networking support. The information is associated with
You only when You provide a unique ID number to the
support representative while You are receiving help. The
unique ID is generated randomly on Your computer upon
installation and is completely under Your control.
EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR IN THIS
AGREEMENT, CISCO HAS NO OBLIGATION OF
CONFIDENTIALITY OR (EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED
BY THE APPLICABLE DATA PROTECTION LAWS) PRIVACY OF
ANY COMMUNICATION OR INFORMATION TRANSMITTED
USING THE TECHNOLOGY. Cisco will not be liable for the
privacy of e-mail addresses, registration and identification
information, disk space, communications, confidential
or trade-secret information stored on equipment,
transmitted over networks accessed by the Technology,
or otherwise connected with Your use of the Technology.
Your use of Your Cisco Product and/or the Technology
constitutes consent by You to Cisco’s and/or its affiliates’
collection and use of such information and, for Canadian
or European Economic Area (EEA) customers, to the
transfer of such information to a location outside
Canada or the EEA. Any information collected by Your
Cisco Product and/or the Software is done and utilized
in accordance with our Privacy Policy available at
http://www.myciscohome.com/privacy. Your election
to use the Cisco Product and/or Technology indicates Your
acceptance and consent to Cisco’s use of Your personal
data in accordance with the terms of the Cisco Privacy
Policy, so please review the policy carefully and check the
web site above to review updates to it.
Support; Equipment. This Agreement does not entitle
You to any support, upgrades, patches, enhancements,
or fixes (collectively, “Support”) for the Technology. Any
such Support for the Technology that may be made
available by Cisco, in its sole discretion, shall become
part of the Technology and subject to this Agreement.
You shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining
any equipment or ancillary services needed to connect
to, access, or otherwise use the Technology, including,
without limitation, modems, hardware, software, and
long distance or local telephone service. You shall be
responsible for ensuring that such equipment or ancillary
services are compatible with the Technology.
Software Upgrades etc. If the Software enables You to
receive Upgrades, You may elect at any time to receive
these Upgrades either automatically or manually. If You
elect to receive Upgrades manually or You otherwise
elect not to receive or be notified of any Upgrades, You
may expose Your Cisco Product and/or the Software to
serious security threats and/or some features within Your
Cisco Product and/or Software may become inaccessible.
There may be circumstances where we apply an Upgrade
automatically in order to comply with changes in
legislation, legal, security or regulatory requirements or
as a result of requirements to comply with the terms of
any agreements Cisco has with any third parties regarding
Your Cisco Product and/or the Software. You will always
be notified of any Upgrades being delivered to You. The
terms of this license will apply to any such Upgrade unless
the Upgrade in question is accompanied by a separate
license, in which event the terms of that license will apply.
Termination, Modification and/or Suspension. You may
terminate this Agreement and/or Your use of any Service
at any time by destroying all copies of the Software and
Documentation and/or ceasing your use of the Service (as
applicable). You agree that Cisco may, at its sole discretion
and for any reason, immediately modify, suspend or
discontinue Your use of the Software and/or any Service
at any time without liability to Cisco provided that in
such cases we will use reasonable efforts to give You prior
notice. You agree that Cisco may, at its sole discretion,
without prior notice and without liability to Cisco,
terminate Your use of the Software, Your access to any
Services and/or block Your future access to any Services
if. we are required to do so by any court of competent
jurisdiction or government authority in any country.
In the event that this Agreement terminates for any reason,
the license(s) granted to You will automatically terminate,
at which time You must immediately (i) stop using the
Technology and the Cisco Product in which the Software
is embedded, and (ii) uninstall the Software and destroy
all copies of the Software and Documentation where the
Technology is purchased separately and (iii) stop using
or accessing any Services. All other rights of both parties
and all other provisions of this Agreement will survive this
termination.
Limited Warranty. Cisco warrants that any media on
which the Software may be provided will be free from
defects in materials and workmanship under normal use
for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of original
purchase. Your exclusive remedy and Cisco’s entire liability
under this limited warranty will be for Cisco, at its option,
to (a) replace the Software media, or (b) refund the
purchase price of the Software media.
Australia and New Zealand Warranty. Part V of the Trade
Practices Act (1974) (C’th of Australia), corresponding
Linksys AE1200/AE2500 Software End User License Agreement
11
High Performance Wireless-N USB Adapter
consumer protection provisions of Australian State
and Territory legislation and the Consumer Guarantees
Act 1993 (New Zealand) (together, “Applicable Laws”)
imply terms and warranties which operate to protect
certain Australian and New Zealand purchasers of goods
and services in various circumstances. Nothing in this
Agreement excludes, restricts or modifies any condition,
warranty, right or remedy implied or imposed by any
Applicable Laws which cannot lawfully be excluded,
restricted or modified. If any condition or warranty is
implied into this Agreement under Applicable Laws and
cannot be excluded but the parties are permitted by an
Applicable Law to limit Cisco’s remedy for a breach of
such a condition or warranty, then the liability of Cisco
for breach of the condition or warranty is limited to one
or more of the following, at Cisco’s option: (a) in the case
of goods, the replacement of the goods or the supply of
equivalent goods, the repair of the goods, the payment of
the cost of replacing the goods or of acquiring equivalent
goods, or the payment of the cost of having the goods
repaired; or (b) in the case of services, the supplying of the
services again, or the payment of the cost of having the
services supplied again.
EXCEPT FOR THE WRITTEN LIMITED WARRANTY ON MEDIA
SET FORTH ABOVE AND THE WARRANTY PROVIDED IN
YOUR CISCO PRODUCT PACKAGING WITH THE PURCHASE
OF THE RELEVANT CISCO PRODUCT AND TO THE MAXIMUM
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SOFTWARE
AND SERVICES PROVIDED BY CISCO ARE PROVIDED “AS
IS” WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
KIND. Without limiting the foregoing, Cisco does not
warrant that the operation of the Product, Software or
Services will be uninterrupted, bug free or error free. Also,
due to the continual development of new techniques for
intruding upon and attacking networks, Cisco does not
warrant that the Product, Software or Services, or any
equipment, system or network on which the Product,
Software or Services are used will be free of vulnerability
to intrusion or attack. The Product may include or be
bundled with third party software or service offerings.
This limited warranty shall not apply to such third party
software or service offerings. This limited warranty does
not guarantee any continued availability of a third party’s
service for which this Product’s use or operation may
require.
CISCO DOES NOT AND CANNOT WARRANT THE RESULTS
YOU MAY OBTAIN BY USING THE TECHNOLOGY. THIS
SECTION CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE
AGREEMENT, AND THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMERS ALSO
APPLY WITH RESPECT TO CISCO, THEIR DISTRIBUTORS,
CONTRACTORS AND AGENTS. Further, Cisco has no
special relationship with or fiduciary duty to You. You
acknowledge that Cisco has no control over, and no duty
to take any action regarding: which users gain access to
the Technology. The Technology may contain, or enable
You to access, information that some people may find
offensive or inappropriate. Cisco makes no representations
concerning any content contained in or accessed through
the Technology, and Cisco will not be responsible or
liable for the accuracy, copyright compliance, legality or
decency of material contained in or accessed through the
Technology.
TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS
OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY,
NONINFRINGEMENT OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE ARE LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THE
WARRANTY PERIOD. ALL OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED
CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
ARE DISCLAIMED. SOME COUNTRIES, STATES AND/OR
PROVINCES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION
OF CERTAIN CONDITIONS OR WARRANTIES INCLUDING,
FOR EXAMPLE, THE EXCLUSION OF WARRANTIES OF
REASONABLE SKILL AND CARE. ACCORDINGLY, ONLY
THOSE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS THAT ARE LAWFUL
IN YOUR JURISDICTION WILL APPLY TO YOU AND, IN SUCH
INSTANCES, CISCO’S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED ONLY TO
THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. This limited
warranty gives You specific legal rights, and You may also
have other rights which vary by jurisdiction.
Disclaimer of Liabilities. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED
BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL CISCO BE LIABLE
FOR ANY LOST OR DAMAGED DATA, REVENUE OR PROFIT,
LOSS OF ABILITY TO USE ANY THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS,
SOFTWARE OR SERVICES, OR FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT,
CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES,
REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING
NEGLIGENCE), ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE
USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE PRODUCT, SOFTWARE
OR ANY SERVICES PROVIDED IN RESPECT OF SUCH
PRODUCT, SOFTWARE OR SERVICE, EVEN IF CISCO HAS
BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW,
IN NO EVENT WILL CISCO’S LIABILITY EXCEED THE
AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR THE PRODUCT. IF YOU LIVE
IN THE EUROPEAN UNION, REFERENCES TO “SPECIAL,
INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL
DAMAGES” SHALL MEAN ANY LOSSES WHICH (i) WERE
NOT REASONABLY FORESEEABLE BY BOTH PARTIES, AND/
OR (ii) WERE KNOWN TO YOU BUT NOT TO US AND/OR (iii)
WERE REASONABLY FORESEEABLE BY BOTH PARTIES BUT
COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED BY YOU SUCH AS, FOR
EXAMPLE (BUT WITHOUT LIMITATION), LOSSES CAUSED
BY VIRUSES, TROJANS OR OTHER MALICIOUS PROGRAMS,
OR LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO YOUR DATA. THE FOREGOING
LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY WITH RESPECT TO CISCO, ITS
DISTRIBUTORS, CONTRACTORS, AND AGENTS AND EVEN
IF ANY WARRANTY OR REMEDY PROVIDED UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. NOTHING
IN THIS SECTION SHALL LIMIT THE LIABILITY OF CISCO
OR ITS DISTRIBUTORS, CONTRACTORS OR AGENTS IN
RELATION TO DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURIES CAUSED BY
THEIR NEGLIGENCE. IN ADDITION, THESE LIMITATIONS
SHALL NOT APPLY TO (I) A PARTY’S LIABILITY FOR
Linksys AE1200/AE2500 Software End User License Agreement
12
High Performance Wireless-N USB Adapter
FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION; AND (II) A PARTY’S
LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TERMS IN RESPECT
OF WHICH LIABILITY CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED
UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
Indemnity. You agree that Cisco and its distributors,
partners, contractors and agents shall have no liability
whatsoever for any use You make of the Technology.
You shall indemnify and hold harmless Cisco and its
distributors, partners, contractors and agents from
any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs and fees
(including reasonable attorney fees) arising from Your use
of the Technology as well as from Your failure to comply
with any term of this Agreement.
Technical Support. This Agreement is neither a service
nor a support contract. Information about Cisco’s
current technical support offerings and policies
(including any fees for support services) can be found at
www.myciscohome.com/support.
Export. Software, including technical data, may be subject
to U.S. export control laws and regulations and/or export
or import regulations in other countries. You agree to
comply strictly with all such laws and regulations.
U.S. Government Users. The Software and Documentation
qualify as “commercial items” as defined at 48 C.F.R. 2.101
and 48 C.F.R. 12.212. All Government users acquire the
Software and Documentation with only those rights
herein that apply to non-governmental customers. Use of
either the Software or Documentation or both constitutes
agreement by the Government that the Software and
Documentation are “commercial computer software”
and “commercial computer software documentation,”
and constitutes acceptance of the rights and restrictions
herein.
General Terms. If any portion of this Agreement is found
to be void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions
will remain in full force and effect. Each party recognizes
and agrees that the warranty disclaimers and liability
and remedy limitations in this Agreement are material
bargained for bases of this Agreement and that they
are reasonable and have been taken into account and
reflected in determining the consideration to be given
by each party under this Agreement and in the decision
by each party to enter into this Agreement. Cisco’s
distributors, contractors and agents are intended third
party beneficiaries under this Agreement. This Agreement
constitutes the entire agreement between the parties
with respect to the Software and supersedes any
conflicting or additional terms contained in any purchase
order or elsewhere. Except as set forth in the above
“License” Section or otherwise expressly provided under
this Agreement, no amendment to or modification of this
Agreement will be binding unless in writing and signed
by Cisco and You.
Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and
interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of
California, without reference to conflict of laws principles,
and the State and federal courts of California shall have
exclusive jurisdiction over any claim howsoever arising
under or in connection with this Agreement. However, if
you are a consumer and you live in a country where Cisco
markets or promotes the Software or Services, local law
may require that certain consumer protection laws of
your country of residence apply to some sections of this
Agreement. The United Nations Convention on Contracts
for the International Sale of Goods will not apply.
Linksys, Cisco and the Cisco Logo and other trademarks

You to use Cisco’s or its licensors’ names or respective
trademarks.
END OF SCHEDULE 1
Schedule 2
Open Source and Third Party Licenses
Schedule 2-A
If this Cisco Product contains open source software
licensed under Version 2 of the “GNU General Public
License” then the license terms below in this Schedule 2-A
will apply to that open source software. The license terms
below in this Schedule 2-A are from the public web site at
http://www.gnu.org/
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim
copies of this license document, but changing it is not
allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away
your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the
GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your
freedom to share and change free software--to make sure
the software is free for all its users. This General Public
License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation’s
software and to any other program whose authors
commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation
software is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public
License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to
freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are
Linksys AE1200/AE2500 Software End User License Agreement
13
High Performance Wireless-N USB Adapter
designed to make sure that you have the freedom to
distribute copies of free software (and charge for this
service if you wish), that you receive source code or can
get it if you want it, that you can change the software or
use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know
you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that
forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to
surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain
responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the
software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program,
whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients
all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they,
too, receive or can get the source code. And you must
show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the
software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you
legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the
software.
Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we want to
make certain that everyone understands that there is no
warranty for this free software. If the software is modified
by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients
to know that what they have is not the original, so that
any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the
original authors’ reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by
software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that
redistributors of a free program will individually obtain
patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary.
