Regulatory Statement

(to be included in the portable notebook PCs with WLAN radios)

1. USA—Federal Communications Commission (FCC)

FCC COMPLIANCE STATEMENT:

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.

INFORMATION TO USER:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of 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. If not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, it 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 tuning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try and correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:

-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna

-Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver.

-Connect the equipment to outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.

-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

CAUTION: (this only applicable to 5GHz device)
This device is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz
frequency range. FCC requires this product to be used indoors for frequency range 5.15
to 5.25 GHz to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile
Satellite systems.
High power radars are allocated as primary users of the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz and 5.65 to

5.85 GHz bands. These radar stations can cause interference with and/or damage this
device.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation

To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, a separation distance of at
least 20 cm must be maintained between the antenna of this device and all persons. This
device must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter within a host device, except in accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product
procedures.

Regulatory Statement

(to be included in the portable notebook PCs with WLAN radios)

If the module is installed in portable hosts, where the separation distance between
radiating elements and the user is less than 20cm, additional equipment authorization
procedure to address RF exposure compliance shall apply. If the module is installed with
other transmitting devices which can transmit simultaneously with this device and
antenna-to-antenna distance is less 20cm, assessing RF exposure compliance with
multiple transmitters within a host device shall be performed based upon FCC
requirements.

2. Canada - Industry Canada (IC)

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 this device.”
L ‘ utilisation de ce dispositif est autorisée seulement aux conditions suivantes : (1) il ne
doit pas produire de brouillage et (2) l’ utilisateur du dispositif doit étre prêt à accepter
tout brouillage radioélectrique reçu, même si ce brouillage est susceptible de
compromettre le fonctionnement du dispositif.

To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should
be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that
required for successful communication.

Caution: (this only applicable to UNII device)

This device is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz
frequency range. Industry Canada requires this product to be used indoors for frequency
range 5.15 to 5.25 GHz to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel
Mobile Satellite systems.
High power radars are allocated as primary users of the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz and 5.65 to

5.85 GHz bands. These radar stations can cause interference with and/or damage this
device.

Caution: Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation.

To comply with RSS 102 RF exposure compliance requirements, for mobile
configurations, a separation distance of at least 20 cm must be maintained between the
antenna of this device and all persons. This device must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
