Regulatory Information

Wireless Adapter Regulatory Information

Use on aircraft

Caution: FCC and FAA regulations prohibit airborne operation of radio equipment. The use of wireless communication devices or other signals could interfere with critical interference with critical aircraft instruments.

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. Therefore, it is important to understand 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, the standards may be interpreted as a more generalised approach to the proper conduct 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 device, you may call our Technical Support for more information. If you are encouraged to ask for authorization to use the adapter before you turn it on.

USA-FCC and FAA

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 aircraft. The FCC recommends that the aircraft should be protected against electromagnetic radiation (CER 59.1, 1992). Proper operation of this radio according to the instructions found in the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of State will allow the FCC recommended limits. The following safety precautions should be observed:

• 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 long, or having 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; this behavior may cause damage to the radio.
  Use in specific environments:
• The use of wireless adapters in hazardous locations is limited by the constraints posed by the safety directors of such environments.
• The use of wireless adapters on airplanes is governed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
• The use of wireless adapters in hospitals is restricted to the limits set forth by each hospital.

The product complies with the FCC portable RF exposure limit set forth for an uncontrolled environment and are safe for intended operation as described in this manual. The further RF exposure reduction can be achieved if the product can be used on a user's device from the user body or set the device to lower output power, such function is available.

Explosive device proximity warning

Warning: Do not operate a portable transmitter (including this wireless device) with a battery. This is an unapproved operation unless the transmitter has been modified to be qualified for such use.

Interference statement

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 be used in the case of a wireless communication system that is not intended for use in installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If the equipment is not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, the equipment may cause harmful interference to radio communications. There is no need to install this equipment in the event that the equipment is intended for use. 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 taking one or more of the following actions:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna of the equipment experiencing the interference.
- Increase the distance between the wireless adapter and the equipment experiencing the interference.
- Connect the computer with the wireless adapter to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the equipment experiencing the interference is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. - Check the user's identity and contact information. If the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the system, then report it.

5 GHz devices only

High power radars are allocated as primary users of the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz and 5.65 to 5.85 GHz bands. These radar stations can cause interference with and/or damage this device. No configuration controls are provided for this wireless equipment, but it is possible to use a combination of the frequency offsets (FOS) and FCS grant or authorization for US operation according to Part 15.407 of the FCC rules.

FCC RF exposure information (SAR)

This device meets the government's requirements for exposure to radio waves. This device is a high-speed, 300 MHz radio communication system that can be used to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the United States.

The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W / kg . Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the test to provide accurate transmission at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.

Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR is determined by the actual power level of the device. Therefore, it is important to understand that because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only one device.

In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power consumption. The higher the power consumption, the higher the number of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported specifications. The equipment is designed to be used in the U.S. and the United States. Information on this device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Dispatch Information Section of the U.S. Department of Commerce.

Canada - Industry Canada (IC)

This device complies with RSS247 of Industry Canada. Cet apparente se conforme à RSS247 de Canada d'Industrie.

This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s).

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause any interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause interference.

Radiation Exposure Statement:

The product complies with the Canada portable RF exposure limit set forth for an uncontrolled environment and are safe for intended operation as described in this section.

The further RF exposure reduction can be achieved if the product can be kept as far as possible from the user body or set the device to lower output power if such function is available.

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

Notice for 5 GHz devices

Caution:

(i) the device for operation in the band 5150 - 5250 MHz is only for indoor use to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.
(ii) the maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the bands 5250 - 5350 MHz and 5470 - 5725 MHz shall comply with the e.i.r.p. limit: and
(iii) the maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the band 5725 - 5825 MHz shall comply with the a.i.p. limits specified for point-to-point and non point-to-point communication.
(iv) Users should also be advised that high-power radars are allocated as primary sources for the purpose of the current study. This is because the use of high-power radars will stabilize that these radars could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.

Exposure of humans to RF fields (RSS-102)

The computers employ low gain integral antennas that do not emit RF field in excess of the 10mW bandwidth. The antenna is located at the Air Force Safety Code 6, obtained from Health Canada's Web site at http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/.

The radiated energy from the antennas connected to the wireless adapters comfers with the maximum exposure antenna required for IC 102.2 (see Figure 1). SAR spectra conducted on the frequency band of 30GHz are presented by the FCC/RSS with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested cases. The sensitivity of the device is 5% and the bandwidth is 10kHz . The difference between the above restrictions may result in violation of FCC RF exposure guidelines.

Tests DAS are used to establish the positions recommended by the FCC/CNR and the positions recommended by the FRC. The positions are based on frequencies tested less than distance attached loiter in the corpus. Non-respect the restrictions of the test, but use a frequency that is greater than 10Hz

Brazil

RF exposure information (SAR)

This device meets the EU requirements (2014/53/EU) on the limitation of exposure of children to radio and television. The device is designed to guarantee the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health, the limits include a significant safety buffer. Before radio devices can be put in circulation, their agreement with European laws or limits must be confirmed; only then may the CE regulations be enforced.

The unit of measurement for the European Council's recommended limit for mobile devices is 10 g of body tissue. The maximum limit for mobile devices is 10 g of body tissue over 10 g of body tissue. It meets the requirements of the International Commission on Standardization (ISO) for measuring the amount of body tissue in a device, calculated at the highest output level in all frequency bands of the mobile device. The highest SAR value reported under this standard during product certification for use of mobile devices is 10 g of body tissue.

During use, the actual SAR level is usually much lower than the maximum value, because the mobile device works in different output levels. It only transmits with as much output as is required to reach the network. In general the following applies: The maximum value you are to a base station, the lower the transmission output of your mobile device.