To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent
must be licensed for everyone’s free use or not licensed
at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution
and modification follow
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING,
DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License applies to any program or other work
which contains a notice placed by the copyright
holder saying it may be distributed under the terms
of this General Public License. The “Program”, below,
refers to any such program or work, and a “work based
on the Program” means either the Program or any
derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a
work containing the Program or a portion of it, either
verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into
another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included
without limitation in the term “modification”.) Each
licensee is addressed as “you”.
Activities other than copying, distribution and
modification are not covered by this License; they
are outside its scope. The act of running the Program
is not restricted, and the output from the Program is
covered only if its contents constitute a work based on
the Program (independent of having been made by
running the Program). Whether that is true depends
on what the Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the
Program’s source code as you receive it, in any medium,
provided that you conspicuously and appropriately
publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice
and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices
that refer to this License and to the absence of any
warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program
a copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring
a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty
protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program
or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the
Program, and copy and distribute such modifications
or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided
that you also meet all of these conditions:
a. You must cause the modified files to carry
prominent notices stating that you changed the
files and the date of any change.
b. You must cause any work that you distribute or
publish, that in whole or in part contains or is
derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be
licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties
under the terms of this License.
c. If the modified program normally reads commands
interactively when run, you must cause it, when
started running for such interactive use in the most
ordinary way, to print or display an announcement
including an appropriate copyright notice and
a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying
that you provide a warranty) and that users may
redistribute the program under these conditions,
and telling the user how to view a copy of
this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is
interactive but does not normally print such an
announcement, your work based on the Program
is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as
a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not
derived from the Program, and can be reasonably
considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not
apply to those sections when you distribute them as
separate works. But when you distribute the same
sections as part of a whole which is a work based on
the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on
the terms of this License, whose permissions for other
licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each
and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Linksys AE1200/AE2500 Software End User License Agreement
14
High Performance Wireless-N USB Adapter
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights
or contest your rights to work written entirely by you;
rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the
distribution of derivative or collective works based on
the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not
based on the Program with the Program (or with a
work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage
or distribution medium does not bring the other work
under the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a
work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or
executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
above provided that you also do one of the following:
a. Accompany it with the complete corresponding
machine-readable source code, which must be
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
above on a medium customarily used for software
interchange; or
b. Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least
three years, to give any third party, for a charge
no more than your cost of physically performing
source distribution, a complete machine-readable
copy of the corresponding source code, to be
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
above on a medium customarily used for software
interchange; or,
c. Accompany it with the information you received as
to the offer to distribute corresponding source code.
(This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial
distribution and only if you received the program
in object code or executable form with such an
offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form
of the work for making modifications to it. For an
executable work, complete source code means all
the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts
used to control compilation and installation of the
executable. However, as a special exception, the source
code distributed need not include anything that is
normally distributed (in either source or binary form)
with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so
on) of the operating system on which the executable
runs, unless that component itself accompanies the
executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made
by offering access to copy from a designated place,
then offering equivalent access to copy the source
code from the same place counts as distribution of
the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object
code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute
the Program except as expressly provided under
this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify,
sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will
automatically terminate your rights under this License.
However, parties who have received copies, or rights,
from you under this License will not have their licenses
terminated so long as such parties remain in full
compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you
have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you
permission to modify or distribute the Program or
its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by
law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work
based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance
of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions
for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or
works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work
based on the Program), the recipient automatically
receives a license from the original licensor to copy,
distribute or modify the Program subject to these
terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the rights
granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing
compliance by third parties to this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation
of patent infringement or for any other reason (not
limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on
you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise)
that contradict the conditions of this License, they do
not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If
you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously
your obligations under this License and any other
pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
may not distribute the Program at all. For example,
if a patent license would not permit royalty-free
redistribution of the Program by all those who receive
copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only
way you could satisfy both it and this License would
be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or
unenforceable under any particular circumstance,
the balance of the section is intended to apply and
the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to
infringe any patents or other property right claims or
to contest validity of any such claims; this section has
the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free
software distribution system, which is implemented
by public license practices. Many people have
made generous contributions to the wide range of
software distributed through that system in reliance
on consistent application of that system; it is up to
Linksys AE1200/AE2500 Software End User License Agreement
15
High Performance Wireless-N USB Adapter
the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to
distribute software through any other system and a
licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear
what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this
License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is
restricted in certain countries either by patents or by
copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder
who places the Program under this License may add an
explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only
in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case,
this License incorporates the limitation as if written in
the body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised
and/or new versions of the General Public License
from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in
spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number.
If the Program specifies a version number of this
License which applies to it and “any later version”, you
have the option of following the terms and conditions
either of that version or of any later version published
by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does
not specify a version number of this License, you
may choose any version ever published by the Free
Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into
other free programs whose distribution conditions are
different, write to the author to ask for permission. For
software which is copyrighted by the Free Software
Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation;
we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision
will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free
status of all derivatives of our free software and of
promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF
CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM,
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE

51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim
copies of this license document, but changing it is not
allowed.
[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also
counts as the successor of the GNU Library Public License,
version 2, hence the version number 2.1.]
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away
your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU
General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your
freedom to share and change free software--to make sure
the software is free for all its users.
This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies
to some specially designated software packages--
typically libraries--of the Free Software Foundation and
other authors who decide to use it. You can use it too,
but we suggest you first think carefully about whether
this license or the ordinary General Public License is the
better strategy to use in any particular case, based on the
explanations below.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to
freedom of use, not price. Our General Public Licenses
are designed to make sure that you have the freedom
Linksys AE1200/AE2500 Software End User License Agreement
16
High Performance Wireless-N USB Adapter
to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this
service if you wish); that you receive source code or can
get it if you want it; that you can change the software and
use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you are
informed that you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that
forbid distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you
to surrender these rights. These restrictions translate to
certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of
the library or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of the library,
whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients
all the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that
they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link
other code with the library, you must provide complete
object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them
with the library after making changes to the library and
recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so
they know their rights.
We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we
copyright the library, and (2) we offer you this license,
which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/
or modify the library.
To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear
that there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the
library is modified by someone else and passed on, the
recipients should know that what they have is not the
original version, so that the original author’s reputation
will not be affected by problems that might be introduced
by others.
Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the
existence of any free program. We wish to make sure
that a company cannot effectively restrict the users of
a free program by obtaining a restrictive license from a
patent holder. Therefore, we insist that any patent license
obtained for a version of the library must be consistent
with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered
by the ordinary GNU General Public License. This license,
the GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to certain
designated libraries, and is quite different from the
ordinary General Public License. We use this license for
certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries
into non-free programs.
When a program is linked with a library, whether
statically or using a shared library, the combination of
the two is legally speaking a combined work, a derivative
of the original library. The ordinary General Public
License therefore permits such linking only if the entire
combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General
Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other
code with the library.
We call this license the “Lesser” General Public License
because it does Less to protect the user’s freedom than
the ordinary General Public License. It also provides
other free software developers Less of an advantage over
competing non-free programs. These disadvantages are
the reason we use the ordinary General Public License
for many libraries. However, the Lesser license provides
advantages in certain special circumstances.
