FCC Notice
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.
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 from that to which the
receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
The device may cause TV or radio interference if used in close proximity to
receiving equipment. The FCC can require you to stop using the device if such
interference cannot be eliminated. Vehicles using petroleum gas (such as
propane or butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard
(NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protection
Association, One Battery march Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn: Publication Sales
Division.
Cautions
Changes or modifications made in the radio device, not expressly approved by
Samsung, will void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
The use of any unauthorized accessories may be dangerous and void the device
warranty if said accessories cause damage or a defect to the device. Although
your device is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can be broken.
Avoid dropping, hitting, bending or sitting on it.
This device is capable of operating in Wi-Fi mode in the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands.
The FCC requires that devices operating within 5.15-5.25 GHz may only be used indoors,
not outside, in order to avoid interference with MobileSatellite Services (MSS).
Therefore, do not use this device outside as a Wi-Fi hotspot or in Wi-Fi Direct mode outside
when using the 5.15-5.25 GHz frequencies.
