Important: Changes or modifications to this product not authorized could void the EMC
and wireless compliance and negate your authority to operate the product. This product has
demonstrated EMC compliance under conditions that included the use of compliant peripheral
devices and shielded cables between system components. It is important that you use
compliant peripheral devices and shielded cables between system components to reduce the
possibility of causing interference to radios, televisions, and other electronic devices.
FCC Compliance Statement
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 interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Note: This equipment 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 equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Certification information (SAR) The device meets guidelines for exposure to radio
waves
Your device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for
exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were
developed by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety margins
designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure guidelines for devices employ a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the ICNIRP guidelines is 2.0
watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in
all tested frequency bands.
This equipment complies with the European Council Recommendation of 12 July 1999
on the Limitation of Exposure of the General Public to Electromagnetic Fields [1999/519/EC].
