FCC/IC Radio Frequency Exposure
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 following model (Table 1) that is conformitied has been tested and found to comply with FCC/IC radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure
Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.
Table 1
(FCC) Please refer to the SAR test report that was uploaded at FCC website.
(IC) Please refer to the information that consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada's Website.
This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating with any other antenna or transmitter except Grant
condition. Users are not permitted to modify this transmitter device. Any unauthorized changes made to this device
could void your authority to operate this device.

Exposition aux radiofréquences FCC/IC
Selon les preuves scientifiques disponibles, aucun problème de santé n'est associé à l'utilisation d'appareils sans fil
de faible puissance. Rien ne prouve cependant que ces appareils sont absolument sans danger. Lorsqu'ils sont
utilisés, les appareils sans fil de faible puissance émettent de faibles niveaux d'énergie radiofréquence (RF) dans la
gamme des hyperfréquences. Bien que les niveaux élevés de radiofréquence puissent avoir un effet sur la santé
(réchauffement des tissus), l'exposition à de faibles niveaux n'ayant pas d'effet thermique n'a aucun impact négatif
connu sur la santé. De nombreuses études sur l'exposition aux radiofréquences de faible niveau n'ont révélé aucun
effet biologique. Certaines d'entre elles ont sous-entendu qu'il pourrait y avoir de tels effets, mais leurs résultats n'ont
pas été confirmés par des recherches supplémentaires.
Le modèle suivant (Tableau 1) a été testé et s'est avéré conforme aux limites d'exposition aux rayonnements définies
par la FCC et IC pour les équipements non contrôlés ; il répond aux règles sur l'exposition aux rayonnements RF
(radiofréquence) figurant dans le Supplément C de la norme OET65 de la FCC et à celles de la norme RSS-102 d'IC.

Cet appareil et sa ou ses antennes ne doivent pas être placés à proximité d'autres antennes ou émetteurs ni
fonctionner avec eux, sauf dans la condition Grant. Les utilisateurs ne sont pas autorisés à modifier cet émetteur.
Toute modification apportée à cet émetteur peut annuler vos droits d'utilisation de l'appareil.
IC RSS-210 (Canada)
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 of the
device.
To prevent radio interference to the licensed service, this device is intended to be operated indoors and away from
windows to provide maximum shielding. Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is installed outdoors is subject to
licensing.
L’utilisation de ce dispositif est autorisée seulement aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) il ne doit pas produire de
brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur du dispositif doit être prêt à accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique reçu, même si ce
brouillage est susceptible de compromettre le fonctionnement du dispositif.
Pour empêcher que cet appareil cause du brouillage au service faisant l’objet d’une licence, il doit être utilisé à
l’intérieur et devrait être placé loin des fenêtres afin de fournir un écran de blindage maximal. Si le matériel (ou son
antenne d’émission) est installé à l’extérieur, il doit faire l’objet d’une licence.
