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.

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.

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.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
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 minimum distance
20cm between the radiator & your body.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna
or transmitter.

This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:

1) The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained betw een the antenna and

users, and

2) The t r ansm it t er module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna.

As long as 2 conditions above are met, furt her transmitter test will not be requir ed.
However, the OEM integrator is st ill responsible for testing their end-product for any
additional compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example, digital
device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, et c. ) .

IMPORTA NT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be met (for example certain
laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is
no longer considered valid and the FCC ID can not be used on the final product. In these
circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product
(including the transmitter ) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.

End Product Labeling

This transmitter module is authorized only for use in device where the antenna may be
installed such that 20 cm may be maintained between the antenna and users (for
example :notebooks) The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the
following: “Contains TX FCC ID: NLF-MIWLGRL”.

Manual Information That Must be Included

The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how
to install or remove this RF module in the users manual of the end product which integrate
this module.

The users manual for OEM integrators must include the following infor mation in a
prominent location “ IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance
requirements, the antenna used for this transmitter m ust be installed t o pr ovide a
separation distance of at least 20 cm from all per sons and must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmit t er.

The equipment version marketed in US is restricted to usage of the channels 1- 11 only.
