FEDERAL COMMUNICATION COMMISSION INTERFERENCE STATEMENT

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.

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

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• 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.

FCC STATEMENT

For product available in the USA/Canada market, only channel 1-11 can be
operated. Selection of other channels is not possible.

Operation on the 5150-5250 MHz and 5 250-5350 MHz WiFi radios is restric ted
to indoor use only.

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 of 20 cm between the radiator and your body.

This device and its antennas(s) must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter except in accordance
with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures.

To comply with FCC regulations and human exposure to RF radiation, the
maximum cellular antenna gain must not exceed 1dBi (619-970MHz) and 2
dBi for channel operating higher than 1G.

INDUSTRY CANADA STATEMENT

This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standards.
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 the device.

For product available in the USA/Canada market, only channel 1-11 can be
operated. Selection of other channels is not possible.

The device for the band 5150-5350 MHz is only for indoor usage to reduce
potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.

maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each
antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain
greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly
prohibited for use with this device.

These devices have been designed to operate with cellular antennas having a
maximum gain of 1dBi in 619-970MHz band and maximum gain of 2 dBi for all
other operation in higher than 1G bands. Antennas having a higher gain are
strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada. The required antenna
impedance is 50 ohms.

for devices with detachable antenna(s), the maximum antenna gain permitted
for devices in the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5470-5725 MHz shall be such that
the equipment still complies with the e.i.r.p. limit;

for devices with detachable antenna(s), the maximum antenna gain permitted
for devices in the band 5725-5850 MHz shall be such that the equipment still

mplies with the e.i.r.p. limits as appropriate; and

co

This device and its antennas(s) must not be co-located o r operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter except in accordance
with IC multi-transmitter product procedures.

SAFETY AND HAZARDS

Caution!! Read following instruction before use.
Only use with original Cradlepoint accessories. Cradlepoint external power
adapters are specially designed to operate properly with this device and
supply proper PoE output.
When this device is used with a Cradlepoint accessory power adapter rated
65W output, it can support 4 ports PoE up to 30W total power.
When this device is used with a Cradlepoint accessory power adapter rated
120W output, it can support 4 ports PoE up to 60W total power.

Under no circumstances should the device be used in any areas
(a) where blasting is in progress,
(b) where explosive atmospheres may be present, or
(c) that are near (i) medical or life support equipment, or (ii) any
equipment which may be susceptible to any form of radio interference.
In such areas, the device MUST BE POWERED OFF AT ALL TIMES (since the
device otherwise could transmit signals that might interfere with such
equipment).

In addition, under no circumstances should the device be used in any
aircraft, regardless of whether the aircraft is on the ground or in flight. In
any aircraft, the device MUST BE POWERED OFF AT ALL TIMES since the
device otherwise could transmit signals that might interfere with various
onboard systems on such aircraft. Furthermore, under no circumstances
should the device be used by the driver or operator of any vehicle. Such use
of the device will detract from the driver’s or operator’s control of that
vehicle. In some jurisdictions, use of the device while driving or operating a
vehicle constitutes a civil and/or criminal offense.

Due to the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception
of data by the device can never be guaranteed, and it is possible that data
communicated or transmitted wirelessly may be delayed, corrupted (i.e.,
contain errors), or totally lost. The device is not intended for, and
Cradlepoint recommends the device not be used in any critical applications
where failure to transmit or receive data could result in property damage or
loss or personal injury of any kind (including death) to the user or to any
other party.
Cradlepoint expressly disclaims liability for damages of any kind resulting
from:
(a) delays, errors, or losses of any data transmitted or received using the
device; or
(b) any failure of the device to transmit or receive such data.

For proper and safe vehicle installations, the GPIO accessory cable must be
connected to a fused circuit in the vehicle. This fused circuit requires a 1.5A
fuse. If the supply connection is made directly to the battery, the fuse
should be installed in the positive lead. For North America, a UL Listed fuse
is to be used.

Warning: This product is only to be installed by qualified personnel.

Purchaser agrees to indemnify Cradlepoint against any liability or damages
caused to third parties as a result of Purchaser’s misuse or misapplication of
the Cradlepoint product.
