WLI-UTX-AG300 User Manual 51Appendix F - Regulatory Compliance InformationFederal Communication Commission Interference StatementThis 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 o 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 dierent from that to which the receiver is connected.•   Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.FCC Caution:Any changes or modications 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. 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.For operation within 5.15 ~ 5.25GHz / 5.47 ~5.725GHz frequency range, it is restricted to indoor environment. The band from 5600-5650MHz will be disabled by the software during the manufacturing and cannot be changed by the end user. This device meets all the other requirements specied in Part 15E, Section 15.407 of the FCC Rules.Important Note  -  FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:The product complies with the US portable RF exposure limit set forth for an uncontrolled environment and are safe for intended operation as described in this manual. The further RF exposure reduction can be achieved if the product can be kept as far as possible from the user body or set the device to lower output power if such function is available.This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
WLI-UTX-AG300 User Manual 52Appendix F  Regulatory Compliance InformationThe USB dongle transmitter is approved for use in typical laptop computers.  To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, it should not be used in other devices or certain laptop and tablet computer congurations where the USB connectors on the host computer are unable to provide or ensure the necessary operating congurations intended for the device and its users or bystanders to satisfy RF exposure compliance requirements.   The availability of some specic channels and/or operational frequency bands are country dependent and are rmware programmed at the factory to match the intended destination. The rmware setting is not accessible by the end user.Industry Canada statement:This device complies with RSS-210 of the Industry Canada 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.Important Note - Radiation Exposure Statement:The product complies with the Canada portable RF exposure limit set forth for an uncontrolled environment and are safe for intended operation as described in this manual. The further RF exposure reduction can be achieved if the product can be kept as far as possible from the user body or set the device to lower output power if such function is available.Caution :(i) the device for operation in the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor use to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems;(ii) the maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5470-5725 MHz shall comply with the e.i.r.p. limit; and(iii) the maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the band 5725-5825 MHz shall comply with the e.i.r.p. limits specied for point-to-point and non point-to-point operation as appropriate.(iv) Users should also be advised that high-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e. priority users) of the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz and that these radars could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.Ce dispositif est conforme à la norme CNR-210 d’Industrie Canada applicable aux appareils radio exempts de licence. Son fonctionnement est sujet aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) le dispositif ne doit pas produire de brouillage préjudiciable, et (2) ce dispositif doit accepter tout brouillage reçu, y compris un brouillage susceptible de provoquer un fonctionnement indésirable.
