FCC Statement

DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY

We Netgear,

4500 Great America Parkway

Santa Clara, CA 95054, USA

Tel: +1 408 907 8000

declare under our sole responsibility that the product(s)

WG102 (Model Designation)

802.11g ProSafe Wireless Access Point (Product Name)

complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful

interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that

may cause undesired operation.

To assure continued compliance, any changes or modifications not expressly approved by

the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this

equipment. (Example - use only shielded interface cables when connecting to computer or

peripheral devices).

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,

pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against

harmful interference in a residential 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.

202-10064-02, June 2005

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 encouraged to try and correct the interference by one or more of the

following measures:

• Reorient or locate 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.

Placement and Range Guidelines

Indoors, computers can connect over 802.11 wireless networks at a maximum range of several hundred feet

for 802.11b/g devices. However, the operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary

significantly, based on the physical placement of the wireless access point.

For best results, identify a location for your wireless access point according to these guidelines:

• Away from potential sources of interference, such as PCs, large metal surfaces, microwaves, and 2.4 GHz cordless

phones.

• In an elevated location such as a high shelf that is near the center of the wireless coverage area for all mobile

devices.

Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance degradation or inability to wirelessly

connect to the wireless access point.

RF Exposure Warning for North America, and Australia

Warning! To meet FCC and other national safety guidelines for RF exposure, the antennas for this device

(see below) must be installed to ensure a minimum separation distance of 20cm (7.9 in.) from persons.

Further, the antennas shall not be colocated with other antenna or radio transmitter.
