REGULATORY STATEMENTS

FCC Certification

The United States Federal Communication Commission (FCC) and the
Canadian Department of Communications have established certain rules
governing the use of electronic equipment.

Part15, Class B

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:

1) This device may not cause harmful interface, and

2) This device must accept any interface received, including interface 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
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. 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 off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:

w Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
w Increase the distance between the equipment and receiver.
w Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to

which the receiver is connected.

CAUTION:

Please note that as this device can be used within 2.5cm of the body.

Channel

The Wireless Channel sets the radio frequency used for communication.

•Access Points use a fixed Channel. You can select the Channel used.

This allows you tochoose a Channel which provides the least interference

and best performance. In the USAand Canada, 11 channel are available.
If using multiple Access Points, it is better if adjacent Access Points use
different Channels to reduce interference.

• In "Infrastructure" mode, Wireless Stations normally scan all Channels,
looking for an Access Point. If more than one Access Point can be used,
the one with the strongest signal is used. (This can only happen within an
ESS.)

• If using "Ad-hoc" mode (no Access Point), all Wireless stations should
be set to use the same Channel. However, most Wireless stations will
still scan all Channels to see if there is an existing "Ad-hoc" group they
can join.

Please be careful to use this product to avoid being affected by the
electromagnetic wave.

SAR standard value: 1.6 W/ Kg

EUT testing value: 0.575 W/ Kg
