15.19(a)(3):
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.
15.105(b):
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
15.21
Changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.
FCC & SAR
RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission
limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. The exposure
standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as
the Specic Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit adopted by the FCC
is 1.6W/kg for an uncontrolled environment. Tests for SAR are conducted
using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the device
transmitting at its highest certied power level in all tested frequency bands.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the
actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the
maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple
power levels so as to use only the poser required to reach the network. In
general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the
power output.