For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special
need to encourage the widest possible use of a certain
library, so that it becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve
this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the library.
A more frequent case is that a free library does the same
job as widely used non-free libraries. In this case, there is
little to gain by limiting the free library to free software
only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-
free programs enables a greater number of people to use
a large body of free software. For example, permission to
use the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables many
more people to use the whole GNU operating system, as
well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating system.
Although the Lesser General Public License is Less
protective of the users’ freedom, it does ensure that the
user of a program that is linked with the Library has the
freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a
modified version of the Library.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution
and modification follow. Pay close attention to the
difference between a “work based on the library” and a
“work that uses the library”. The former contains code
derived from the library, whereas the latter must be
combined with the library in order to run.
GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING,
DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License Agreement applies to any software library
or other program which contains a notice placed by
the copyright holder or other authorized party saying
it may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser
General Public License (also called “this License”). Each
licensee is addressed as “you”.
A “library” means a collection of software functions
and/or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked
with application programs (which use some of those
functions and data) to form executables.
The “Library”, below, refers to any such software library
or work which has been distributed under these terms.
A “work based on the Library” means either the Library
or any derivative work under copyright law: that is
to say, a work containing the Library or a portion
of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or
translated straightforwardly into another language.
(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation
in the term “modification”.)
Linksys AE1200/AE2500 Software End User License Agreement
17
High Performance Wireless-N USB Adapter
“Source code” for a work means the preferred form of
the work for making modifications to it. For a library,
complete source code means all the source code for
all modules it contains, plus any associated interface
definition files, plus the scripts used to control
compilation and installation of the library.
Activities other than copying, distribution and
modification are not covered by this License; they are
outside its scope. The act of running a program using
the Library is not restricted, and output from such a
program is covered only if its contents constitute a
work based on the Library (independent of the use
of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is
true depends on what the Library does and what the
program that uses the Library does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the
Library’s complete source code as you receive it, in
any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep
intact all the notices that refer to this License and to
the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of
this License along with the Library.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring
a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty
protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or
any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the
Library, and copy and distribute such modifications
or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided
that you also meet all of these conditions:
a. The modified work must itself be a software library.
b. You must cause the files modified to carry
prominent notices stating that you changed the
files and the date of any change.
c. You must cause the whole of the work to be
licensed at no charge to all third parties under the
terms of this License.
d. If a facility in the modified Library refers to a
function or a table of data to be supplied by an
application program that uses the facility, other
than as an argument passed when the facility is
invoked, then you must make a good faith effort
to ensure that, in the event an application does
not supply such function or table, the facility
still operates, and performs whatever part of its
purpose remains meaningful.
(For example, a function in a library to compute square
roots has a purpose that is entirely well-defined
independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection
2d requires that any application-supplied function or
table used by this function must be optional: if the
application does not supply it, the square root function
must still compute square roots.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as
a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not
derived from the Library, and can be reasonably
considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not
apply to those sections when you distribute them as
separate works. But when you distribute the same
sections as part of a whole which is a work based on
the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on
the terms of this License, whose permissions for other
licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each
and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights
or contest your rights to work written entirely by you;
rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the
distribution of derivative or collective works based on
the Library.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not
based on the Library with the Library (or with a work
based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or
distribution medium does not bring the other work
under the scope of this License.
3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU
General Public License instead of this License to a
given copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all
the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer
to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version
2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version than
version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License
has appeared, then you can specify that version
instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change
in these notices.
Once this change is made in a given copy, it is
irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General
Public License applies to all subsequent copies and
derivative works made from that copy.
This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the
code of the Library into a program that is not a library.
4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion
or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or
executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and
2 above provided that you accompany it with the
complete corresponding machine-readable source
code, which must be distributed under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used
for software interchange.
If distribution of object code is made by offering
access to copy from a designated place, then offering
equivalent access to copy the source code from the
same place satisfies the requirement to distribute
the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object
code.

5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion
of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library
by being compiled or linked with it, is called a “work
that uses the Library”. Such a work, in isolation, is not
a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls
outside the scope of this License.
However, linking a “work that uses the Library” with
the Library creates an executable that is a derivative
of the Library (because it contains portions of the
Library), rather than a “work that uses the library”. The
executable is therefore covered by this License. Section
6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
When a “work that uses the Library” uses material from
a header file that is part of the Library, the object code
for the work may be a derivative work of the Library
even though the source code is not. Whether this is
true is especially significant if the work can be linked
without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The
threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by
law.
If such an object file uses only numerical parameters,
data structure layouts and accessors, and small
macros and small inline functions (ten lines or less in
length), then the use of the object file is unrestricted,
regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work.
(Executables containing this object code plus portions
of the Library will still fall under Section 6.)
Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you
may distribute the object code for the work under the
terms of Section 6. Any executables containing that
work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are
linked directly with the Library itself.
6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also
combine or link a “work that uses the Library” with the
Library to produce a work containing portions of the
Library, and distribute that work under terms of your
choice, provided that the terms permit modification
of the work for the customer’s own use and reverse
engineering for debugging such modifications.
You must give prominent notice with each copy of
the work that the Library is used in it and that the
Library and its use are covered by this License. You
must supply a copy of this License. If the work during
execution displays copyright notices, you must include
the copyright notice for the Library among them, as
well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this
License. Also, you must do one of these things:
a. Accompany the work with the complete
corresponding machine-readable source code
for the Library including whatever changes were
used in the work (which must be distributed
under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work
is an executable linked with the Library, with the
complete machine-readable “work that uses the
Library”, as object code and/or source code, so that
the user can modify the Library and then relink
to produce a modified executable containing the
modified Library. (It is understood that the user
who changes the contents of definitions files in the
Library will not necessarily be able to recompile
the application to use the modified definitions.)
b. Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking
with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that
(1) uses at run time a copy of the library already
present on the user’s computer system, rather than
copying library functions into the executable, and
(2) will operate properly with a modified version of
the library, if the user installs one, as long as the
modified version is interface-compatible with the
version that the work was made with.
c. Accompany the work with a written offer, valid
for at least three years, to give the same user the
materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a
charge no more than the cost of performing this
distribution.
d. If distribution of the work is made by offering access
to copy from a designated place, offer equivalent
access to copy the above specified materials from
the same place.
e. Verify that the user has already received a copy of
these materials or that you have already sent this
user a copy.
For an executable, the required form of the “work that
uses the Library” must include any data and utility
programs needed for
reproducing the executable from it. However, as a
special exception, the materials to be distributed
need not include anything that is normally distributed
(in either source or binary form) with the major
components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
operating system on which the executable runs, unless
that component itself accompanies the executable.
It may happen that this requirement contradicts the
license restrictions of other proprietary libraries that
do not normally accompany the operating system.
Such a contradiction means you cannot use both
them and the Library together in an executable that
you distribute.

