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.
● 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.
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.
For product available in the USA/Canada market, only channel 1~11 can be operated. Selection of other
channels is not possible.
This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located with any other transmitters except in accordance
with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures.
Refering to the multi-transmitter policy, multiple-transmitter(s) and module(s) can be operated
simultaneously without C2P.
This device is going to be operated in 5.15~5.25GHz frequency range, it is restricted in indoor environment
only.

has to also be informed that any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer
could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. If the size of the end product is smaller than
8x10cm, then additional FCC part 15.19 statement is required to be available in the users manual: This
device complies with Part 15 of 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.
LABEL OF THE END PRODUCT:
The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following " Contains TX FCC ID:
RTPMRLBB1301 ". If the size of the end product is larger than 8x10cm, then the following FCC part 15.19
statement has to also be available on the label: This device complies with Part 15 of 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.

Cet appareil et son antenne (s) ne doit pas être co-localisés ou fonctionnement en association avec une
autre antenne ou transmetteur.
Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) for devices operating in the bands 5250- 5350 MHz,
5470-5600 MHz and 5650-5725 MHz
Sélection dynamique de fréquences (DFS) pour les dispositifs fonctionnant dans les bandes 5250-5350
MHz, 5470-5600 MHz et 5650-5725 MHz
The device for the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor usage to reduce potential for harmful
interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.
les dispositifs fonctionnant dans la bande 5150-5250 MHz sont réservés uniquement pour une
utilisation à l’intérieur afin de réduire les risques de brouillage préjudiciable aux systèmes de satellites
mobiles utilisant les mêmes canaux.
The maximum antenna gain permitted (for devices in the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5470-5725 MHz) to
comply with the e.i.r.p. limit.
le gain maximal d’antenne permis pour les dispositifs utilisant les bandes 5250-5350 MHz et
5470-5725 MHz doit se conformer à la limite de p.i.r.e.;
Users should also be advised that high-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e. priority
users) of the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz and that these radars could cause interference
and/or damage to LE-LAN devices
De plus, les utilisateurs devraient aussi être avisés que les utilisateurs de radars de haute puissance sont
désignés utilisateurs principaux (c.-à-d., qu’ils ont la priorité) pour les bandes 5250-5350 MHz et 56505850 MHz et que ces radars pourraient causer du brouillage et/ou des dommages aux dispositifs LAN-EL.

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and
maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio
interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent
isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne
d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire
les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain
de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement
d'une communication satisfaisante.
This radio transmitter (identify the device by certification number, or model number if Category II) has been
approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the 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.
Le présent émetteur radio (identifier le dispositif par son numéro de certification ou son numéro de modèle
s'il fait partie du matériel de catégorie I) a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les
types d'antenne énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l'impédance requise pour
chaque type d'antenne. Les types d'antenne non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au
