FCC Compliance and RF Exposure Information

This product is certified by the FCC as compliant with CFR.47 Part 90. Changes or

modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user's authority

to operate the equipment.

To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, antennas that are mounted externally at

remote locations or operating near users at stand-alone desktop of similar configurations

must operate with a minimum separation distance of 15 cm from all persons.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A

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. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause

harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at

his own expense.
