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 the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one 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

FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

This device complies with Part 15 of the 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.

In compliance with FCC Part 15 regulations, the HiveAP automatically discontinues transmission if there is no valid information to transmit or if there is an operational failure.

Important: FCC Regulatory Warning Notices

HiveAP 110, 120, 320, 330, 340, 350, AP370, AP390, BR100 devices are restricted to indoor use due to their operation in 5 GHz frequencies, which are shared by mobile satellite systems and government radar systems. The FCC requires that these products only be used indoors to reduce the potential for harmful interference with co-channel radar that might be operating in the

5.25-5.35 or 5.47-5.725 GHz frequency ranges in the same area. The conflicting activity of radar stations and these devices can cause interference or damage to each other. In addition, these devices have a radar detection function that might interrupt normal operations when they detect a radar signal. To reduce the risk of interference even further, installing these devices away from windows is recommended.

HiveAP devices operating within the 5.15-5.25 GHz frequency range are restricted to indoor environments.

The FCC region code is set in the device during the manufacturing process, the option to set it to any region other than FCC is disabled, and the country code selection function has been completely removed from all U.S. models. It is impossible for the end user to change the region to anything other than FCC.

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 centimeters (8 inches) between the radiator and your body if using AP170 directional antenna (part number AH-ACC-170-ANT-18) the distance is 65cm. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

The availability of some specific channel and/or operational frequency bands are country dependent and are firmware programmed at the factory to match the intended destination. The firmware setting is not accessible by end user.

Only attach antennas that are certified for use with this device. Replacing antennas with unauthorized, high-gain antennas greatly increases the risk of interference and invalidates the FCC certification.

Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with IC radiation

exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between the radiator and your body, if using AP170 directional antenna (part number AH-ACC-170-ANT-18) the distance is 65cm.

For the models using “detachable Antenna”

The HiveAP 170/350 has been designed to operate with an antenna having a Dipole maximum gain 5dBi. Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (E.I.R.P) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. This radio transmitter has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device. : Dipole/5dBi

For the models supporting 5GHz frequencies Caution: The device for the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor usage to

reduce potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.

High power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they have priority) of 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz and these radars could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.

The band from 5600-5650 MHz will be disabled by the proprietary software during the manufacturing and which cannot be changed by the end user.
