AUTION: EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY RADIATION
This device generates and radiates radio-frequency energy. In order to comply with FCC radio-frequency
exposure guidelines for an uncontrolled environment, this equipment must be installed and operated
while maintaining a minimum body to antenna distance of 20 cm (approximately 8 in.)
The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such that it does
not emit RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety Code 6,
obtainable from Health Canada’s website www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb.
This product must maintain a minimum body to antenna distance of 20 cm. Under these conditions this
product will meet the Basic Restriction limits of 1999/519/EC [Council Recommendation of 12 July 1999
on the limitation of exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields (0 Hz to 300 GHz)].

EDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC)
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, includi ng interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been te sted and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, it may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in
a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or televisi on reception,
which can be de termined by tuning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try and correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures
n
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
n
Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver
n
Connect the equipment to outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected
n
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
The user may find the following booklet prepared by the Federal Communications Commission helpful:

3Com is not responsible for any radio or television interference caused by unauthorized modification of
the devices included with this 3Com 11a/b/g PCI Card (3CRDAG675B, SL-3055), or the substitution or
attachment of connecting cables and equipment other than specified by 3Com.
The correction of interference caused by such unauthorized modification, substitution or attachment will
be the responsibility of the user.
3COM declares that SL-3055 ( FCC ID: O9C-SL3055 ) is limited in CH1~CH11 for 2.4GHz
by specified firmware controlled in U.S.A.

L ‘ utilisation de ce dispositif est autorisée seulement aux conditions suivantes: (1) il ne doit pas produire
de brouillage et (2) l’ utilisateur du dispositif doit étre prêt à accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique reçu,
même si ce brouillage est susceptible de compromettre le fonctionnement du dispositif.
The term "IC" before the equipment certification number only signifies that the Industry Canada
technical specifications were met.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen
that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for successful
communication. To prevent radio interference to the licensed service, this device is i ntended to be
operated indoors and away from windows to provide maxi mum shielding. Equipment (or its transmit
antenna) that is installed outdoors is subject to licensing.
Pour empecher que cet appareil cause du brouillage au service faisant l'objet d'une licence, il doit etre
utilize a l' interieur et devrait etre place loin des fenetres afin de Fournier un ecram de blindage maximal.
Si le matriel
(ou son antenne d'emission) est installe a l'exterieur, il doit faire l'objet d'une licence.

To remain in conformance with European spectrum usage laws for Wireless LAN operation, the above
5GHz channel limitations apply. The user should check the current channel of operation. If operation is
occurring outside of the allowable frequencies as liste d above, the user must cease operating the
3Com 11a/b/g PCI Card at that location and consult the local technical support staff responsible for the
wireless network.
The 5GHz Turbo mode feature is not allowed for operation in any European Community country
n
This device must not be operated in ad -hoc mode using channels in the 5GHz bands in the
European Community. Ad-hoc mode provides a direct communication between two client devices
without a Wireless LAN Access Point.
n
This device must be used with Access Points that have employed and activated a radar detection
feature required for European Community operation in the 5GHz bands. This device will operate
under the control of the Access Point in order to avoid operating on a channel occupied by any radar
system in the area. The presence of nearby radar operation may result in temporary interruption in
communications of this device. The Access Point’s radar detection feature will automatically
restart operation on a channel free of radar. You may consult with the local technical support staff
responsible for the wireless network to ensure the Access Point device(s) are properly configured
for European Community operation.
