NOTES:
EIRP = effective isotropic radiated power (including antenna gain)
Your Dell Wireless WLAN Card transmits less than 100 mW of power, but more than 10
mW.
Wireless Interoperability
The Dell Wireless WLAN Card products are designed to be interoperable with any wireless LAN product that is based on direct
sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) radio technology and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and to comply
with the following standards:
IEEE 802.11a Standard on 5 GHz Wireless LAN
IEEE 802.11b-1999 Standard on 2.4 GHz Wireless LAN
IEEE 802.11g Standard on 2.4 GHz Wireless LAN
IEEE 802.11n Standard on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wireless LAN
Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi®) certification, as defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance
Safety
The Dell Wireless WLAN Card, like other radio devices, emits radio frequency electromagnetic energy. The level of energy
emitted by this device, however, is less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by other wireless devices such as mobile
phones. The Dell Wireless WLAN Card wireless device operates within 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 or environments, the use of the Dell Wireless WLAN Card wireless devices may be restricted by
the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of the applicable organization. Examples of such situations include
the following:
Using the Dell Wireless WLAN Card equipment on board airplanes, or
Using the Dell Wireless WLAN Card equipment 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 devices in a specific organization or environment (an
airport, for example), you are encouraged to ask for authorization to use the Dell Wireless WLAN Card wireless device before
you turn it on.
Warning: Explosive Device Proximity
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.
Caution: Use on Aircraft
Regulations of the FCC and FAA prohibit airborne operation of radio-frequency wireless devices because their signals could
interfere with critical aircraft instruments.
