France – 2.4GHz for Metropolitan France.
Compliance with International Standards 93
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
• Outdoor use: maximum power (EIRP*) of 100 mW for the
2400-2454 MHz band and with maximum power (EIRP*) of 10
mW for the 2454-2483 MHz band.
IMPORTANT: Changes or modifications to this product not authorized could
void the EMC and wireless compliance and negate your authority to operate the
product. This product has demonstrated EMC compliance under conditions that
included the use of compliant peripheral devices and shielded cables between
system components. It is important that you use compliant peripheral devices
and shielded cables between system components to reduce the possibility of
causing interference to radios, televisions, and other electronic devices.
Certification information (SAR)
The device meets guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
Compliance with International Standards 94
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, regard-
less of age and health.
The exposure guidelines for devices employ a unit of measure-
ment known as the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit
stated in the ICNIRP guidelines is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) aver-
aged over 10 grams of tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its
highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The
actual SAR level of an operating device can be below the maxi-
mum 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].
