FCC and other information
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.
CAUTION:
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate this device.
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.
Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and
VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, the range extender should not be placed near
or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, move the range extender and cordless
telephone further away from the TV or VCR. This will often reduce, or eliminate, interference.
FCC RF Exposure Warning:
LThis product complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment.
LTo comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, the range extender must be installed and
operated 20 cm (8 inches) or more between the product and all person’s body (excluding
extremities of hands, wrist and feet).
LThis product may not be collocated or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
