Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
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.
For operation within 5.15 ~ 5.25GHz frequency range, it is restricted to indoor environment.
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.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. End users must follow the specific operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure
compliance. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, please
follow operation instruction as documented in this manual.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
SAR compliance has been established in typical laptop computer(s) with USB slot, and product
could be used in typical laptop computer with USB slot. Other application like handheld PC or
similar device has not been verified and may not compliance with related RF exposure rule and such
use shall be prohibited.
Industry Canada Statement
This device complies with RSS-210 of the Industry Canada Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
1) this device may not cause interference and
2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device
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.
2
Because high power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they have priority) in
5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz, these radars could cause interference and/or damage to
license exempt LAN devices.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
IC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
End users must follow the specific operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. To
maintain compliance with IC RF exposure compliance requirements, please follow operation
instruction as documented in this manual.

Cautions Cautions on security when using wireless LAN products
With a wireless LAN, radio waves are used instead of LAN cables for the
exchange of data between the wireless access points (computers, etc.),
offering the advantage that LAN connections can be made freely within
the range of the radio waves.
On the other hand, the radio waves reach all points within this range,
regardless of walls or other obstacles, possibly resulting in the problems
described below if the proper security measures are not taken.
•••• Contents of transmissions may be intercepted
Malicious third parties may purposely intercept the radio waves and
steal information contained in the transmissions, including such
personal information as ID numbers, passwords, credit card numbers,
e-mail messages, etc.
•••• Improper intrusions
Malicious third parties may without permission access the personal or
company network and steal personal or confidential information,
pretend to be someone else and leak incorrect information, rewrite
information that has been intercepted, introduce computer viruses or
otherwise damage data or the system, etc.
Wireless LAN cards and wireless access points generally include security
measures for dealing with these problems. Making the proper security
settings before using the products can reduce the risk of such problems
arising.
We recommend that you fully understand the problems that can arise
when using the products without making the security settings, then that
you make the security settings based on your own decision and at your
own discretion.
