Regulatory: Broadcom Wireless Adapter with Bluetooth® 2.0 + EDR Technology User Guide

The Broadcom Wireless Adapter is designed to comply with BLUETOOTH SPECIFICATION Version 2.0 + EDR.

The Broadcom Wireless 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 Broadcom Wireless Adapter 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 Broadcom Wireless Adapter equipment may be restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of the applicable organization.

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 Broadcom Wireless Adapter equipment before you turn it on.

Operational Information
Regulatory information

CAUTION: Explosive Device Proximity 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.

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.

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement

CAUTION: The radiated output power of the Broadcom Wireless Adapter is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the Broadcom Wireless Adapter should be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized. To avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, you should keep a distance of at least 20 cm between you (or any other person in the vicinity) and the antenna that is built into the notebook. To determine the location of the antenna within your portable computer, check the information posted on the general Broadcom support site at support@broacom.com.

CAUTION: This device has also been evaluated for and shown compliant with the FCC RF exposure limits under portable exposure conditions (antennas are within 20 cm of a person's body) when installed in certain specific OEM configurations. Details of the authorized configurations can be found at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid/help.html by entering the FCC ID number on the device.

Interference Statement

These devices comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation of the devices is subject to the following two conditions: (1) The devices may not cause harmful interference, and (2) The devices must accept any 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. If the equipment is not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, the equipment may cause harmful interference to radio communications. There is no guarantee, however, that such 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 taking one or more of the following measures:

NOTE: This Broadcom Wireless Adapter must be installed and used in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions as described in the user documentation that comes with the product. Any other installation or use will violate FCC Part 15 regulations. Modifications not expressly approved by Broadcom could void your authority to operate the equipment.

This device must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

France

In all Metropolitan départements, wireless frequencies can be used under the following conditions, either for public or private use:

Korea

The operation of this radio equipment is prohibited for purposes involving or related to public safety.

Taiwan DGT

Article 12: Unless granted permission by Taiwan DGT, the user is not allowed to change the frequency or transmitting power or enhance or alter the original design characteristics or operating functions of an approved low-power radio frequency device.

Article 14: Low-power radio-frequency devices shall not influence aircraft security or interfere with legal communications; if such influence or interference occurs, the user shall immediately cease operating the device. Legal communications is defined as radio communications operations that conform to the Telecommunications Act. Low-power radio-frequency devices must accept any interference received from legal communications and industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) radio wave devices.

Radio Approvals

It is important to ensure that you only use your radio device in countries where the device is approved for use. To determine whether you are allowed to use your wireless network device in a specific country, check to see if the radio type number that is printed on the identification label of your device is listed on the radio approval list posted on the general Broadcom support site at support@broadcom.com.

In countries other than the United States and Japan, verify that the Location setting from the Regional Options tab in Regional and Language Options (from Control Panel) has been set to the country in which you are using your Broadcom Wireless Adapter. This ensures compliance with local regulatory restrictions on transmit power and optimizes operational performance. Any deviation from the permissible power and frequency settings for the country of use is an infringment of national law and may be punished as such.
