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.

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.

FCC CAUTION: 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.

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.

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 antennas or radio transmitters. See www.netgear.com for an updated list of wireless

accessories approved to be used with the WG103 in North America and Australia.
