Information for the user
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(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network
Connection adapter or the Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945BG Network
Connection adapter meet the Human Exposure limits found in OET Bulletin
65, supplement C, 2001, and ANSI/IEEE C95.1, 1992. Proper operation of

this radio according to the instructions found in this manual will result in
exposure substantially below the FCC’s recommended limits.
The following safety precautions should be observed:
zDo not touch or move antenna while the unit is transmitting or receiving.
zDo 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.
zDo not operate the radio or attempt to transmit data unless the antenna is
connected; if not, the radio may be damaged.
zUse in specific environments:
ÖThe use of wireless devices in hazardous locations is limited by the
constraints posed by the safety directors of such environments.
ÖThe use of wireless devices on airplanes is governed by the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA).
ÖThe use of wireless devices in hospitals is restricted to the limits set
forth by each hospital.
zAntenna use:
ÖIn order to comply with FCC RF exposure limits, low gain integrated
antennas should be located at a minimum distance of 20 cm (8 inches)
or more from the body of all persons.
ÖHigh-gain, wall-mount, or mast-mount antennas are designed to be
professionally installed and should be located at a minimum distance
of 30 cm (12 inches) 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 qualified for such use.
Antenna Warnings
Warning: To comply with the FCC and ANSI C95.1 RF exposure limits, it is
recommended for the Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
adapter or the Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945BG Network Connection adapter
installed in a desktop or portable computer, that the antenna for this device be
installed so as to provide a separation distance of al least 20 cm (8 inches) from
all persons and that the antenna must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or radio transmitter. It is recommended
that the user limit exposure time if the antenna is positioned closer than 20 cm
(8 inches).
Warning: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless LAN products are not designed for use with
high-gain directional antennas. Use of such antennas with these products is
illegal.
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.
Local Restrictions on 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g Radio Usage
Caution: Due to the fact that the frequencies used by 802.11a, 802.11b and
802.11g wireless LAN devices may not yet be harmonized in all countries,

designated use. As a user of these products, you are responsible for ensuring
that the products are used only in the countries for which they were intended
and for verifying that they are configured with the correct selection of
frequency and channel for the country of use. The device transmit power
control (TPC) interface is part of the Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless software.
Operational restrictions for Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) are
provided by the system manufacturer. Any deviation from the permissible
power and frequency settings for the country of use is an infringement of
national law and may be punished as such.
For country-specific information, see the additional compliance information
supplied with the product.
