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.
This device 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 radiated 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.
Changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.
Operation on the 5.15-5.25GHz frequency band is restricted to indoor use only.
The FCC requires indoor use for the 5.15-5.25GHz band to reduce the potential
for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite Systems. Therefore, it
will only transmit on the 5.25-5.35 GHz, 5.47-5.725 GHz and 5.725 –5.850 GHz
band when associated with an access point (AP).

exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1999 and had been tested in accordance
with the measurement methods and procedures specied in OET Bulletin 65
Supplement C.
This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This device was tested for operations with the device
contacted directly to the human body to the back side of the EUT. To maintain
compliance with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, avoid direct
contact to the transmitted antenna during transmitting.
IC Regulations
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s).
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

(2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi,
même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.”
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.
The device could automatically discontinue transmission in case of absence of
information to transmit, or operational failure. Note that this is not intended to
prohibit transmission of control or signaling information or the use of repetitive
codes where required by the technology.
Regulatory Information
A-3
The device for the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor usage to reduce
potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems; the
