FCC REQUIREMENT
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.
FCC WARNING:
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
manufacturer for compliance could void the user's authority to
operate the equipment.
FCC NOTICE:
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 and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with 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.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
This manual show that both the specification of Bluetooth and
wireless LAN. Please refer to the corresponding section which
shows specification of Bluetooth or wireless LAN.
Wireless LAN specification:
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health
problems are associated with using low power wireless
devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power
wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless
devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the
microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF
can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to
low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no
known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF
exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies
have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but
such findings have not been confirmed by additional research.
The MB400i-W2/MB410i-W2 has been tested and found to
comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for
uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio frequency
(RF) Exposure Guideline in Supplement C to OET65. Please
refer to the SAR test report that was uploaded at FCC website.
Bluetooth specification:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set
forth for uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio
frequency (RF) Exposure Guideline in Supplement C to
OET65. This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that is
deemed to comply without testing of specific absorption radio
(SAR).
Properly shielded a grounded cables and connectors must be
used for connection to host computer and / or peripherals in
order to meet FCC emission limits.
AC adaptor with ferrite core must be used for RF interference
suppression.
