Safety Notices

The FCC with its action in ET Docket 96-8 has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to
radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC certified equipment. The Intel
PRO/Wireless 5000 LAN products the Intel® PRO/Wireless 5000 LAN Access Point model
WSAP5000, the Intel PRO/Wireless CardBus Adapter model WCP5000, and the Intel
PRO/Wireless PCI Adapter model WPCI5000 meet the uncontrolled environmental limits found in
OET-65 and ANSI C95.1, 1991. Proper operation of this radio according to the instructions found
in this manual will result in exposure substantially below the FCC’s recommended limits.

• Do not touch or move antenna while the unit is transmitting or receiving.

• Do not hold any component containing the radio such that the antenna is very close or

• touching any exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.

• Do not operate the radio or attempt to transmit data unless the antenna is connected; if

• not, the radio may be damaged.

• Use in specific environments:

o The use of wireless devices in hazardous locations is limited to the constraints

posed by the safety directors of such environments.

o The use of wireless devices on airplanes is governed by the Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA).

o The use of wireless devices in hospitals is restricted to the limits set forth by each

hospital.

• Antenna use:
o High-gain, wall-mount, or mast-mount antennas are designed to be

professionally installed and should be located at a minimum distance of 12
inches (30 cm) or more from the body of all persons. Please contact your
professional installer, VAR, or antenna manufacturer for proper installation
requirements.

Explosive Device Proximity Warning

Warning: Do not operate a portable transmitter (such as a wireless network device) near

unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive environment unless the device has been modified to
be especially qualified for such use.

Use On Aircraft Caution

Caution: Regulations of the FCC and FAA prohibit airborne operation of radio-frequency wireless

devices because their signals could interfere with critical aircraft instruments.

Other Wireless Devices

Safety Notices for Other Devices in the Wireless Network: Refer to the documentation

supplied with wireless Ethernet adapters or other devices in the wireless network.

FCC Rules and Regulations - Part 15

The Intel® PRO/Wireless 5000 LAN Access and Intel PRO/Wireless CardBus Adapter model
WCP5000 device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference and,

2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause

undesired operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device
pursuant to Part 15 of the 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 and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
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 television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
