The FCC RF safety requirement

The radiated output power of Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Card and

Bluetooth ® card is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits.

Nevertheless, the Notebook PC series shall be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized as follows:

80 Appendix A Regulation & safety notices

1 Users are requested to follow the RF safety instructions on wireless option devices that are included in the user’s manual of each RF option device.

Caution: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, a separation distance of at least 20 cm (8 inches) must be maintained between the antenna for the integrated

Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Card built in to the screen section and all persons.

Note: Acer Wireless Mini PCI Adapter implements a transmission diversity function. The function does not emit radio frequencies simultaneously from both antennas. One of the antennas is selected automatically or manually (by users) to ensure goodquality radiocommunication.

2 This device is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the

5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency range. FCC requires this product to be used indoors for the frequency range 5.15 to 5.25 GHz to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile

Satellite systems.

3 High power radar 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.

4 An improper installation or unauthorised use may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Also any tampering of the internal antenna will void the FCC certification and your warranty.
