viNoticesIntroductionFCC RF Exposure StatementThe available scientific evidencedoes not show that any health prob-lems are associated with using lowpower wireless devices. There is noproof, however, that these lowpower wireless devices are abso-lutely safe. Low power wirelessdevices emit low levels of radio fre-quency energy (RF) in the micro-wave range while being used.Whereas high levels of RF can pro-duce health effects (by heating tis-sue), exposure to low-level RF thatdoes not produce heating effectscauses no known adverse healtheffects. Many studies of low-level RFexposures have not found any bio-logical effects. Some studies havesuggested that some biologicaleffects might occur, but such find-ings have not been confirmed byadditional research. Wireless LANModule (GC-131) has been testedand found to comply with FCC radi-ation exposure limits set forth for anuncontrolled equipment and meetsthe FCC radio frequency (RF) Expo-sure Guidelines in Supplement C toOET65. Please refer to the SAR testreport that was uploaded at FCCwebsite.This device should not be co-locatedor operated in conjunction with anyother antenna or transmitter.Notice for customers in theU.S.A.FCC RF Interference StatementThis equipment has been tested andfound to comply with the limits for aClass B digital device, pursuant toPart 15 of the FCC rules. These lim-its are designed to provide reason-able protection against harmfulinterference in a residential installa-tion. This equipment generates,uses, and can radiate radio fre-quency energy and, if not installedand used in accordance with theinstructions, may cause harmfulinterference to radio communica-tions. However, there is no guaran-tee that interference will not occurin a particular installation. If thisequipment does cause harmfulinterference to radio or televisionreception, which can be deter-mined by turning the equipment offand on, the user is encouraged totry to correct the interference byone or more of the following mea-sures:• Reorient or relocate the receivingantenna.• Increase the separation betweenthe equipment and receiver.• Connect the equipment into anoutlet on a circuit different fromthat to which the receiver is con-nected.• Consult the dealer or an experi-enced radio/television technicianfor help.Q5155_IM_EN.book Page vi Tuesday, October 31, 2006 7:07 PMviiNoticesIntroductionCAUTIONSModificationsThe FCC requires the user to benotified that any changes or modifi-cations made to this device that arenot expressly approved by NikonCorporation may void the user’sauthority to operate the equipment.Interface CablesUse the interface cables sold or pro-vided by Nikon for your equipment.Using other interface cables mayexceed the limits of Class B Part 15of the FCC rules.Notice for customers in the Stateof CaliforniaWARNING: Handling the cord onthis product will expose you to lead,a chemical known to the State ofCalifornia to cause birth defects orother reproductive harm.