7. You may place library facilities that are a work based
on the Library side-by-side in a single library together
with other library facilities not covered by this License,
and distribute such a combined library, provided that
the separate distribution of the work based on the
Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
a. Accompany the combined library with a copy of the
same work based on the Library, uncombined with
any other library facilities. This must be distributed
under the terms of the Sections above.
b. Give prominent notice with the combined
library of the fact that part of it is a work based
on the Library, and explaining where to find the
accompanying uncombined form of the same wor
Give prominent notice with the combined library of
the fact that part of it is a work based on the Library,
and explaining where to find the accompanying
uncombined form of the same work.
8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
distribute the Library except as expressly provided
under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy,
modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library
is void, and will automatically terminate your rights
under this License. However, parties who have received
copies, or rights, from you under this License will not
have their licenses terminated so long as such parties
remain in full compliance.
9. You are not required to accept this License, since you
have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you
permission to modify or distribute the Library or its
derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if
you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying
or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License
to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying,
distributing or modifying the Library or works based
on it.
10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work
based on the Library), the recipient automatically
receives a license from the original licensor to copy,
distribute, link with or modify the Library subject
to these terms and conditions. You may not impose
any further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of
the rights granted herein. You are not responsible
for enforcing compliance by third parties with this
License.
11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation
of patent infringement or for any other reason (not
limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on
you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise)
that contradict the conditions of this License, they do
not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If
you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously
your obligations under this License and any other
pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of
the Library by all those who receive copies directly or
indirectly through you, then the only way you could
satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain
entirely from distribution of the Library.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or
unenforceable under any particular circumstance,
the balance of the section is intended to apply, and
the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to
infringe any patents or other property right claims or
to contest validity of any such claims; this section has
the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free
software distribution system which is implemented
by public license practices. Many people have
made generous contributions to the wide range of
software distributed through that system in reliance
on consistent application of that system; it is up to
the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to
distribute software through any other system and a
licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear
what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this
License.
12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted
in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted
interfaces, the original copyright holder who places
the Library under this License may add an explicit
geographical distribution limitation excluding those
countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or
among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this
License incorporates the limitation as if written in the
body of this License.
13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised
and/or new versions of the Lesser General Public
License from time to time. Such new versions will be
similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in
detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number.
If the Library specifies a version number of this License
which applies to it and “any later version”, you have
the option of following the terms and conditions
either of that version or of any later version published
by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does
Linksys AE1200/AE2500 Software End User License Agreement
20
High Performance Wireless-N USB Adapter
not specify a license version number, you may choose
any version ever published by the Free Software
Foundation.
14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into
other free programs whose distribution conditions are
incompatible with these, write to the author to ask for
permission. For software which is copyrighted by the
Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software
Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for
this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of
preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free
software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of
software generally.
NO WARRANTY
15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE,
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT
WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE
LIBRARY “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT
NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD
THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE
COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR
CORRECTION.
16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW
OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT
HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED
ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE LIBRARY (INCLUDING
BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY
TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF

Version 3, 29 June 2007
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
http://fsf.org/. Everyone is permitted to copy and
distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but
changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license
for software and other kinds of works.
The licenses for most software and other practical works
are designed to take away your freedom to share and
change the works. By contrast, the GNU General Public
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share
and change all versions of a program--to make sure
it remains free software for all its users. We, the Free
Software Foundation, use the GNU General Public License
for most of our software; it applies also to any other work
released this way by its authors. You can apply it to your
programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to
freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are
designed to make sure that you have the freedom to
distribute copies of free software (and charge for them if
you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
want it, that you can change the software or use pieces
of it in new free programs, and that you know you can do
these things.
To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from
denying you these rights or asking you to surrender the
rights. Therefore, you have certain responsibilities if you
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it:
responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program,
whether gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the
recipients the same freedoms that you received. You must
make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
code. And you must show them these terms so they know
their rights.
Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with
two steps:
(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this
License giving you legal permission to copy, distribute
and/or modify it.
For the developers’ and authors’ protection, the GPL clearly
explains that there is no warranty for this free software.
For both users’ and authors’ sake, the GPL requires that
modified versions be marked as changed, so that their
problems will not be attributed erroneously to authors of
previous versions.
Some devices are designed to deny users access to
install or run modified versions of the software inside
them, although the manufacturer can do so. This is
Linksys AE1200/AE2500 Software End User License Agreement
21
High Performance Wireless-N USB Adapter
fundamentally incompatible with the aim of protecting
users’ freedom to change the software. The systematic
pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for
individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most
unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed this version of
the GPL to prohibit the practice for those products. If such
problems arise substantially in other domains, we stand
ready to extend this provision to those domains in future
versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of
users.
Finally, every program is threatened constantly by
software patents. States should not allow patents to
restrict development and use of software on general-
purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to avoid
the special danger that patents applied to a free program
could make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the
GPL assures that patents cannot be used to render the
program non-free.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution
and modification follow.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
0. Definitions.
“This License” refers to version 3 of the GNU General
Public License.
“Copyright” also means copyright-like laws that apply
to other kinds of works, such as semiconductor masks.
“The Program” refers to any copyrightable work
licensed under this License. Each licensee is addressed
as “you”. “Licensees” and “recipients” may be individuals
or organizations.
To “modify” a work means to copy from or adapt all
or part of the work in a fashion requiring copyright
permission, other than the making of an exact copy.
The resulting work is called a “modified version” of the
earlier work or a work “based on” the earlier work.
A “covered work” means either the unmodified
Program or a work based on the Program.
To “propagate” a work means to do anything with it
that, without permission, would make you directly or
secondarily liable for infringement under applicable
copyright law, except executing it on a computer
or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes
copying, distribution (with or without modification),
making available to the public, and in some countries
other activities as well.
To “convey” a work means any kind of propagation that
enables other parties to make or receive copies. Mere
interaction with a user through a computer network,
with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
An interactive user interface displays “Appropriate
Legal Notices” to the extent that it includes a
convenient and prominently visible feature that (1)
displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) tells
the user that there is no warranty for the work (except
to the extent that warranties are provided), that
licensees may convey the work under this License,
and how to view a copy of this License. If the interface
presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
1. Source Code.
The “source code” for a work means the preferred form
of the work for making modifications to it. “Object
code” means any non-source form of a work.
A “Standard Interface” means an interface that either is
an official standard defined by a recognized standards
body, or, in the case of interfaces specified for a
particular programming language, one that is widely
used among developers working in that language.
The “System Libraries” of an executable work include
anything, other than the work as a whole, that (a) is
included in the normal form of packaging a Major
Component, but which is not part of that Major
Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the
work with that Major Component, or to implement
a Standard Interface for which an implementation is
available to the public in source code form. A “Major
Component”, in this context, means a major essential
component (kernel, window system, and so on) of
the specific operating system (if any) on which the
executable work runs, or a compiler used to produce
the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code
form means all the source code needed to generate,
install, and (for an executable work) run the object
code and to modify the work, including scripts to
control those activities. However, it does not include
the work’s System Libraries, or general-purpose tools
or generally available free programs which are used
unmodified in performing those activities but which
are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding
Source includes interface definition files associated
with source files for the work, and the source code for
shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms
that the work is specifically designed to require, such
as by intimate data communication or control flow
between those subprograms and other parts of the
work.
