This device complies with Part 15 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.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of a Class B digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a residential environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and radiates radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to correct the interference by one of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician.

The following CE mark is affixed to Cisco wireless products with a 2.4 GHz radio:
Note This equipment is intended to be used in all EU and EFTA countries. Outdoor use may be restricted to
certain frequencies and/or may require a license for operation. For more details, contact Cisco Corporate
Compliance.
Note Combinations of power levels and antennas resulting in a radiated power level above 100 mW equivalent
isotropic radiated power (EIRP) are considered as not compliant with the above mentioned directive and
are not allowed for use within the European community and other countries that have adopted the
European R&TTE directive 1999/5/EC or the CEPT recommendation Rec 70.03 or both.
5 GHz Radio
For 5 GHz radios, the following standards were applied:
• Radio: EN 301.893
• EMC: EN 301.489-1, EN 301.489-17
• Safety: EN 60950
The following standards were applied during the assessment of the product against the requirements of
the Directive 1999/5/EC:
• Radio: EN 301 893 and EN 300 328
• EMC: EN 301 489-1 and EN 301 489-17
• Safety: EN 60950 and EN 50371
Note The equipment, when operating in the 5-GHz frequency range, has no Dynamic Frequency Selection
(DFS) feature related to radar detection built in. However, the equipment is equipped with a feature that,
when enabled, results in a random selection of the operating frequency when powered on.
Note In order to meet the Transmit Power Control (TPC) requirement, the equipment has different
user-selectable power levels. Devices should always be configured to the lowest possible power level.
See the “Changing Output Power” section on page 9 for instructions on how to change the output power
settings.

National Restrictions
The 2.400- to 2483.5-MHz band is available in all EU member states for indoor as well as outdoor usage.
In the majority of the countries, the maximum power allowed is 100 mW eirp.
With regard to operation in the 5-GHz bands, these products meet the requirements as specified in the
Guidance Document produced by the CEPT/ECC WG FM for ‘Interim Arrangements for 5-GHz
Wireless LANs’ (September 2002). The equipment can operate in either band (5150- to 5250-MHz or
5150- to 5350-Mhz) and is intended to be placed on the market only in those countries that have a
permanent or interim regulation in place by which the equipment without DFS (radar detection) is
allowed to operate in part of the 5-GHz frequency band and if applicable, at a reduced output power
level.
For all countries, the operation in the 5-GHz bands (5150- to 5350-MHz) is restricted to indoor use only.
Table 2 contains an overview of the countries in which the product is intended to be placed on the market
together with the applicable frequency band and the maximum allowed power (eirp).

Note Although Norway, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein are not EU member states, the EU Directive
1999/5/EC has also been implemented in those countries.
Note The regulatory limits for maximum output power are specified in eirp. 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).
Products with External Antennas
Cisco wireless access routers or AP HWICs can be shipped with external antennas. Tab le 3 lists the
antennas that were assessed together with the equipment against the requirements of the R&TTE
directive. Depending on the country, a different regulatory limit might be applicable. It is therefore the
responsibility of the end user to select a power level that, together with the antenna, results in an eirp
level that is below the applicable limit.
The maximum conducted power setting for each of the antennas and the applicable regulatory limits is
provided in Tab l e 3. See the “National Restrictions” section on page 7 to identify the regulatory limit in
your country.

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 the “National Restrictions”
section on page 7 for country specific operating frequency ranges.
Changing Output Power
Connect your PC to the Ethernet port of the wireless access router or host platform of the AP HWIC and
follow these steps to change the output power to meet the local regulations.
Note For detailed information on how to connect your PC to the router, see the appropriate hardware
installation guide or quick start guide.
Step 1 Open your Internet browser. You must use Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 5.x or later) or Netscape
Navigator (version 4.x or later).
Step 2 Enter the access point’s IP address in the browser address line and press Enter. An Enter Network
Password screen appears.
Step 3 Enter the username and password and press Enter. The Summary Status page appears.

Declaration of Conformity for RF Exposure
The radio module has been found to be compliant to the requirements set forth in CFR 47 Sections
2.1091, and 15.247 (b) (4) addressing RF Exposure from radio frequency devices as defined in
Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic
Fields. For all approved antennas the equipment should be installed at least 20cm (7.9 in.) from your
body or nearby persons.
The wireless product must be installed to maintain a minimum 20 cm (7.9 in.) co-located separation
distance from other FCC approved indoor/outdoor antennas used with the access point. Any antennas or
transmitters not approved by the FCC cannot be co-located with the access point antennas. The
co-located 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz antennas support a minimum separation distance of 10 cm (3.9 in.) and
are compliant with the applicable FCC RF exposure limit when transmitting simultaneously.
Note Dual antennas used for diversity operation are not considered co-located.

Administrative Rules for Low-power Radio-Frequency Devices
Article 12
For those low-power radio-frequency devices that have already received a type-approval, companies,
business units or users should not change its frequencies, increase its power or change its original
features and functions.
Article 14
The operation of the low-power radio-frequency devices is subject to the conditions that no harmful
interference is caused to aviation safety and authorized radio station; and if interference is caused, the
user must stop operating the device immediately and can't re-operate it until the harmful interference is
clear.
The authorized radio station means a radio-communication service operating in accordance with the
Communication Act.
The operation of the low-power radio-frequency devices is subject to the interference caused by the
operation of an authorized radio station, by another intentional or unintentional radiator, by industrial,
scientific and medical (ISM) equipment, or by an incidental radiator.
