FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 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 FCCRules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. Thisequipment 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. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operatethe equipment. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Industry Canada RSS-247 . 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. 5150-5250MHz is limited to use indoor only RF Exposure Information (SAR) The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levelsof radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (byheating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. This device have been tested and found tocomply with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules(<1.6W/kg). CetappareilradioestconformeauCNRͲ247d’IndustrieCanada.L’utilisationdecedispositifestautoriséeseulementauxdeuxconditionssuivantes:(1)ilnedoitpasproduiredebrouillage,et(2)l’utilisateurdudispositifdoitêtreprêtàacceptertoutbrouillageradioélectriquereçu,mêmesicebrouillageestsusceptibledecompromettrelefonctionnementdudispositif.5150Ͳ5250MHzestlimitéeàuneutilisationenintérieuruniquement
RF Exposure Information (SAR) Selon les preuves scientifiques disponibles, aucun problème de santé n’est associé à l’utilisation d’appareils sans fil de faiblepuissance. Rien ne prouve cependant que ces appareils sont absolument sans danger. Lorsqu’ils sont utilisés, les appareils sans fil de faible puissance émettent de faibles niveaux d’énergie radiofréquence (RF) dans la gamme des hyperfréquences. Bien que les niveaux élevés de radiofréquence puissant avoir un effet sur la santé (réchauffement des tissus), l’exposition à de faibles niveaux n’ayant pas d’effet thermique n’a aucun impact négatif connu sur la santé. De nombreuses études sur l’exposition aux radiofréquences de faible niveau n’ont révélé aucun effet biologique. Certaines d’entre elles ont sous-entendu qu’il pourrait y avoir de tells effets, mais leurs résultats n’ont pas été confirmés par des recherché supplémentaires. Les modele suivants ont ete testes et se sont averes conformes aux limites d’exposition aux rayonnements definies par la FCC et IC pour l’environnement non controle ;ils repondent aux regles sur l’exposition aux rayonnements RF (radiofrequence) de la FCC et a celles de la norme RSS-102 d’IC.
