Important Product Information
Important safety information regarding radio frequency (RF)
exposure and use when worn
To ensure compliance at all times with the Radio Equipment and
Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive 1999/5/EC*
(R&TTE Directive) the equipment when in operation requires a
minimum of 7cm separation from the body. Failure to observe
these instructions could result in your RF exposure exceeding the
compliance with Annex II of Council Recommendation 1999/519/EC.
* The General Public RF exposure limits referenced in the R&TTE
Directive are consistent with the guidelines of the International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)
published in 1998.
ICNIRP is the formally recognized non-governmental organization
in Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection for the World Health
Organization (WHO), the International Labour Organization (ILO)
and the European Union (EU).
We, NEC AccessTechnica, Ltd. hereby, declare that the residential
gateway model RG-A100L is in compliance with the essential
requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC.

FCC Regulatory Statements
FCC part 68
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. On the
bottom of this equipment is a label that contains the FCC
Registration Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this
equipment. You must provide this information to the telephone
company upon request. The REN is useful to determine the quantity
of devices you may connect to the telephone line and still have
those entire devices ring when your number is called. In most, but
not all areas, the sum of the REN of all devices connected to one
line should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of
devices you may connect to your line, as determined by the REN,
you should contact your local telephone company to determine the
maximum REN for your calling area.
If the modem causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone
company may discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they
will notify you in advance. But if advance notice isn't practical, you
will be notified as soon as possible. You will be advised of your right
to file a complaint with the FCC. The telephone company may make
changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that
could affect the proper operation of your equipment. If they do, you
will be notified in advance to give you an opportunity to maintain
uninterrupted telephone service.
If you experience trouble with this modem, please contact your
dealer for repair/warranty information. The telephone company may
ask you to disconnect this equipment from the network until the
problem has been corrected or you are sure that the equipment is
not malfunctioning.
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the
telephone company. Connection to party lines is subject to state
tariffs.
Installation: This device is equipped with a USOC RJ-11C
connector.

determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interface by one or more of the
following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by
the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority
to operate this equipment.
Note: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interface.
(2) This device must accept any interface received, including
interface that may cause undesired operation.

15
Security notes on wireless LAN products
Wireless LAN has the advantage of a LAN connection without the
use of LAN cables if the device is placed within the reach of radio
waves. You can send and receive information between devices that
use radio waves such as a computer and the wireless LAN access
point (base unit). On the other hand, you may encounter the
following problems if you do not complete the settings related to
security because the radio waves reach beyond all obstacles such
as walls if within a certain range.
●Interception of information: Some malicious computer users
may intercept radio waves intentionally to discover your IDs,
passwords, credit card numbers, e-mails, etc.
●Unauthorized intrusion: Some malicious computer users may
access personal or office networks to gain personal or
confidential information and send out false data. Also, they may
intercept communication content, rewrite it, and then send it out.
Furthermore, they may send out computer viruses to destroy
data and systems.
Wireless LAN products already have security systems so there is a
low probability that any of the above problems will occur if you use
the product with these settings.
You should be fully aware of problems which may happen to you if
you do not do your security configuration. We recommend that you
use this product only after making the security setting you judge to
be necessary based on a proper understanding of the problems
which may occur if security settings are not configured.
We, NEC AccessTechnica, Ltd., do not take responsibility for any
damage caused by a security problem occurring because of a lack
of a security measure or an unavoidable issue with the wireless LAN
specifications.
In addition, we recommend changing the encryption key and PIN
code of the wireless LAN access point (base unit) on a regular basis
to ensure safe use of the wireless LAN.
