Electrostatic discharge!

Electrostatic discharge may damage or destroy the SysKonnect SK-54C1 Wireless LAN Cardbus Adapter.

To avoid damaging the SysKonnect SK-54C1 Wireless LAN Cardbus Adapter observe the fol- lowing:

•Never use force when working with the SysKonnect Cardbus Adapter.

•Do not place the SysKonnect Cardbus Adapter on an unstable surface. The device may fall causing serious damage to the device.

•Avoid unnecessary movement since this can increase electrostatic charge.

•Use in specific environments:

•The use of wireless devices in hazardous locations is limited by the constraints posed by the safety directors of such environments.

•The use of wireless devices in hospitals is restricted to the limits set forth by each hospital.

Regulations of the FCC and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) prohibit airborne operation of radio-frequency wireless devices because their signals could interfere with critical aircraft instruments.

FCC Safety Notices

The FCC in ET Docket 96-8 has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to RF electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC certified equipment.
