Federal Communication Commission Interference State-

ment

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.

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.

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.

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.

Preface

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

1) The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained be­tween the antenna and users, and

2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other
transmitter or antenna.

As long as 2 conditions above are met, further transmitter

test will
not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible
for testing their end-product for any additional compliance re­quirements required with this module installed (for example,
digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).

IMPORTANT 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 access points, routers,
wireless ADSL modems, and similar equipment). The final end
product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Con­tains TX FCC ID: O6M-WM253”.