The Corresponding Source need not include anything
that users can regenerate automatically from other
parts of the Corresponding Source.
The Corresponding Source for a work in source code
form is that same work.
2. Basic Permissions.
All rights granted under this License are granted for the
term of copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable
provided the stated conditions are met. This License
Linksys AE1200/AE2500 Software End User License Agreement
22
High Performance Wireless-N USB Adapter
explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run
the unmodified Program. The output from running
a covered work is covered by this License only if the
output, given its content, constitutes a covered work.
This License acknowledges your rights of fair use or
other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
You may make, run and propagate covered works
that you do not convey, without conditions so long
as your license otherwise remains in force. You may
convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
of having them make modifications exclusively for
you, or provide you with facilities for running those
works, provided that you comply with the terms of this
License in conveying all material for which you do not
control copyright. Those thus making or running the
covered works for you must do so exclusively on your
behalf, under your direction and control, on terms
that prohibit them from making any copies of your
copyrighted material outside their relationship with
you.
Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted
solely under the conditions stated below. Sublicensing
is not allowed; section 10 makes it unnecessary.
3. Protecting Users’ Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention
Law.
No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective
technological measure under any applicable law
fulfilling obligations under article 11 of the WIPO
copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of
such measures.
When you convey a covered work, you waive any
legal power to forbid circumvention of technological
measures to the extent such circumvention is effected
by exercising rights under this License with respect
to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention
to limit operation or modification of the work as a
means of enforcing, against the work’s users, your or
third parties’ legal rights to forbid circumvention of
technological measures.
4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
You may convey verbatim copies of the Program’s
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided
that you conspicuously and appropriately publish
on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep
intact all notices stating that this License and any non-
permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply
to the code; keep intact all notices of the absence of
any warranty; and give all recipients a copy of this
License along with the Program.
You may charge any price or no price for each copy that
you convey, and you may offer support or warranty
protection for a fee.
5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
You may convey a work based on the Program, or
the modifications to produce it from the Program, in
the form of source code under the terms of section 4,
provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a. The work must carry prominent notices stating
that you modified it, and giving a relevant date.
b. The work must carry prominent notices stating that
it is released under this License and any conditions
added under section 7. This requirement modifies
the requirement in section 4 to “keep intact all
notices”.
c. You must license the entire work, as a whole, under
this License to anyone who comes into possession
of a copy. This License will therefore apply, along
with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to
the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless
of how they are packaged. This License gives no
permission to license the work in any other way,
but it does not invalidate such permission if you
have separately received it.
d. If the work has interactive user interfaces, each
must display Appropriate Legal Notices; however,
if the Program has interactive interfaces that do
not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work
need not make them do so.
A compilation of a covered work with other separate
and independent works, which are not by their nature
extensions of the covered work, and which are not
combined with it such as to form a larger program, in
or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium,
is called an “aggregate” if the compilation and its
resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or
legal rights of the compilation’s users beyond what the
individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work in
an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to
the other parts of the aggregate.
6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
You may convey a covered work in object code form
under the terms of sections 4 and 5, provided that
you also convey the machine-readable Corresponding
Source under the terms of this License, in one of these
ways:
a. Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a
physical product (including a physical distribution
medium), accompanied by the Corresponding
Source fixed on a durable physical medium
customarily used for software interchange.
Linksys AE1200/AE2500 Software End User License Agreement
23
High Performance Wireless-N USB Adapter
b. Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a
physical product (including a physical distribution
medium), accompanied by a written offer, valid for
at least three years and valid for as long as you offer
spare parts or customer support for that product
model, to give anyone who possesses the object
code either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source
for all the software in the product that is covered
by this License, on a durable physical medium
customarily used for software interchange, for
a price no more than your reasonable cost of
physically performing this conveying of source, or
(2) access to copy the Corresponding Source from
a network server at no charge.
c. Convey individual copies of the object code
with a copy of the written offer to provide the
Corresponding Source. This alternative is allowed
only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if
you received the object code with such an offer, in
accord with subsection 6b.
d. Convey the object code by offering access from a
designated place (gratis or for a charge), and offer
equivalent access to the Corresponding Source
in the same way through the same place at no
further charge. You need not require recipients to
copy the Corresponding Source along with the
object code. If the place to copy the object code
is a network server, the Corresponding Source
may be on a different server (operated by you or
a third party) that supports equivalent copying
facilities, provided you maintain clear directions
next to the object code saying where to find the
Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server
hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain
obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as
needed to satisfy these requirements.
e. Convey the object code using peer-to-peer
transmission, provided you inform other peers
where the object code and Corresponding Source
of the work are being offered to the general public
at no charge under subsection 6d.
A separable portion of the object code, whose source
code is excluded from the Corresponding Source as a
System Library, need not be included in conveying the
object code work.
A “User Product” is either (1) a “consumer product”,
which means any tangible personal property which
is normally used for personal, family, or household
purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for
incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether
a product is a consumer product, doubtful cases
shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
product received by a particular user, “normally
used” refers to a typical or common use of that class
of product, regardless of the status of the particular
user or of the way in which the particular user actually
uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A
product is a consumer product regardless of whether
the product has substantial commercial, industrial or
non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the
only significant mode of use of the product.
“Installation Information” for a User Product means
any methods, procedures, authorization keys, or other
information required to install and execute modified
versions of a covered work in that User Product from
a modified version of its Corresponding Source.
The information must suffice to ensure that the
continued functioning of the modified object code is
in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
modification has been made.
If you convey an object code work under this section
in, or with, or specifically for use in, a User Product,
and the conveying occurs as part of a transaction
in which the right of possession and use of the User
Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or
for a fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is
characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed
under this section must be accompanied by the
Installation Information. But this requirement does
not apply if neither you nor any third party retains
the ability to install modified object code on the User
Product (for example, the work has been installed in
ROM).
The requirement to provide Installation Information
does not include a requirement to continue to provide
support service, warranty, or updates for a work that
has been modified or installed by the recipient, or
for the User Product in which it has been modified or
installed. Access to a network may be denied when
the modification itself materially and adversely affects
the operation of the network or violates the rules and
protocols for communication across the network.
Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation
Information provided, in accord with this section must
be in a format that is publicly documented (and with
an implementation available to the public in source
code form), and must require no special password or
key for unpacking, reading or copying.
7. Additional Terms.
“Additional permissions” are terms that supplement the
terms of this License by making exceptions from one
or more of its conditions. Additional permissions that
are applicable to the entire Program shall be treated as
though they were included in this License, to the extent
that they are valid under applicable law. If additional
permissions apply only to part of the Program, that part
may be used separately under those permissions, but the
entire Program remains governed by this License without
regard to the additional permissions.
