Notice for customers in the U.S.A. and Canada
Federal Communications Com­mission (FCC) and Industry of Canada (IC)
Declaration of Conformity
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and RSS-Gen of IC rules.

Notices
FCC/IC RF Exposure Statement
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health prob-
Introduction
lems 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 to 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. Wireless LAN Module (2143EB) has been tested and found to comply with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled equipment 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 at FCC website.
This device should not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Notice for customers in the U.S.A.
FCC RF 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 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/television technician for help.
