Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement

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 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, (example - use only shielded

interface cables when connecting to computer or peripheral devices) any

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:

This equipment complies with FCC 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.

"This device supports FCC Part 15, subpart E dynamic frequency selection

(DFS)." "For the band 5150–5350 MHz this equipment must be used indoors only

to reduce potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile

satellite systems."

“This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below,

and having a maximum gain of 1.82 dB. Antennas not included in this list or

having a gain greater than 1.82 dB are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.＂ “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 the device.＂

The information is as follows:

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

Cet appareil num?rique de la classe B est conforme ? la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

-the maximum antenna gain permitted (for devices in the 5250-5350 MHz

and 5470-5725 MHz bands) to comply with the e.i.r.p. limit.

- the maximum antenna gain permitted (for devices in the 5725-5825 MHz

band) to comply with the e.i.r.p. limits specified for point-to-point

and non point-to-point operation as appropriate, as stated in section

A9.2(3)

- users should also be cautioned to take note that high power radars are

allocated as primary users (meaning they have priority) of 5250-5350 MHz

and 5650-5850 MHz and these radars could cause interference and/or damage

to LE-LAN devices.
