Regulatory Information

Federal Communications Commission Statement

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

conditions:

• This device may not cause harmful interference; and

• This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause

undesired operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital

device, pursuant to Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules. These

limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residen-

tial installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and,

if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference

to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that 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 encour-

aged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into 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.

WARNING! The use of a shielded-type power cord is required in order to meet FCC emis-

sion limits and to prevent interference to the nearby radio and television reception. It is essen-

tial that only the supplied power cord be used. Use only shielded cables to connect I/O

devices to this equipment. You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly

approved by the party responsible for compliance could void your authority to operate the

equipment.

CAUTION! To maintain compliance with FCC’s RF exposure guidelines, this equipment

should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20cm between the radiator and

your body. Use only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized antenna, modification, or attach-

ments could damage the transmitter and may violate FCC regulations.

FCC Radio Frequency (Rf) Exposure Caution Statement

• This Wireless LAN radio device has been evaluated under FCC Bulletin OET 65C and

found to be compliant to the requirements as set forth in CFR 47 Sections 2.1091,

2.1093, and 15.247(b)(4) addressing RF Exposure from radio frequency devices. The

radiation output power of this Wireless LAN device is far below the FCC radio fre-

quency exposure limits. Nevertheless, this device shall be used in such a manner that the

potential for human contact during normal operation – as a mobile or portable device but

use in a body-worn way is strictly prohibited. When using this device, a certain separa-

tion distance between antenna and nearby persons has to be kept to ensure RF exposure

compliance. In order to comply with the RF exposure limits established in the ANSI

C95.1 standards, the distance between the antennas and the user should not be less than

20cm.

• The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunc-

tion with any other antenna or transmitter.
