• Indoor use: maximum power (EIRP*) of 100 mW for the
entire 2400-2483.5 MHz frequency band;
• Outdoor use: maximum power (EIRP*) of 100 mW for the
2400-2454 MHz band and with maximum power (EIRP*) of 10
mW for the 2454-2483 MHz band.
Compliance with International Standards 91
IMPORTANT: Changes or modifications to this product not authorized could
void the EMC and wireless compliance and negate your authority to operate the
product. This product has demonstrated EMC compliance under conditions that
included the use of compliant peripheral devices and shielded cables between
system components. It is important that you use compliant peripheral devices
and shielded cables between system components to reduce the possibility of
causing interference to radios, televisions, and other electronic devices.
FCC ID: 2AUVWPB628
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 de-
vice must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
15.21 Information to the user.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to oper-
ate the equipment. 15.105 Information for the user.
Compliance with International Standards 92
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 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.
• Connecting the equipment to a socket on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
• Contact with the provider or a radio f TV technician for help.
Certification information (SAR)
The device meets guidelines for exposure to radio waves. Your
device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to
Compliance with International Standards 93
exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by
international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the
independent scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety
margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regard-
less of age and health.
The exposure guidelines for devices employ a unit of measure-
ment known as the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit
stated in the ICNIRP guidelines is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) aver-
aged over 10 grams of tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its
highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The
actual SAR level of an operating device can be below the maxi-
mum value because the device is designed to use only the power
required to reach the network.
This equipment complies with the European Council Recommen-
dation of 12 July 1999 on the Limitation of Exposure of the Gen-
eral Public to Electromagnetic Fields [1999/519/EC].
