FCC/IC RF Exposure Statement
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
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.
COOLPIX AW110, which is equipped with a DW092 (FCC ID:EW4DW092 / IC
ID:4634A-3149EC) Wireless LAN Module, 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.
Declaration of Conformity
Hereby, Nikon Corporation, declares that this Wireless LAN Module (DW092) is in
compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of
Directive 1999/5/EC. The declaration of conformity may be consulted at http://
