The WGM -240 802.1 1g wire less LAN (low po wer Radi o
Frequency, RF, transmitt ing device) o perates in t he
2400 - 2483.5 MHz band. The following section is a general
overview of considerations while operating the wireless LAN.

Limitations, cautions, and concerns are listed below and in the
specific country sections (or country group sections). This
wireless device is only qualified for use in the countries
identified by the Rad io Approval Marks on the device rating
label. If the country you will be using the wireless device in is
not listed , please contac t that countri es local Radio Approval
agency for requirements prior to operatio n. Wireless devices
are closely regulated and use may not be allowed.

The power output of the WGM-240 wireless LAN device is well
below the RF exposure limits as known at this time. Because
this wireless device emits less energy than is allowed in radio
frequency safety standards and recommendations, Gateway
believes thes e devices are saf e for use. Regardless of the power
levels, care should be taken to minimize human contact during
normal oper ation.

Measurements have been performed to show tha t the RF
exposure is below what is considered safe limits; however, care
should be taken to make sure that the user or bystanders keep
the trans mitter away from th eir bodies w hen the w ireless
device is transmitting. Measurements indicated compliance
with RF exposure limits at the antenna housing's surface.
