Wireless interoperability

The Dell™ TrueMobile™ 300 Bluetooth 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. 802.1b-1999. Standard on Wireless LAN.
• Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) certification, as defined by the WECA (Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance).

The Dell TrueMobile 300 Bluetooth card and your health

The Dell™ TrueMobile™ 300 Bluetooth 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 TrueMobile 300 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 300 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, 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 300 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

Departments 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:

This requirement is likely to change over time, allowing to use your wireless LAN card in more areas within France. Please check with ART for the latest information (www.art-telecom.fr)

NOTE—Your Dell TrueMobile 300 card transmits less than 100 mW, but more than 10 mW.

USA—Federal Communications Commission (FCC)

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation of the device is subject to the following two conditions:

• This device may not cause harmful interference.
• This device must accept any interference that may cause undesired operation.

NOTE—The radiated output power of this Dell TrueMobile 300 wireless network device is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the Dell TrueMobile 1180 wireless network device 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 2.5 cm (1 inch) between you (or any other person in the vicinity) and the antenna that is built into the computer. To determine the location of the antenna within your computer, check the information posted on the general Dell support site at support.dell.com.

Interference statement

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:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

NOTE—This Dell TrueMobile 300 wireless network device 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.

Radio approvals

To determine whether you are allowed to use your wireless network device in a specific country, please 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 Dell support site at support.dell.com.
