Notices
FCC Notice
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules, with operation 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 unwanted operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A
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 RF 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 safety measures:
z Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
z Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
z Consult the dealer or an experienced wireless technician for help.
Use of a shielded twisted pair (STP) cable must be used for all Ethernet
connections in order to comply with EMC requirements.
RF Radiation Hazard Warning
To ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, this device must be
installed in a location where the antennas of the device will have a minimum
distance of at least 25 cm (9.84 inches) from all persons. Using higher gain
antennas and types of antennas not certified for use with this product is not
allowed. The device shall not be co-located with another transmitter.
Non-Modification Statement
Unauthorized changes or modifications to the device are not permitted. Use only
the supplied internal antenna, or external antennas supplied by the manufacturer.
Modifications to the device will void the warranty and may violate FCC
regulations. Please go to the Xirrus Web site for a list of all approved antennas.
Indoor Use
This product has been designed for indoor use. Operation of channels in the
5150MHz to 5250MHz band is permitted indoors only to reduce the potential for
harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.
Maximum Antenna Gain
Currently, the maximum antenna gain for external antennas is limited to 5.2dBi
for operation in the 2400MHz to 2483.5MHz, 5150MHz to 5250MHz and
5725MHz to 5825MHz bands. The antenna gains must not exceed maximum EIRP
limits set by the FCC / Industry Canada.
High Power Radars
High power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they have priority) in
the 5150MHz to 5250MHz and 5650MHz to 5850MHz bands. These radars could
cause interference and/or damage to LELAN devices used in Canada.
Industry Canada Notice and Marking
This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe A est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
The term “IC:” before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry
Canada technical specifications were met.
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.

France
The use of the band from 5470 MHz to 5725 MHz is not allowed in France.
The band from 5150 MHz to 5350 MHz can only be used indoors. If the
product is used outdoors, the use of any 5 GHz frequency is not allowed, and
power output is restricted in some portions of the 2.4 GHz band. Refer to the
following table or go to
L’utilisation de la bande 5470 MHz à 5725 MHz n’est pas autorisée en France. La

Italy
This product meets the National Radio Interface and the requirements
specified in the National Frequency Allocation Table for Italy. Unless this
wireless LAN product is operating within the boundaries of the owner’s
property, its use requires a “general authorization.” please check with
www.communicazioni.it/it/ for more details.
Questo prodotto é conforme alla specifiche di Interfaccia Radio Nazionali e rispetta il
Piano Nazionale di ripartizione delle frequenze in Italia. Se non viene installato
all’interno del proprio fondo, l’utilizzo di prodotti wireless LAN richiede una
“autorizzazione Generale.” Consultare www.communicazioni.it/it/ per maggiori
dettagli.
Noway, Switzerland and Liechtenstein
Although Norway, Switzerland and Liechtenstein are not EU member states,
the EU Directive 1999/5/EC has also been implemented in those countries.
Calculating the Maximum Output Power
The regulatory limits for maximum output power are specified in EIRP (radiated
power). The EIRP level of a device can be calculated by adding the gain of the
antenna used (specified in dBi) to the output power available at the connector
(specified in dBm).
Antennas
The Xirrus Wireless LAN Array family of products employs integrated antennas
that cannot be removed and which are not user accessible. Nevertheless, as
regulatory limits are not the same throughout the EU, users may need to adjust
the conducted power setting for the radio to meet the EIRP limits applicable in
their country or region. Adjustments can be made from the product’s
management interface—either Web Management Interface (WMI) or Command
Line Interface (CLI).
Operating Frequency
The operating frequency in a wireless LAN is determined by the access point. As
such, it is important that the access point is correctly configured to meet the local
regulations. See National Restrictions in this section for more information.
