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 causes harmful interference to radio
or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment o
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by doing one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Operation on the 5.15-5.25 GHz frequency band is restricted for indoor use only.
The FCC requires indoor use for the 5.15-5.25 GHz band to reduce the potential for
harmful interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite Systems. It will only transmit
on 5.25-5.35 GHz, 5.47-5.725 GHz and 5.725-5.850 GHz bands when associated
with an access point (AP).

RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.
This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for
exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S. Government.
The exposure standard employs a unit of measurement known as the Specic
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the EUT
transmitting at the specied power level in dierent channels.
The highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC is 1.18 W/kg when
placed next to the body.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported
SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this device is on le with the FCC and can be found under the
Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID:
MSQTF502T.
IC Warning Statement
The device could automatically discontinue transmission in case of absence of
information to transmit, or operational failure. Note that this is not intended to
prohibit transmission of control or signaling information or the use of repetitive
codes where required by the technology.
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; the
maximum antenna gain permitted (for device in the bands 5250-5350 MHz and
5470-5725 MHz) to comply with the EIRP limit; and the maximum antenna gain
permitted (for devices in the band 5275-5850 MHz) to comply with the EIRP limits
specied for point-to-point and non point-to-point operation as appropriate, as
stated in section A9.2(3). In addition, high-power radars are allocated as primary
