"IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ALL USERS OR DISTRIBUTORS:
Intel wireless LAN adapters are engineered, manufactured, tested, and quality checked to
ensure that they meet all necessary local and governmental regulatory agency requirements
for the regions that they are designated and/or marked to ship into. Because wireless LANs
are generally unlicensed devices that share spectrum with radars, satellites, and other
licensed and unlicensed devices, it is sometimes necessary to dynamically detect, avoid, and
limit usage to avoid interference with these devices. In many instances Intel is required to
provide test data to prove regional and local compliance to regional and governmental
regulations before certification or approval to use the product is granted. Intel's wireless
LAN's EEPROM, firmware, and software driver are designed to carefully control parameters
that affect radio operation and to ensure electromagnetic compliance (EMC). These
parameters include, without limitation, RF power, spectrum usage, channel scanning, and
human exposure.
For these reasons Intel cannot permit any manipulation by third parties of the software
provided in binary format with the wireless LAN adapters (e.g., the EEPROM and firmware).
Furthermore, if you use any patches, utilities, or code with the Intel wireless LAN adapters
that have been manipulated by an unauthorized party (i.e., patches, utilities, or code
(including open source code modifications) which have not been validated by Intel), (i) you
will be solely responsible for ensuring the regulatory compliance of the products, (ii) Intel
will bear no liability, under any theory of liability for any issues associated with the modified
products, including without limitation, claims under the warranty and/or issues arising from
regulatory non-compliance, and (iii) Intel will not provide or be required to assist in
providing support to any third parties for such modified products.
Note: Many regulatory agencies consider Wireless LAN adapters to be "modules", and
accordingly, condition system-level regulatory approval upon receipt and review of test data
documenting that the antennas and system configuration do not cause the EMC and radio
operation to be non-compliant."

The Wireless Adapter and Your Health
The wireless adapter, like other radio devices, emits radio frequency electromagnetic
energy. The level of energy emitted by the wireless adapter, however, is less than the
electromagnetic energy emitted by other wireless devices such as mobile phones. The
wireless adapter operates within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards
and recommendations. These standards and recommendations reflect the consensus of the
scientific community and result from deliberations of panels and committees of scientists
who continually review and interpret the extensive research literature. In some situations or
environments, the use of the wireless adapter may be restricted by the proprietor of the
building or responsible representatives of the applicable organization. Examples of such
situations may include:
Using the wireless adapter on board airplanes, or
Using the wireless adapter in any other environment where the risk of interference
with other devices or services is perceived or identified as being harmful.
If you are uncertain of the policy that applies to the use of wireless adapters in a specific
organization or environment (an airport, for example), you are encouraged to ask for
authorization to use the adapter before you turn it on.