Linksys AE1200/AE2500 Software End User License Agreement
24
High Performance Wireless-N USB Adapter
When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at
your option remove any additional permissions from that
copy, or from any part of it. (Additional permissions may
be written to require their own removal in certain cases
when you modify the work.) You may place additional
permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
for which you have or can give appropriate copyright
permission. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
License, for material you add to a covered work, you may
(if authorized by the copyright holders of that material)
supplement the terms of this License with terms:
a. Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently
from the terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License;
or
b. Requiring preservation of specified reasonable
legal notices or author attributions in that material
or in the Appropriate Legal Notices displayed by
works containing it; or
c. Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that
material, or requiring that modified versions of
such material be marked in reasonable ways as
different from the original version; or
d. Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of
licensors or authors of the material; or
e. Declining to grant rights under trademark law for
use of some trade names, trademarks, or service
marks; or
f. Requiring indemnification of licensors and
authors of that material by anyone who conveys
the material (or modified versions of it) with
contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient,
for any liability that these contractual assumptions
directly impose on those licensors and authors.
All other non-permissive additional terms are
considered “further restrictions” within the meaning of
section 10. If the Program as you received it, or any part
of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this
License along with a term that is a further restriction,
you may remove that term. If a license document
contains a further restriction but permits relicensing
or conveying under this License, you may add to a
covered work material governed by the terms of that
license document, provided that the further restriction
does not survive such relicensing or conveying.
If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this
section, you must place, in the relevant source files, a
statement of the additional terms that apply to those
files, or a notice indicating where to find the applicable
terms.
Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may
be stated in the form of a separately written license,
or stated as exceptions; the above requirements apply
either way.
8. Termination.
You may not propagate or modify a covered work
except as expressly provided under this License. Any
attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is void,
and will automatically terminate your rights under this
License (including any patent licenses granted under
the third paragraph of section 11).
However, if you cease all violation of this License,
then your license from a particular copyright holder
is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the
copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your
license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder
fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable
means prior to 60 days after the cessation.
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright
holder is reinstated permanently if the copyright
holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable
means, this is the first time you have received notice
of violation of this License (for any work) from that
copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to
30 days after your receipt of the notice.
Termination of your rights under this section does not
terminate the licenses of parties who have received
copies or rights from you under this License. If your
rights have been terminated and not permanently
reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses
for the same material under section 10.
9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
You are not required to accept this License in order
to receive or run a copy of the Program. Ancillary
propagation of a covered work occurring solely as a
consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to
receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.
However, nothing other than this License grants you
permission to propagate or modify any covered work.
These actions infringe copyright if you do not accept
this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating
a covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this
License to do so.
10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient
automatically receives a license from the original
licensors, to run, modify and propagate that work,
subject to this License. You are not responsible for
enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
An “entity transaction” is a transaction transferring
control of an organization, or substantially all assets
of one, or subdividing an organization, or merging
organizations. If propagation of a covered work
results from an entity transaction, each party to that
transaction who receives a copy of the work also
receives whatever licenses to the work the party’s
predecessor in interest had or could give under
the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession
Linksys AE1200/AE2500 Software End User License Agreement
25
High Performance Wireless-N USB Adapter
of the Corresponding Source of the work from the
predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has it or can
get it with reasonable efforts.
You may not impose any further restrictions on the
exercise of the rights granted or affirmed under this
License. For example, you may not impose a license
fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights
granted under this License, and you may not initiate
litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a
lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed by
making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing
the Program or any portion of it.
11. Patents.
A “contributor” is a copyright holder who authorizes
use under this License of the Program or a work on
which the Program is based. The work thus licensed is
called the contributor’s “contributor version”.
A contributor’s “essential patent claims” are all patent
claims owned or controlled by the contributor, whether
already acquired or hereafter acquired, that would be
infringed by some manner, permitted by this License,
of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
but do not include claims that would be infringed
only as a consequence of further modification of the
contributor version. For purposes of this definition,
“control” includes the right to grant patent sublicenses
in a manner consistent with the requirements of this
License.
Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive,
worldwide, royalty-free patent license under the
contributor’s essential patent claims, to make, use, sell,
offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
propagate the contents of its contributor version.
In the following three paragraphs, a “patent license”
is any express agreement or commitment, however
denominated, not to enforce a patent (such as an
express permission to practice a patent or covenant
not to sue for patent infringement). To “grant” such
a patent license to a party means to make such an
agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent
against the party.
If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on
a patent license, and the Corresponding Source of
the work is not available for anyone to copy, free of
charge and under the terms of this License, through
a publicly available network server or other readily
accessible means, then you must either (1) cause the
Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange
to deprive yourself of the benefit of the patent license
for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
consistent with the requirements of this License, to
extend the patent license to downstream recipients.
“Knowingly relying” means you have actual knowledge
that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
covered work in a country, or your recipient’s use of
the covered work in a country, would infringe one
or more identifiable patents in that country that you
have reason to believe are valid.
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single
transaction or arrangement, you convey, or propagate
by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and
grant a patent license to some of the parties receiving
the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate,
modify or convey a specific copy of the covered work,
then the patent license you grant is automatically
extended to all recipients of the covered work and
works based on it.
A patent license is “discriminatory” if it does not include
within the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise
of, or is conditioned on the non-exercise of one or
more of the rights that are specifically granted under
this License. You may not convey a covered work if
you are a party to an arrangement with a third party
that is in the business of distributing software, under
which you make payment to the third party based
on the extent of your activity of conveying the work,
and under which the third party grants, to any of the
parties who would receive the covered work from you,
a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection with
copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies
made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in
connection with specific products or compilations
that contain the covered work, unless you entered into
that arrangement, or that patent license was granted,
prior to 28 March 2007.
Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding
or limiting any implied license or other defenses to
infringement that may otherwise be available to you
under applicable patent law.
12. No Surrender of Others’ Freedom.
If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court
order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the
conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from
the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your
obligations under this License and any other pertinent
obligations, then as a consequence you may not
convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that
obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying
from those to whom you convey the Program, the
only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
License would be to refrain entirely from conveying
the Program.
13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License,
you have permission to link or combine any covered
work with a work licensed under version 3 of the GNU
Affero General Public License into a single combined
work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of
this License will continue to apply to the part which
Linksys AE1200/AE2500 Software End User License Agreement
26
High Performance Wireless-N USB Adapter
is the covered work, but the special requirements of
the GNU Affero General Public License, section 13,
concerning interaction through a network will apply
to the combination as such.
14. Revised Versions of this License.
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised
and/or new versions of the GNU General Public License
from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in
spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number.
If the Program specifies that a certain numbered
version of the GNU General Public License “or any later
version” applies to it, you have the option of following
the terms and conditions either of that numbered
version or of any later version published by the Free
Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify
a version number of the GNU General Public License,
you may choose any version ever published by the
Free Software Foundation.
