Regulatory Information
CAUTION: Changes or modifications made to this device which are not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation.
The radiated output power of the IEEE 802.11 RoamAbout PC Card is far below the FCC radio frequency
exposure limits. Nevertheless, the RoamAbout PC Card shall be used in such a manner that the potential for
human contact during normal operation is minimized. When using this device in combination with RoamAbout
Outdoor Antenna products, a certain separation distance between antenna and nearby persons has to be kept to
ensure RF exposure compliance. Refer to the Regulatory Statements as identified in the documentation that comes
with those products for additional information.
Interference Statement.
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. If not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, it 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 distance between the equipment and the receiver.
Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
