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: • In-building radiators must be installed to provide a separation distance of 20 cm from personnel, consistent with limits provided for a mobile device. • Roof-top antennas must be installed to provide a separation distance of 50cm from personnel. (Note: designated limits assume a 2-meter separation distance, the device is compliant at 50 cm.) 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.
