FCC Regulations:
§ 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.
§ 15.21
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.
§ 15.105 (b)
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.
FCC RF Exposure Compliance (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 Specific 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 certified 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.
