undesired operation.

NOTE: This equipmenthas been tested and found to comply with the limits for a ClassB digitaldevice, 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 radiocommunications.However,t here is no guarantee that interference will not
occurin 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 tryto correct the interference by one or moreof the following measures:

- Reorientor relocate the receivingantenna.

- 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.

The installation and operationof this device shallbe in strictcompliance with the manufacturer'sinstructions for its installationand
use. Any changesin theinstallation,or modificationof the deviceor of its optionalaccessoriesthat are not expresslyapproved by
the manufacturer and the party responsiblefor compliance could void theuser's authority to operate the device.

Only those optional accessories listed in the operating manual shall be used with this device. The use of any other accessories
(including antennas)will voidthe warrantyand the user's authority to operate the device.

Themanufacturerisnot responsibleforinterferenceto otherradiosystemscausedbytheuse of this deviceor by any unauthorised
modificationto the device or its associatedantennas. The manufacturer assumes no liability for any damageor violationof
regulationsarisingfrom the use of the device.

This device is designed to be installed by professionalstrained in itsinstallation and who are responsiblefor compliance with the
relevant regulations.

This device is designed for installation in fixed locations only.

This device is not designed for direct connectionto the public switched telephone network.

NOTE: Theuse of external RF amplifiers with this device is not permitted by the regulationsof the FCC.

This unit is not a consumer productand requires professionalnetwork planningand installation.As such, this device is limited for
use with approved antennas only.

NOTE: the use of non-approved antennas, tampering with, or deviating from the approved deployment configurations is strictly

Regulatory statements pursuant to RSS-210/CNR-210 for Canada

AVIS: Le texte en françaisest au-dessus

Operation (of this device) is subject to the following two conditions:(1) this devicemay not cause interference and (2) this device
must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Toreduce the potential of
radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be chosen so that the equivalent isotropically radiated power
(EIRP)is not more than that required for successfulcommunication.

This Class B digital apparatus meets all the requirements of the Canadian Interference Causing Equipment Standard 003 (ICES-

003).

NOTE: Theuse of external RF amplifiers with this device is strictlyforbidden by the regulations of Industry Canada.

Thisdevice has been designedto operate withan optionalexternal5GHz antenna havinga maximumgain of 23.6 dBi. Operation
withantennashaving a highergain is strictly prohibited by theregulations of IndustryCanada. The required antenna impedance
is 50 ohms.

The installer of thisradioequipment must ensure that the antennais located or pointedsuchthat it does not createan RF field in
excessofHealthCanadalimitsforthegeneralpopulation;consultSafetyCode6, obtainablefrom HealthCanada'swebsitewww.hc
sc.gc.ca/rpb.

This unit is not a consumer productand requires professionalnetwork planningand installation.As such, this device is limited for
use with approved antennas only.

NOTE: the use of non-approved antennas, tampering with, or deviating from the approved deployment configurations is strictly
prohibited and could result in FCC/IC regulatory violations.

L'utilisation de ce dispositifest autorisée seulementaux conditionssuivantes : (1)il ne doitpas produirede brouillage et (2)
l'utilisateur du dispositif doit être prêt à accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique reçu, même si ce brouillageest susceptible de
compromettre le fonctionnement du dispositif.

Afinde réduirelerisqued'interférence aux autresutilisateurs,le typed'antenneet son gain doiventêtrechoisisde façon à ce que
la puissanceisotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne soitpas supérieure au niveau requis pour obtenir une communication
satisfaisante.

Cet appareil numérique respecte les limites de bruits radioélectriques applicablesaux appareils numériques de la class B prescrites
dans la norme sur le matériel brouilleur " Appareils Numériques " (NMB-003) édictée par le ministère des Communications du
Canada

ATTENTION: L'utilisation d'amplificateurs RF externes avec les dispositifsde faible puissanceest strictement interdite.

Ce dispositif a été conçu pour fonctionner avec une antenne optionnel de 5GHz ayant un gain maximal de 23.6 dB. Une antenne
ayant un gain plus élevéest strictement interdite par les règlements d'Industrie Canada. L'impédance d'antenne requise est 50
ohms.

L'installateur du présent matériel radio doit s'assurer que l'antenne est situéeou pointée de manière à ce que cette dernière
n'émette pas de champs radioélectriques supérieurs aux limites spécifiées par Santé Canada pour le grand public; consulter le
Code de sécurité 6, disponible sur le site Web de Santé Canada, à l'adresse suivante: www.hc sc.gc.ca/rpb.

Cet appareil est seulement pour usage commercial et requiert une installation professionnelle certifiée. L'usage de cet appareil est
limité aux antennes certifiées stipulées par le fabricant.

ATTENTION: L'usage d'antennes autres que stipulées par le fabricant est prohibé et peut résulter en une violation des critères
d'approbation FCC et Industrie Canada pour lequel cet appareil est homologué.

General Installation Considerations

This device has been evaluated and found to be compliant to the requirements addressing RF exposure from radio frequency
devices for an uncontrolled environment. The RF emissions of this deviceare belowthe FCC limits. However, it is nevertheless
generally advisable that radio transmitting equipment should always be installed and used in a manner so as to minimise exposure
during normal operation.

When installed in indoor or outdoor locations using approved antennas, the product shall be installed in a fixed location with a
minimum separation of 20 cm from allpersons during normal use and shall notbe used withany accessories not listed as approved
in this manual.

Wheninstalled in outdoorlocationsusingapproved external5 GHzantennas, the productshallbe installedin a fixed locationwith
a minimum separation of 30 cm from all persons during normal use and shallnot be usedwith any accessories not listedas
approved in this manual.
