Notice for Customers in the U.S.A

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 WARNING

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

FCC Radio Frequency Interference Statement

Note: 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 or
more 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.

Use of 5.15-5.25GHz band

5.15-5.25GHz band is restricted to indoor operations only.

Compliance with FCC requirement 15.407(c)

Data transmission is always initiated by software, which is the passed down
through the MAC, through the digital and analog baseband, and finally to the
RF chip. Several special packets are initiated by the MAC. These are the
only ways the digital baseband portion will turn on the RF transmitter, which it
then turns off at the end of the packet. Therefore, the transmitter will be on
only while one of the aforementioned packets is being transmitted. In other
words, this device automatically discontinue transmission in case of either
absence of information to transmit or operational failure.

Co-location

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

FCC/IC RF Exposure Statement

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are
associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however,
that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power
Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the
microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce
health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not
produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many
studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some
studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such
findings have not been confirmed by additional research. WT-5A has been
tested and found to comply with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for
an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF)
Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio
frequency (RF) Exposure rules. Please refer to the SAR test report that was
uploaded to FCC website.

Compliance with IC requirement RSS-210 Annex9.4(4)

The device shall automatically discontinue transmission in case of absence of
information to transmit, or operational failure. A description on how this is done
shall accompany the application for equipment certification. Note that this is
not intended to prohibit transmission of control or signalling information or the
use of repetitive codes where required by the technology.
