USA and Canada Safety Requirements and Notices The FCC with its action in ET Docket 96-8 has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC certified equipment. The Intel PRO/Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter products meet the Human Exposure limits found in OET Bulletin 65, 2001, and ANSI/IEEE C95.1, 1992. Proper operation of this radio according to the instructions found in this manual will result in exposure substantially below the FCC’s recommended limits. The following safety precautions should be observed: • Do not touch or move antenna while the unit is transmitting or receiving. • Do not hold any component containing the radio such that the antenna is very close or touching any exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. • Do not operate the radio or attempt to transmit data unless the antenna is connected; if not, the radio may be damaged. • Use in specific environments: o The use of wireless devices in hazardous locations is limited by the constraints posed by the safety directors of such environments. o The use of wireless devices on airplanes is governed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). o The use of wireless devices in hospitals is restricted to the limits set forth by each hospital. • Antenna use: o In order to comply with FCC RF exposure limits, low gain integrated antennas should be located at a minimum distance of 20 cm (8 inches) or more from the body of all persons. o High-gain, wall-mount, or mast-mount antennas are designed to be professionally installed and should be located at a minimum distance of 30 cm (12 inches) or more from the body of all persons. Please contact your professional installer, VAR, or antenna manufacturer for proper installation requirements. Explosive Device Proximity Warning 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. Antenna Warning Warning: To comply with the FCC and ANSI C95.1 RF exposure limits, it is recommended for Intel(R) PRO/Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapters installed in a desktop or portable computer, that the antenna for this device be installed so as to provide a separation distance of al least 20 cm (8 inches) from all persons and that the antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or radio transmitter. It is recommended that the user limit exposure time if the antenna is positioned closer than 20 cm (8 inches). Use On Aircraft Caution Caution: Regulations of the FCC and FAA prohibit airborne operation of radio-frequency wireless devices because their signals could interfere with critical aircraft instruments.

Standby, Hibernation, and shutdown procedures are provided later in the chapter. Standby and Hibernation are energy-saving features that can be initiated by you or by the system. Standby Standby reduces power to system components that are not in use. When Standby is initiated, your work is saved in random access memory (RAM) and the screen is cleared. ■Saving your work before initiating Standby is not usually necessary, but is a recommended precaution. ■When the notebook is in Standby, the power/standby light flashes. When you resume from Standby, your work returns to the screen where you left off. Hibernation Hibernation saves system memory to the hard drive, takes a snapshot of the notebook image, then shuts down the notebook. When you resume from Hibernation, your work returns to the screen exactly as you left it. The following information may be useful as you manage Hibernation: ■Saving your work before initiating Hibernation is not usually necessary, but is a recommended precaution. CPQ-311245-001.book Page 2 Thursday, March 27, 2003 10:17 PM Power Startup and Reference Guide—Part 24–3 ■To determine whether the notebook is in Hibernation or turned off, press the power button: ❏If the notebook is in Hibernation, your work returns to the screen. ❏If the notebook is off, Windows loads. ■Hibernation is enabled by default, but can be disabled. To prevent loss of work during a critical low-battery condition, disable Hibernation only during a battery pack calibration. To verify that Hibernation is enabled, select Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options icon > Hibernate tab. If Hibernation is enabled, the Enable Hibernation check box is selected. Ä CAUTION: If the configuration of the notebook system is changed during Hibernation, it may not be possible to resume from Hibernation. When the notebook is in Hibernation: ■Do not add or remove a memory module. ■Do not connect or disconnect an external device. ■Do not insert or remove a CD, DVD, PC Card, SD Card, or MMC. Shutdown Shutdown procedures turn off the notebook. Whether to leave a battery pack in the notebook or in storage depends on how you work: ■Leaving the battery pack in the notebook enables the battery pack to charge whenever the notebook is connected to external power and also protects your work during a power outage. ■A battery pack in the notebook discharges more quickly, even when the notebook is turned off, than a battery pack that has been removed from the notebook and stored in a cool, dry location. CPQ-311245-001.book Page 3 Thursday, March 27, 2003 10:17 PM 4–4Startup and Reference Guide—Part 2 Power Choosing Standby, Hibernation or Shutdown If you plan to resume shortly: Initiate Standby for shorter times and Hibernation for longer times or power conservation. The amount of time a battery pack can support Standby or Hibernation or hold a charge varies by notebook configuration and the condition of the battery pack. ■Initiating Standby clears the screen, uses less power than leaving the notebook on, and your work returns quickly to the screen when you resume from Standby. A fully charged new battery pack can typically support Standby for up to 48 hours. ■Initiating Hibernation clears the screen and uses much less power than Standby. Returning to work saved in Hibernation takes longer than returning to work saved in Standby, but is faster than returning to your place manually after restarting the notebook. A fully charged new battery pack can typically support Hibernation for several weeks. If you plan to resume within 2 weeks: Shut down the notebook. If possible, connect the notebook to external power to keep an inserted battery pack fully charged. If the notebook will be disconnected from external power for more than 2 weeks: To extend the life of an inserted battery pack, shut down the notebook. Remove the battery pack and store it in a cool, dry location. If an external power supply is …