If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which
future versions of the GNU General Public License can
be used, that proxy’s public statement of acceptance
of a version permanently authorizes you to choose
that version for the Program.
Later license versions may give you additional
or different permissions. However, no additional
obligations are imposed on any author or copyright
holder as a result of your choosing to follow a later
version.
15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT
WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE
PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING,
BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.
SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU
ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
16. Limitation of Liability.
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW
OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT
HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/
OR CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE,
BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO
USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE
OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR
A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY
OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER
PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
SUCH DAMAGES.
17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability
provided above cannot be given local legal effect
according to their terms, reviewing courts shall apply
local law that most closely approximates an absolute
waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability
accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
END OF SCHEDULE 2-C
Schedule 2-D
If this Cisco Product contains open source software
licensed under Version 3 of the “GNU Lesser General Public
License” then the license terms below in this Schedule 2-D
will apply to that open source software. The license terms
below in this Schedule 2-D are from the public web site at
http://www.gnu.org/
GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 3, 29 June 2007
Copyright (c) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
http://fsf.org/
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim
copies of this license document, but changing it is not
allowed.
This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License
incorporates the terms and conditions of version 3 of
the GNU General Public License, supplemented by the
additional permissions listed below.
0. Additional Definitions.
As used herein, “this License” refers to version 3 of the
GNU Lesser General Public License, and the “GNU GPL”
refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
“The Library” refers to a covered work governed by
this License, other than an Application or a Combined
Work as defined below.
An “Application” is any work that makes use of an
interface provided by the Library, but which is not
otherwise based on the Library. Defining a subclass
of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode of
using an interface provided by the Library.
A “Combined Work” is a work produced by combining
or linking an Application with the Library. The particular
version of the Library with which the Combined Work
was made is also called the “Linked Version”.
Linksys AE1200/AE2500 Software End User License Agreement
27
High Performance Wireless-N USB Adapter
The “Minimal Corresponding Source” for a Combined
Work means the Corresponding Source for the
Combined Work, excluding any source code for
portions of the Combined Work that, considered in
isolation, are based on the Application, and not on the
Linked Version.
The “Corresponding Application Code” for a Combined
Work means the object code and/or source code for the
Application, including any data and utility programs
needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the
Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the
Combined Work.
1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL.
You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and
4 of this License without being bound by section 3 of
the GNU GPL.
2. Conveying Modified Versions.
If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your
modifications, a facility refers to a function or data to
be supplied by an Application that uses the facility
(other than as an argument passed when the facility is
invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified
version:
a. under this License, provided that you make a
good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an
Application does not supply the function or data,
the facility still operates, and performs whatever
part of its purpose remains meaningful, or
b. under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional
permissions of this License applicable to that copy.
3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library
Header Files.
The object code form of an Application may
incorporate material from a header file that is part of
the Library. You may convey such object code under
terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated
material is not limited to numerical parameters, data
structure layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline
functions and templates (ten or fewer lines in length),
you do both of the following:
a. Give prominent notice with each copy of the
object code that the Library is used in it and that
the Library and its use are covered by this License.
b. Accompany the object code with a copy of the
GNU GPL and this license document.
4. Combined Works.
You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your
choice that, taken together, effectively do not restrict
modification of the portions of the Library contained
in the Combined Work and reverse engineering for
debugging such modifications, if you also do each of
the following:
a. Give prominent notice with each copy of the
Combined Work that the Library is used in it and
that the Library and its use are covered by this
License.
b. Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the
GNU GPL and this license document.
c. For a Combined Work that displays copyright
notices during execution, include the copyright
notice for the Library among these notices, as well
as a reference directing the user to the copies of
the GNU GPL and this license document.
d. Do one of the following:
0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source
under the terms of this License, and the
Corresponding Application Code in a form
suitable for, and under terms that permit, the
user to recombine or relink the Application
with a modified version of the Linked Version
to produce a modified Combined Work, in the
manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL
for conveying Corresponding Source.
1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for
linking with the Library. A suitable mechanism
is one that (a) uses at run time a copy of the
Library already present on the user’s computer
system, and (b) will operate properly with a
modified version of the Library that is interface-
compatible with the Linked Version.
e. Provide Installation Information, but only if you
would otherwise be required to provide such
information under section 6 of the GNU GPL,
and only to the extent that such information is
necessary to install and execute a modified version
of the Combined Work produced by recombining
or relinking the Application with a modified version
of the Linked Version. (If you use option 4d0, the
Installation Information must accompany the
Minimal Corresponding Source and Corresponding
Application Code. If you use option 4d1, you must
provide the Installation Information in the manner
specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying
Corresponding Source.)
5. Combined Libraries.
You may place library facilities that are a work based
on the Library side by side in a single library together
with other library facilities that are not Applications
and are not covered by this License, and convey such a
combined library under terms of your choice, if you do
both of the following:
a. Accompany the combined library with a copy of
the same work based on the Library, uncombined
with any other library facilities, conveyed under the
terms of this License.
Linksys AE1200/AE2500 Software End User License Agreement
28
High Performance Wireless-N USB Adapter
b. Give prominent notice with the combined library
that part of it is a work based on the Library, and
explaining where to find the accompanying
uncombined form of the same work.
6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public
License.
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised
and/or new versions of the GNU Lesser General Public
License from time to time. Such new versions will be
similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in
detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number.
If the Library as you received it specifies that a certain
numbered version of the GNU Lesser General Public
License “or any later version” applies to it, you have the
option of following the terms and conditions either of
that published version or of any later version published
by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you
received it does not specify a version number of the
GNU Lesser General Public License, you may choose
any version of the GNU Lesser General Public License
ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy
can decide whether future versions of the GNU Lesser
General Public License shall apply, that proxy’s public
statement of acceptance of any version is permanent
authorization for you to choose that version for the
Library.

THIS DEVICE MEETS FCC AND INDUSTRY
CANADA GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIO WAVES
Your USB adaptor is a radio transmitter and receiver.
It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to
radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields)
recommended by international guidelines. The guidelines
were developed by the IEEE C 95.2 and Health Canada and
include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

High Performance Wireless-N USB Adapter
The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 1.6 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions with the device transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The
highest SAR values under the FCC and Industry Canada
guidelines for this device model are:
Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under
which it was recorded
Type of
Exposure Target Freq Value W/kg Limit W/kg
SAR (Whole
body)
WLAN 2.4
GHz xx.xx 1.6
SAR (Whole
body)
WLAN 5.0
GHz xx.xx 1.6
During use, the actual SAR values for this device are
usually well below the values stated above. This is because,
for purposes of system efficiency and to minimize
interference on the network, the operating power of your
mobile device is automatically decreased when full power
is not needed for the transmission. The lower the power
output of the device, the lower its SAR value.
Body SAR testing has been carried out at a separation
distance of x.xx cm. To meet RF exposure guidelines during
operation, the device should be x.xx cm positioned at least
this distance away from the body. If you are not using an
approved accessory ensure that whatever product is used
is free of any metal and that it positions the mobile device
indicated distance away from the body.
