These limits are designed to providereasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. Thisequipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed andused in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radiocommunications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in aparticular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio ortelevision reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the useris encouraged to try to correct the interference by one 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 thatto which the receiver is connected.- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the followingtwo conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device mustaccept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsiblefor compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.IMPORTANT NOTE:FCC Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolledenvironment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cmbetween the radiator & your body.This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna ortransmitter.
High-Speed Wireless Mini PCI Adapter Version 1.0Page 21 of 21This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:1) The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna andusers, and2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna.As long as 2 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required. However, theOEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliancerequirements required with this module installed (for example, AP,Router, etc.).IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be met (for example certain APconfigurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longerconsidered valid and the FCC ID can not be used on the final product. In these circumstances, theOEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) andobtaining a separate FCC authorization.End Product LabelingThis transmitter module is authorized only for use in device where the antenna may be installed suchthat 20 cm may be maintained between the antenna and users (for example :WireLess LAN AP). Thefinal end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains TX FCC ID: NI3-AT30V216”. Manual Information That Must be Included The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end userregarding how to install or remove this RF module in the users manual of the endproduct which integrate this module. The users manual for OEM integrators must include the following information in aprominent location “ IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliancerequirements, the antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separationdistance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating inconjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
