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 Radio Approval Marks on the device rating
label. If the country you will be using the wireless device in is
not listed, please contact that countries local Radio Approval
agency for requirements prior to operation. 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 these devices are safe for use. Regardless of the power
levels, care should be taken to minimize human contact during
normal operation.

Measurements have been performed to show that the RF
exposure is below what is considered safe limits; however, care

Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere
with equipment on commercial aircraft. Current
aviation regulations require wireless devices to be
turned off while traveling in an airplane. IEEE 802.11g
(also known as wireless Ethernet or Wifi)
communication devices are examples of devices that
provide wireless communication. See the user’s guide
for the device that this card will be installed into for
instructions on turning off the wireless functionality.

In environments where the risk of interference to other
devices or services is harmful or perceived as
harmful, the option to use a wireless device may be
restricted or eliminated. Airports, hospitals, and
oxygen or flammable gas laden atmospheres are
limited examples where use of wireless devices may
be restricted or eliminated. When in environments
where you are uncertain of the sanction to use
wireless devices, ask the applicable authority for
authorization prior to use or turning on the wireless
device.

Every country has different restrictions on the use of
wireless devices. When traveling between countries,
check with the local Radio Approval authorities prior to
any move or trip for any restrictions on the use of a
wireless device in the destination country.

Do not operate the wireless device unless all covers
and shields are in place and the device it is installed
into is fully assembled.

Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not
modify them in any way. Modification to a wireless
device will void the authorization to use it. Contact
Gateway for service.

Only use drivers approved for the country in which the
device will be used. Install the Gateway device drivers
included with your product, or contact Gateway
Technical Support for additional information.
