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.

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.

System integrators must include the FCC ID on the end product.

1. Antennas must be installed in the display section of Netbook/notebook/laptop
computer to provide at least 20cm separation distance from the transmitting antenna to
the body of user during normal operating condition.

2. Transmitting antenna(s) can only be installed at the display section of computer. When
this device is installed other than notebook computers, at least 20 cm separation distance
shall be maintained between the transmitting antenna(s) to the body of user or nearby
person.

3. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be collocated or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter within a host device, except in
accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures.

4. Only those antennas with same type and lesser gain filed under this FCC ID number
can be used with this device.

5. The regulatory label on the final system must include the statement: “Contains FCC
