Jon, for frequency information, check the CEPT Decisions and Recommendations
at http://www.ero.dk/ <http://www.ero.dk/> .
The alert symbol forms part of the CE marking, so it must appear where ever
the CE marking must appear: the packaging, the product and the Declaration.
The member states or geographical areas where the unit may be used must be
listed on the packaging, and the restrictions must be in the user manual. We
plan to insert a single page with the intended use and restrictions in the
official languages of the EEA. We are referencing each country by their 2
letter postal codes. We will have three sets of listings: one list of letter
codes will be for countries where there are no restrictions, one country
will be listed with the restriction that the power must be reduced according
to the installation instructions, and one country will be listed as
operation is not allowed.

Subject: R&TTE & Spain, France
Hi Groups,
We have performed ETS 300 328, ETS 300 826 (61000-4-3, 61000-4-2),
CE, and
FCC testing on our 11MBPS (2.4GHz) wireless card. We intend to ship
this
card throughout the EU after forwarding the Annex IV (TCF) info to a
Notified Body and receiving their "opinion" on the test data.
Questions we have based on the R&TTE Directive:
* Are France and Spain the only 2 countries in the EU that have the
frequency channel restrictions for this type of device? I have some
documentation from 1998 that lists France as allowing only 4
channels (10,
11, 12, 13 - 2457MHz thru 2472MHz). This same documentation lists
Spain as
allowing only 2 channels (10, 11 - 2457MHZ thru 2462MHz). This
document
also states that the remaining EU member states allow channels 1 -
13
(2412MHz thru 2472MHz) to be used. Are these channel restrictions
the
correct ones? Are there any others?
* In addition to placing the "ALERT" symbol on the product, must we
also
list the "ALERT" symbol in our user's guide that ships with the
product?
* Is there a specific text statement that should be included in the
manual
that states that the product has legal (geographical) limitations in
France
and Spain (and/or any other countries)? Is there a specific way to
state
this restriction?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards,
