with the R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC. France – 2.4GHz for Metro-
politan France. In all Metropolitan departments, wireless LAN
frequencies can be used under the following conditions, either
for public or private use:
• Indoor use: maximum power (EIRP*) of 100 mW for the
entire 2400-2483.5 MHz frequency band
Compliance with International Standards 61
• Outdoor use: maximum power (EIRP*) of 100 mW for the
2400-2454 MHz band and with maximum power (EIRP*) of 10

Certification information (SAR)
The device meets guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
Your device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not
to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended
by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed
by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP and include
safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons,
Compliance with International Standards 62
regardless of age and health. The exposure guidelines for devices
employ a unit of measurement known as the Specifi c Absorp-
tion Rate or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the ICNIRP guidelines
is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of tissue.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
with the device transmitting at its highest certifi ed power level in
all tested frequency bands. The actual SAR level of an operating
device can be below the maximum value because the device is
designed to use only the power required to reach the network.
This equipment complies with the European Council Recommen-
dation of 12 July 1999 on the Limitation of Exposure of the Gen-
eral Public to Electromagnetic Fields [1999/519/EC].
