FCC Statement

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.

This product has been tested and complies with the
specifications 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 according to 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 is found by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna

• Increase the separation between the equipment or
devices

• Connect the equipment to an outlet other than the
receiver’s

• Consult a dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for assistance

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.

IEEE 802.11b or 802.11g operation of this product in
the USA is firmware-limited to channels 1 through 11.

The device for the band 5150-5250 MHz is only
for indoor usage to reduce the potential for harmful
interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.

Mexico Regulatory Statement

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

Safety Notices

WARNING: Do not use this product near

water, for example, in a wet basement or near
a swimming pool.

WARNING: Avoid using this product during an

electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of
electric shock from lightning.

WARNING: This product may contain

chemicals, known to the State of California
to cause cancer, and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

Industry Canada Statement

CAN ICES-3 (B)/NMB-3 (B)
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 could automatically discontinue transmission
in case of absence of information to transmit, or
operational failure. Note that this is not intended to
prohibit transmission of control or signaling information
or the use of repetitive codes where required by the
technology.

Industry Canada Radiation Exposure
Statement

La operación de este equipo está sujeta a las siguientes
dos condiciones: (1) es posible que este equipo o
dispositivo no cause interferencia perjudicial y (2) este
equipo o dispositivo debe aceptar cualquier interferencia,
incluyendo la que pueda causar su operación no deseada.

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 25 cm between the radiator and your
body.

This equipment complies with IC radiation exposure limits
set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment
should be installed and operated with minimum distance
25 cm between the radiator & your body.

Cet appareil et son (ses) antenne (s) ne doivent pas être
situés à proximité ou fonctionner en association avec
une autre antenne ou un autre émetteur autre qu’en
respectant les procédures d’ Industrie Canada relatives
au fonctionnement des dispositifs multi-émetteurs.

Wireless Regulatory Information

Restrictions in the 5 GHz Band

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.

This device has been designed to operate with an antenna
having a maximum gain of 2.44 dBi and 3.89 dBi at 2.4
GHz and 5 GHz respectively. Antenna having a higher
gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry
Canada. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.

The maximum antenna gain (Please see the table below)
permitted (for devices in the bands 5250-5350 MHz and
5470-5725 MHz) to comply with the E.I.R.P. limit and
because high power radars are allocated as primary users
(meaning they have priority) in 5250-5350 MHz and
5650-5850 MHz, these radars could cause interference
and/or damage to license exempt LAN devices.

Additional requirements for the band 5600-5650 MHz:
Until further notice, devices subject to this Section
shall not be capable of transmitting in the band 5600­5650 MHz, so that Environment Canada weather radars
operating in this band are protected.

Avis d’Industrie Canada

CAN ICES-3 (B)/NMB-3 (B).
L’utilisation de ce dispositif est autorisée seulement aux

conditions suivantes :

1. il ne doit pas produire de brouillage et

2. il doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique
reçu, même si ce brouillage est susceptible de
compromettre le fonctionnement du dispositif.

Pour les produits disponibles sur le marché aux États­Unis et au Canada, seuls les canaux de 1 à 11 peuvent
être utilisés. La sélection d’autres canaux n’est pas
possible.

Le dispositif peut automatiquement cesser d’émettre
en cas d’absence d’informations à transmettre, ou à
cause d’une défaillance technique. Notez que l’objet
n’est pas d’interdire la transmission des informations
de contrôle ou de signalisation ou l’utilisation de
codes répétitifs lorsque requis par la technologie.

Avis d’Industrie Canada concernant
l’exposition aux radiofréquences

Ce matériel est conforme aux limites établies par IC
en matière d’exposition aux radiofréquences dans un
environnement non contrôlé. Ce matériel doit être installé
et utilisé à une distance d’au moins 25 cm entre l’antenne
et le corps de l’utilisateur.

Restrictions dans la bande 5 GHz

L’appareil pour la bande de 5150 à 5250 MHz est conçu
pour usage à l’intérieur seulement afin de réduire le
potentiel d’interférences pour les systèmes mobiles par
satellite qui utilisent le même canal.

Cet appareil a été concu pour fonctionner avec une
antenne ayant un gain maximum de 2.44 dBi et 3.89
dBi sur les bandes 2.4Ghz et 5 Ghz respectivement.
L’utilisation d’antenne ayant un gain supérieur est
strictement interdit par le règlement d’Industrie Canada.
L’impédance d’antenne requise est 50 ohms.

Le gain maximum autorisé (voir le tableau ci-dessous pour
les appareils dans les bandes 5250-5350 Mhz et 5470­5725 Mhz) pour être conforme avec la limite de P.I.R.E.
et parce que les radars de haute puissance sont les
utilisateurs primaires (c.à.d qu’ils sont prioritaires) dans
les bandes 5250-5350 Mhz et 5650-5850 Mhz, ces
radars peuvent causer des interférences et endommager
les appareils réseaux LAN n’ayant pas obtenu de license.

Autres restrictions pour la bande 5600-5650 MHz: sauf
avis contraire, les périphériques concernés par cette
section ne doivent pas être capables de transmettre
dans la bande 5600-5650 MHz afin de protéger les
radars d’Environnement Canada qui l’utilisent.

Wireless Disclaimer

The maximum performance for wireless is derived
from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual
performance can vary, including lower wireless network
capacity, data throughput rate, range and coverage.
Performance depends on many factors, conditions
and variables, including distance from the access
point, volume of network traffic, building materials and
construction, operating system used, mix of wireless
products used, interference and other adverse conditions.
