Intel PRO/Wireless 5000 LAN Products

This section provides the following safety and regulatory notices covering the following products: Intel® PRO/Wireless 5000 LAN Access Point and Intel® PRO/Wireless 5000 LAN CardBus Adapter.

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 meet the Human Exposure limits found in OET Bulletin 65, 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.

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 Warning

Warning: To comply with the FCC and ANSI C95.1 RF exposure limits, it is recommended when using a wireless device with an integrated antenna (whether an Access Point, a PC Card inserted into a laptop computer, or a PCI or MiniPCI card installed in a desktop computer), that the antenna should not be positioned closer than 5 cm (two inches) from your body or 6ther persons for extended periods of time while it is transmitting (or operating). If the antenna is positioned less than 5 cm (two inches) from the user, it is recommended that the user limit exposure time.

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.

Power Supply (Access Point)

Use manufacturer-provided power supply with output rating 5.0 VDC and 2.5 A.

FCC Regulations

FCC Regulations Part 15 Declaration of Conformity (DoC)

Intel Corporation declares that the equipment described in this document is within the requirements of the Code of Federal Regulations listed below:

Title 47 Part 15, Subpart B, Class B for a digital device.

This declaration is based upon the compliance of the Intel® PRO/Wireless 5000 LAN Access Point model WSAP5000, the Intel PRO/Wireless CardBus Adapter model WCB5000, and the Intel PRO/Wireless PCI Adapter model WPCI5000 to the above standards. Intel has determined that the models listed have been shown to comply with the applicable technical standards if no unauthorized change is made in the equipment and if the equipment is properly maintained and operated.

These units are identical to the units tested and found acceptable with the applicable standards. Records maintained by Intel continue to reflect that units being produced under this Declaration of Conformity, within the variation that can be expected due to quantity production and tested on a statistical basis, continue to comply with the applicable technical standards.

FCC Rules and Regulations - Part 15

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two 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 following measures:

CAUTION: The Part 15 radio device operates on a non-interference basis with other devices operating at this frequency. Any changes or modification to said product not expressly approved by Intel could void the user's authority to operate this device.

Canadian Department of Communications Industry Canada (IC) Notice

These digital apparatuses do not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatuses set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.

Les présents appareils numériques n'ément pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils numériques de Classe B prescrites dans le règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicté par le Ministère des Communications du Canada.

These devices comply with Class B Limits of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

  1. The device may not cause harmful interference, and
  2. The device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

These devices are certified to the requirements of ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and RSS-210 for 5 GHz UNII band devices. The use of these devices in a system operating either partially or completely outdoors may require the user to obtain a license for the system according to the Canadian regulations. For further information, contact your local Canada Industry office.

Radio Frequency Interference Requirements – USA

This device uses, generates and radiates radio frequency energy. The radio frequency energy produced by this device is well below the maximum exposure allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

This device complies with the limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to Part 15 subpart C of the FCC Rules and Regulations. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

  1. This device may not cause harmful interference.

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

The FCC limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual and operated in a commercial environment. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular commercial installation, or if operated in a residential area.

If harmful interference with radio or television reception occurs when the device is turned on, the user must correct the situation at the user’s own expense. The user is encouraged to try one or more of the following corrective measures:

Radio Frequency Interference Requirements – Canada

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003, Issue 2, and RSS-210, Issue 4 (Dec. 2000).

“To prevent radio interference to the licensed service, this device is intended to be operated indoors and away from windows to provide maximum shielding. Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is installed outdoors is subject to licensing.”

Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003,

No. 2, et CNR-210, No. 4 (Dec. 2000).

« Pour empêcher que cet appareil cause du brouillage au service faisant l'objet d'une licence, il doit être utilisé à l'intérieur et devrait être placé loin des fenêtres afin de fournir un écran de blindage maximal. Si le matériel (ou son antenne d'émission) est installé à l'extérieur, il doit faire l'objet d'une licence. »
