Notice for Customers in the U.S.A. and Canada
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Industry Canada’s licenceexempt RSSs. 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.
Nikon WT-6A
FCC ID: CGJ1152EA
IC: 4634A-1152EA
FCC CAUTION
1. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
2. The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications
made to this device that are not expressly approved by Nikon Corporation
may 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.
Notes on 5GHz band use
1. 5.15-5.25GHz band is restricted to indoor operations only.
2. High-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e. priority users) of the
bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz and that these radars could
cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.
viii
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.
Compliance with IC(RSS-210§A9.4.4)
Compliance with IC requirement RSS-210 A9.4.4 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-6A has been tested and found to
comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines.
