Notes on water resistant feature
(Read before using the unit)
Water resistant performance of the unit
This unit has a water resistant specification*1 of IPX3*2 as specified in “Degrees of
protection against ingress of water” of the IEC60529 “Ingress Protection Rating (IP Code).”
However, this unit is not completely water-tight.
Do not drop the unit into water or purposely use it in water.
Liquids that the water resistant performance specifications apply to
Applicable : fresh water, tap water
Not applicable : liquids other than the above (soapy water, water with
detergent or bath agents, shampoo, hot spring water,
pool water, seawater, etc.)
*1 The supplied accessories are not water resistant.
*2 IPX3 (Protected against spraying water.): For details, refer to Help Guide.
The water resistant performance of the unit is based on our measurements
under the conditions herein described. Note that malfunctions as a result of
water immersion caused by misuse by the customer are not covered by the
warranty.
To avoid the deterioration of the water resistant performance
Check the following and use the unit correctly.
Do not use or leave the unit in an extremely hot or cold environment (temperature
outside the range of 5 °C – 35 °C (41 °F – 95 °F)). If the unit is used or left in outside the
above range, the unit may automatically stop to protect internal circuitry.
Be careful not to drop the unit or subject it to mechanical shock. Deformation or damage
may cause deterioration of the water resistant performance.
Do not use the unit in a location where large amount of water or hot water may splash
on it. The unit does not have a design that is resistant to water pressure. Use of the unit
in the above location may cause a malfunction.
Do not pour high-temperature water or blow hot air from a hair dryer or any other
appliance on the unit directly. Also, never use the unit in high temperature locations such
as in saunas or near a stove.
How to care for the unit when wet
If the unit gets wet, first remove the water from the unit, and then wipe off the moisture
on the unit using a soft, dry cloth. Especially in cold regions, leaving moisture on its surface
may cause the unit to freeze and malfunction. Be sure to wipe off the moisture after using
the unit.
Put the unit on towel or dry cloth. Then leave it at room temperature and dry the unit until
no moisture remains.

For customers in the USA
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.
This equipment complies with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines
and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment has very low
levels of RF energy that is deemed to comply without maximum permissive exposure
evaluation (MPE). But it is desirable that it should be installed and operated keeping the
radiator at least 20 cm or more away from person’s body.
This equipment must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna
or transmitter.
If your skin touches the AC adaptor or this product for a long time when the power is on, it
may cause a low temperature injury.
For customers in Canada
CAN ICES-3 B/NMB-3 B
This device complies with Industry Canada’s licence-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.
High-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e. priority users) of the bands
5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz and that these radars could cause interference and/
or damage to LE-LAN devices.
Compliance with FCC requirement 15.407(c)
Data transmission is always initiated by software, which is the passed down through the
MAC, through the digital and analog baseband, and finally to the RF chip. Several special
packets are initiated by the MAC. These are the only ways the digital baseband portion will
turn on the RF transmitter, which it then turns off at the end of the packet. Therefore, the
transmitter will be on only while one of the aforementioned packets is being transmitted.
In other words, this unit automatically discontinues transmission in case of either absence
of information to transmit or operational failure.
Frequency Tolerance: ±12ppm
5150-5350 MHz band is restricted to indoor operation only.
5.47-5.725 GHz band is restricted to indoor operations only.
