3 Product Application
The Meru Peacock radio module is an 802.11a/b/g/n 3 x 3 MIMO half duplex PCIe radio module is
integrated inside a WLAN Access point at the manufacturing facility during the assembly before shipping
to the customer. Each AP uses 2 or 3 radios depending upon the AP models. The WLAN Access point is
used by the enterprises customers, Education Institution and Health care industry for WLAN data and
voice connection from PC, Laptop and portable computing devices.
4 Regulatory Information
Information for the OEMs and Integrators
The following statement must be included with all versions of this document supplied to an OEM or
integrator, but should not be distributed to the end user.
This device is intended for OEM integrators only.
Please see the full Grant of Equipment document for other restrictions.
This device must be operated and used with a locally approved access point.
Any changes or modifications to this product not expressly approved by Meru Networks Inc. could void
the user's authorization to operate the product.
Information to Be Supplied to the End User by the OEM or Integrator
The following regulatory and safety notices must be published in documentation supplied to the end user
of the product or system incorporating the Meru wireless adapter, in compliance with local regulations.
Host system must be labeled with "Contains FCC ID: XXXXXXXX", FCC ID displayed on label.
The Meru wireless adapter must be installed and used in strict accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions as described in the user documentation that comes with the product. Meru Networks Inc is
not responsible for any radio or television interference caused by unauthorized modification of the
devices included with the wireless adapter kit or the substitution or attachment of connecting cables and
equipment other than that specified by Meru Networks Inc. The correction of interference caused by such
unauthorized modification, substitution or attachment is the responsibility of the user. Meru Networks Inc
and authorized resellers or distributors are not liable for any damage or violation of government
regulations that may arise from the user failing to comply with these guidelines.
FCC Radio Frequency Interference Requirements
This wireless adapter is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency
range. FCC requires this wireless adapter to be used indoors for the frequency range 5.15 to 5.25 GHz to
reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems. High power radars
are allocated as primary users of the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz and 5.65 to 5.85 GHz bands. These radar stations
can cause interference with and /or damage this device.
This wireless adapter is intended for OEM integrators only.
This wireless adapter cannot be co-located with any other transmitter unless approved by the FCC.

USA - Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
This wireless adapter complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation of the device is subject to the
following two conditions:
1) This device may not cause harmful interference.
2) This device must accept any interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE: The radiated output power of the adapter is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits.
Nevertheless, the adapter should be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact
during normal operation is minimized. To avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency
exposure limits, you should keep a distance of at least 20 cm between you (or any other person in the
vicinity), or the minimum separation distance as specified by the FCC grant conditions, and the
antenna that is built into the computer. Details of the authorized configurations can be found at
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/ by entering the FCC ID number on the device.
Interference Statement
This wireless adapter has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This wireless adapter generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy. If the wireless adapter is not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, the wireless adapter may cause harmful interference to radio communications. There is no
guarantee, however, that such interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this wireless
adapter does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception (which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on), the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by taking one
or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna of the equipment experiencing the interference.
Increase the distance between the wireless adapter and the equipment experiencing the interference.
Connect the computer with the wireless adapter to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
equipment experiencing the interference is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
NOTE: The adapter must be installed and used in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions
as described in the user documentation that comes with the product. Any other installation or use
will violate FCC Part 15 regulations.

Canada – Industry Canada (IC)
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of
the device.
Caution: When using IEEE 802.11a wireless LAN, this product is restricted to indoor use due to its
operation in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency range. Industry Canada requires this product to be used
indoors for the frequency range of 5.15 GHz to 5.25 GHz to reduce the potential for harmful interference
to co-channel mobile satellite systems. High power radar is allocated as the primary user of the 5.25 to
5.35 GHz and 5.65 to 5.85 GHz bands. These radar stations can cause interference with and/or damage to
this device.
To comply with RF exposure requirements all antennas should be located at a minimum distance of 20
cm, or the minimum separation distance allowed by the module approval, from the body of all persons.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be met (for example certain laptop
configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer
considered valid and the FCC ID can not be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM
integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a
separate FCC authorization.
End Product Labeling
This transmitter module is authorized only for use in device where the antenna may be installed such that
20 cm may be maintained between the antenna and users. The final end product must be labeled in a
visible area with the following: “Contains FCC ID: RE7-AP433”, “Contains IC: 6749A-AP433”
Manual Information to the End User
The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or
remove this RF module in the user’s manual of the end product which integrates this module.
The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning as show in this manual.
