114When using the transmitter with a wireless LAN, try the following corrective actions if the transmission rate drops, the connection is lost, or other problems occur. When using the transmitter indoors, install the wireless LAN terminal in the same room where you are shooting. Install the wireless LAN terminal higher than the transmitter. Install the device where people or objects do not come between it and the camera. Install the device as close as possible to the camera. In particular, note that during outdoor use in poor weather, rain may absorb radio waves and disrupt the connection.If the transmission rate over a wireless LAN drops because of interference from the following electronic devices, switching to a wired LAN can resolve the problem. The transmitter communicates over wireless LANs via IEEE 802.11b/g and Bluetooth using radio waves in the 2.4 GHz band. For this reason, the wireless LAN transmission rate may drop if there are nearby microwave ovens, cordless telephones, microphones, or similar devices operating on the same frequency band. If a wireless LAN terminal on the same frequency band as the transmitter is used nearby, the transmission rate of the wireless LAN may drop. If multiple transmitters are connected to a single wireless LAN terminal, be careful not to use duplicate camera IP addresses. Note that the transmission rate drops when multiple transmitters access a single wireless LAN terminal. To reduce radio wave interference when there are multiple wireless IEEE 802.11b/g devices, leave a gap of four channels between each wireless LAN channel. For example, use channels 1, 6, and 11, channels 2, 7, and 12, or channels 3, 8, and 13.When IEEE 802.11a can be used, switch to IEEE 802.11a and specify a different channel. Wireless LAN radio waves can be easily intercepted. For this reason, we recommend activating encrypted communication in the wireless LAN terminal settings.Wireless LAN NotesWireless LAN Terminal Installation and Antenna PositionNearby Electronic DevicesUsing Multiple TransmittersSecurity

126FCC / IC NoticeModel DS585782/DS585784 (including WLAN Module Model CH9-1161, FCC ID is 161)This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and RSS-Gen of IC Rules. 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 this device.Note: 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 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.The cable with the ferrite core provided with the digital camera must be used with this equipment in order to comply with Class B limits in Subpart B of Part 15 of the FCC rules.Do not make any changes or modifications to the equipment unless otherwise specified in the manual. If such changes or modifications should be made, you could be required to stop operation of the equipment.This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been con- firmed by additional research. DS585782/DS585784 has been tested and found to comply with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.Canon U.S.A Inc.One Canon Plaza, Lake Success, NY 11042, U.S.A.Tel No. (516)328-5600This class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
