THE FOLLOWING APPLIES ONLY IN THE U.S.A. FCC 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. FCC Caution: To assure continued compliance, follow the attached
installation instructions and use only shielded interface cables when connecting to peripheral devices.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
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.

Precautions of Wireless LAN Adaptor
The following limits are in place regarding the usage of this device. You must be aware of these limits before using this device. Panasonic will in no way be responsible for any incidental damage which may arise due to a failure to obey these limits, or to any condition of use or disuse of this device.
This device is to be used as a wireless LAN device.Do not use this device to connect to any wireless network for which
you do not have usage rights.
During automatic searches in a wireless network environment, wireless net­works (SSID*) for which you do not have usage rights may be displayed; how­ever, using these networks may be regarded as illegal access. * An SSID (Service Set IDentification) is a name used by wireless LAN to
identify a particular network. Transmission is possible if the SSID matches for both devices.
Data transmitted and received over radio waves may be intercepted
and monitored.
This wireless LAN adaptor contains delicate electronic components.
Please use this adaptor in the manner in which it was intended and follow the following points: – Do not expose the adaptor to high temperatures or direct sunlight. – Do not bend, or subject the adaptor to strong impacts. – Keep the adaptor away from moisture. – Do not disassemble or alter the adaptor in any way. – Do not attempt to install the adaptor in any incompatible device.

THE FOLLOWING APPLIES IN THE U.S.A. AND CANADA.
AC power supply cord (included)
To a household AC outlet
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and RSS-Gen of IC Rules. 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 this device.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
This product is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to
5.25 GHz frequency range. FCC and IC require this product to be used indoors for the frequency range 5.15 to 5.25 GHz to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite systems. High power radars are allocated as primary users of the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz and 5.65 to 5.85 GHz bands. These radar stations can cause interference with and/or damage this product.
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 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 adaptor (DY-WL10) 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.
THE FOLLOWING APPLIES ONLY IN THE U.S.A. FCC 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.
FCC caution: To maintain compliance with FCC regulations, shielded interface cables must be used with this equipment. Operation with non-approved equipment or unshielded cables may result in interference to radio and TV reception. Any changes or modifications not approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
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.
