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 2200BG Network Connection 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: The Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection product is 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.
Local Restrictions on 802.11b and 802.11g Radio Usage
All frequencies used by 802.11b and 802.11g are harmonized. Some countries though may not allow 802.11g.
Wireless interoperability
The Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection adapter is designed to be interoperable with any wireless
LAN product that is based on direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) radio technology and to comply with the
following standards:
● IEEE Std. 802.11b-1999. Standard on Wireless LAN.
● IEEE Std. 802.11g compliant. Standard on Wireless LAN.
● Wireless Fidelity (WiFi(R)) certification, as defined by the WECA (Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance).
The Intel(R) PRO/Wireless LAN 2200BG Mini PCI adapter and your health
The Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection adapter, 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 Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network
Connection adapter 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 Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG
