Class B 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 or more 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:
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.
RF Radiation Exposure and Hazard Statement
To ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, this device
must be installed in a location such that the antenna of the device will
be greater than 20 cm (8 in.) away from all persons. Using higher gain
antennas and types of antennas not covered under the FCC certification
of this product is not allowed. Installers of the radio and end users of the
product must adhere to the installation instructions provided in this manual.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter.
Non-Modification Statement
Use only the supplied internal antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could damage the AP 8120-A1 and violate
FCC regulations. 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 must be operated with the CAT-5 Ethernet cable installed on
each activated Ethernet Port of an AP 8120-A1 access point to ensure
compliance with the Class B emissions standards. Failure to comply with
this installation requirement may cause the device to operate in excess of
the allowable emissions limits
Deployment Statement
This product is certified for indoor deployment only. Do not install or use
this product outdoors.
Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) in the 5.0 GHz UNII bands
The AP 8120-A1 access point has been prohibited, via software, from
operating in the 5250 to 5350 MHz and 5470 to 5725 MHz frequency
bands for the US and Canada because it cannot meet the DFS
requirements as outlined in the rules of the FCC for Part 15, Subpart E
that come into force on July 20, 2007.
