FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION RADIO FREQUENCY
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 energ y
and if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual 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 o f 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

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. To maintain compliance with FCC RF
exposure compliance requirements, please avoid direct contact to
the transmitting antenna during transmitting.

If this device is going to be operated in 5.15 ~ 5.25GHz frequency
range, then it is restricted in indoor environment only.

This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter.

We declares that this product (FCC ID: SA6P60BIABG) is limited in
2412~2462MHz by specified firmware controlled in the USA.

^ To remain in conformance with Europea n spectrum usage

laws for Wireless LAN operation, the user should check the
current channel of operation. If operation is occurring outside
of the allowable frequencies as listed above, the user must
cease operating at that location and consult the local
technical support staff responsible for the wireless netwo rk.

^ The 5GHz Turbo mode feature is not allowed for operation in

any European Community country

^ This device must not be operated in ad-hoc mode using

channels in the 5GHz bands in the European Community.
Ad-hoc mode provides a direct communication between two
client devices without a Wireless LAN Access Point.

v

^ This device must be used with Access Points that have

employed and activated a radar detection feature required
for European Community operation in the 5GHz bands. This
device will operate under the control of the Access Point in
order to avoid operating on a channel occupied by any radar
system in the area. The presence of nearby radar operation
may result in temporary interruption in communications of
this device. The Access Point’s radar detection feature will
automatically restart operation on a channel free of radar.
You may consult with the local technical support staff
responsible for the wireless network to ensure the Access
Point device(s) are properly configured for European
Community operation.

Notice:

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to

THINGS YOU MUST REMEMBER BEFORE WORKING ON YOUR

COMPUTER

L

ET YOUR COMPUTER ACCLIMATE ITSELF

Your computer can easily stand temperature extremes but it
doesn’t like rapid changes in temperature, like going from the cold
outdoors to a warm office. Rapid changes in temperature can
cause water droplets to condense inside your case, threatening to
damage the electronic parts inside.

After receiving your computer when it’s hot or cold outside, try not
to power up the computer immediately, let the computer adjust to
the room temperature gradually at least for three to four hours.

If your system arrives in cold weather, do not apply
power to the computer or monitor until they have been allowed to
come to room temperature.

SUITABLE PLACE TO WORK

Your computer will run well wherever you’re comfortable but
extremes of temperature and humidity can be challenging to your
system’s parts. There are some things you can tolerate that the
computer can’t – things like static electricity, dust, water, steam
and oil. In case you decide to pull over for roadside computing, try
to choose a clean, comfortable work area for your system.
