Canadian Regulatory Wireless Notice

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  maycause undesired operation of the device.

To prevent radio interference to the licensed service, this device is intended to be operated indoors  and away from windows to provide maximum shielding. Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is  installed outdoors is subject to licensing.

To prevent radio interference to the licensed service (i.e. co-channel Mobile Satellite systems) this  device is intended to be operated indoors and away from windows to provide maximum shielding.  Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is installed outdoors is subject to licensing. Operation in  5150-5250 MHz is exclusively for indoor usage to reduce potential for harmful interference to  co-channel Mobile Satellite systems.

When using antennas with a gain greater than 0dBi at 5250-5350 MHz, the maximum permitted  EIRP level for this frequency may not be exceeded. Because high power radars are allocated as  primary users (meaning they have priority) in 5250-5350 MHz, these radars could cause interference  and/or damage to license exempt LAN devices.  The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such that it  does not emit RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety  Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada’s website www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb

On this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone company. If your telephone equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the Telephone Company may discontinue your service temporarily. If posible, they will be notify in advience. But if advance notice isn’t practical, you will notified as soon as possible. You will be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC. Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or

procedures that could affect proper operation of your equipment. If they do, you will be notified in advance to give you an opportunity you maintain uninterrupted telephone service. The FCC prohibits this equipment’s should fail to operate properly, disconnect the equipment from the phone line to determine if it is causing the problem. If the problem is with the equipment, discontinue use and contact your dealer or vendor.

1.2.2 FCC Class B Statement

This equipment has been tasted 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 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 interferencr by one or more of the following measures:

l Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna l increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver l Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected

l 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. 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.

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.

This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:

1) The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and users, and

2) The antenna should be integral if the end device is intended to be operated in 5.15 ~

5.25GHz frequency range. As long as 2 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.). IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC

authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID can not be used on the final
