Federal Communication Commission 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 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 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 Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
For operation within 5.15 ~ 5.25GHz frequency range, it is restricted to indoor
environment, and the antenna of this device must be integral.
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.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment.
This device complies with FCC RF Exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment, under 47 CFR 2.1093 paragraph (d)(2).
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
This equipment has been SAR-evaluated for use in laptops (notebooks) with side slot
configuration.
Maximum average SAR(1g) for 802.11b is 0.845 W/Kg.
Maximum average SAR(1g) for 802.11g is 0.522 W/Kg.
Maximum average SAR(1g) for 802.11a is 0.974 W/Kg.
IC Statement
The device is certified to the requirements of RSS-210 for 2.4 GHz
spread spectrum devices. To prevent radio interference to the licensed
service (i.e. co-channel Mobile Satellite systems) this device is intended to
be operated indoors and away from windows to provide maximum shielding.
Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is installed outdoors is subject to
licensing.
Because high power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they
have priority) in 5250-5350 MHz, these radars could cause interference
and/or damage to license exempt LAN devices.
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 the device.
