Any changes or modifications made to this device that are not expressly approved by Intersil may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Intersil is not responsible for any radio or television interference caused by unauthorized modification of this device, or the substitution or attachment of connecting cables and equipment other than specified. It is the responsibility of the user to correct any interference caused by such unauthorized modification, substitution or attachment. Intersil and its authorized resellers or distributors will assume no liability for any damage or violation of government regulations arising from failing to comply with these guidelines. The use of Wireless LAN devices may be restricted in some situations or environments for example: * On board of airplanes, or * In an explosive environment, or * In case the interference risk to other devices or services is perceived or identified as harmful. In case the policy regarding the use of Wireless LAN devices in specific organizations or environments (e.g. airports, hospitals, chemical/oil/gas industrial plants, private buildings etc.) is not clear, please first verify authorization to use these devices prior to operating the equipment. 2-Regulatory information 2.1 FCC Information to User This product does not contain any user serviceable components and is to be used with approved antennas only. Any product changes or modifications will invalidate all applicable regulatory certifications and approvals 2.2 FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) for this device was measured in accordance with FCC OET Bulletin 65 (Supplement C) and guidelines established in IEEE C95.1-1991. Based on these measurements, this device fulfills the SAR limits for general population / uncontrolled exposure Caution: In order to comply with RF exposure limits established in the ANSI C95.1 standards, the user is advised to maintain a distance of at least 1.0 cm from the antenna of this device while it is in use. 2.3 FCC Electronic Emission Notices 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 2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Caution: 1--Within 5.15 to 5.25 MHz bands, UNII devices are restricted to indoor operations to reduce any potential harmfull interference to co-channel Mobile Satelite Systems (MSS) operations. 2--High power radars are allocated as primary users in the 5.25 to 5.35GHz and 5.65 to 5.85GHz bands. These high power radar stations can cause interference with and/or damage to this device.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. 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 may cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. 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 2.5 FCC labeling requirements (instruction for OEM integrator) If the FCC ID on the label of the module is not visible when the module is installed inside the host system, then the outside of the host system into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such as the following: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: OSZ39000M” or “Contains FCC ID: OSZ39000M.” Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used (reference: FCC Public Notice DA 00-1407 of June 26, 2000, source: www.fcc.gov). 2.6 Required statements in the end-user manual (instruction for OEM integrator) The statements in sections 2.1, 2.2., 2.3 and 2.4 of this manual must be included in the end-user manual. In addition to these statements the OEM integrator must clearly indicate the location of the antennas in the host system. The following photographs (on next two pages) must be included in the end-user manual in order to fully inform the end-user about the exact location of the antennas. With these statements and the explanatory photographs it is prevented that the end-user can not determine of how to maintain compliance with the requirement of the minimum separation distance of 1 cm between the antennas and his/her body.
