Safety Instructions
 

The Dell� TrueMobile� 1300 Wireless USB 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 Dell TrueMobile 1300 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 TrueMobile 1300 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 TrueMobile equipment on board airplanes,  
  


• Using the Dell TrueMobile equipment in medical facilities, or  
  


• Using the Dell TrueMobile 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 TrueMobile 1300 wireless device before you turn it on.

France

Some areas of France have a restricted frequency band. The worst-case maximum authorised power indoors is:
 
10 mW for the entire 2.4 GHz band (2400 MHz�2483.5 MHz)
 
100 mW for frequencies between 2446.5 MHz and 2483.5 MHz (NOTE�Channels 10 through 13 inclusive operate in the band 2446.6 MHz to 2483.5 MHz)
 
There are few possibilities for outdoor use: On private property or on the private property of public persons, use is subject to a preliminary authorisation procedure by the Ministry of Defence, with maximum authorised power of 100 mW in the 2446.5�2483.5 MHz band. Use outdoors on public property is not permitted.
 
In the departments listed below, for the entire 2.4 GHz band:
 
Maximum authorized power indoors is 100 mW
 
Maximum authorized power outdoors is 10 mW
 
Departements in which the use of the 2400�2483.5 MHz band is permitted with an EIRP of less than 100 mW indoors and less than 10 mW outdoors:

01	Ain Orientales	36	Indre	66	Pyr�n�es
02	Aisne	37	Indre et Loire	67	Bas Rhin
03	Allier	41	Loir et Cher	68	Haut Rhin
05	Hautes Alpes	42	Loire	70	Haute Sa�ne
08	Ardennes	45	Loiret	71	Sa�ne et Loire
09	Ari�ge	50	Manche	75	Paris
