Scope
The information in this document is applicable to the Cisco Aironet AIR-PI21AG-E-K9, AIR-CB21AG-E-K9, and other Cisco Aironet 802.11a/b/g products as they come to market.
The equipment can operate in the bands (or portions of) 2400 to 2483.5 MHz, 5150 to 5350 MHz, and 5470 to 5725 MHz. National regulations may require that operations be limited to a portion of the frequency ranges identified above. See the "National Restrictions" section for full details.
Declaration of Conformity with Regard to the EU Directive
1999/5/EC (R&TTE Directive)
Note The full declaration of conformity for this product can be found in the Declarations of Conformity and Regulatory Information section of the appropriate product hardware installation guide, which is available on Cisco.com. See the "Obtaining Documents from Cisco.com" section for instructions for downloading these documents.
The following standards were applied during the assessment of the product against the requirements of the Directive 1999/5/EC:
•Radio: EN 301 893 and EN 300 328
•EMC: EN 301 489-1 and EN 301 489-17
•Safety: EN 60950 and EN 50371
Note The 5-GHz equipment meets the Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements applicable to client cards (slaves) as defined in ETSI EN 301 893.
Note In order to meet the Transmit Power Control (TPC) requirement, the equipment has different user-selectable power levels from which the maximum power level is 3 dB below the applicable limit. See the "Changing Output Power" section for instructions on how to change the output power settings.
CE Marking
For the dual-band (2.4- and 5-GHz) 802.11a/b/g wireless products such as the Cisco Aironet AIR-PI21AG series and AIR-CB21AG series, the following CE mark and class-2 identifier are added to the equipment:
National Restrictions
In the majority of the EU and other European countries, the 2.4- and 5-GHz bands have been made available for the use of wireless LANs. Table 1 provides and overview of the regulatory requirements in general that are applicable for the 2.4- and 5-GHz bands.
Later in this section you will find an overview of countries in which additional restrictions or requirements or both are applicable.
The requirements for any country may evolve. Cisco recommends that you check with local authorities for the latest status of their national regulations for both 2.4- and 5-GHz wireless LANs.

1 Dynamic Frequency Selection and Transmit Power Control is required in the 5250 to 5350-MHz and 5470 to 5725-MHz frequency range.
1 The following sections identify countries having additional requirements or restrictions than those listed in Table 1.
Denmark
In Denmark, the band 5150 - 5350 MHz is also allowed for outdoor usage.
France
For 2.4 GHz, the output power is restricted to 10 mW EIRP when the product is used outdoors in the band 2454 - 2483.5 MHz. There are no restrictions when used in other parts of the 2,4 GHz band. Check http://www.arcep.fr/ for more details.
Italy
This product meets the National Radio Interface and the requirements in the National Frequency Allocation Table for Italy. Operating wireless equipment requires a "general authorization" unless it is operated within the boundaries of the owner's property. Please check with http://www.comunicazioni.it/it/ for more details.
Questo prodotto и conforme alla specifiche di Interfaccia Radio Nazionali e rispetta il Piano Nazionale di ripartizione delle frequenze in Italia. Se non viene installato all'interno del proprio fondo, l'utilizzo di prodotti Wireless LAN richiede una "Autorizzazione Generale". Consultare http://www.comunicazioni.it/it/ per maggiori dettagli.
Latvia
The outdoor usage of the 2.4-GHz band requires an authorization from the Electronic Communications Office. Please check http://www.esd.lv for more details.
Antennas
The dual-band (2.4- and 5-GHz) wireless LAN products described in this document have integrated antennas which cannot be removed or which are not user accessible.
Operating Frequency
The operating frequency is determined by the access point to which the client card is associated. Manual setting of the operating frequency of the AIR-PI21AG and AIR-CB21AG client cards is not possible. It is important that the network (access point) is correctly configured to meet the local regulations.
Changing Output Power
Follow these steps to change the output power of the AIR-PI21AG and AIR-CB21AG client cards to meet the local regulations:
Step 1 Open the Aironet Desktop Utility.
Step 2 Highlight the profile for the device you are using.
Step 3 Click Modify.
Step 4 Click Advanced.
Step 5 In the Transmit Power Level section, select the drop down arrow for the device you want to change.
Table 2 lists the output power levels available for each device.
