Federal Communication Commission Interference St atement

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 harmf ul interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radi ate 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 enco uraged to tr y
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: 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/ Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device ma y not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operatio n.

This device is restricted to indoor use when operated in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency range.

FCC/IC Radiation Exposure Statement:

This equipment complies with FCC/ IC RSS-102 radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This
equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.

FCC LABEL OF THE END PRODUCT:
The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following " Contains TX FCC ID: RYK-WPEA121N ". The
FCC part 15.19 statement below has to also be available on the label: This device complies with Part 15 of 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.

IC LABEL OF THE END PRODUCT:
This transmitter module is authorized only for use in device where the antenna ma y be installed such that 20 cm may be
maintained between the antenna and users. The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following:
“Contains transmitter module IC: 6158A-WPEA121N”.

This radio transmitter(IC ID: 6158A-WPEA121N) has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna
types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated.
Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly
prohibited for use with this device.

WPEA-121N

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or
lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the
antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically ra diated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than
that necessary for successful communication.

This Class [B] digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe [B] est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
