RF-exposure statement
When the product is equipped with a wireless interface, then it becomes a mobile or fixed mounted modular transmitter
and must have a separation distance of at least 20 cm (8 inches) between the antenna and the body of the user or
nearby persons. In practice, this means that the user or nearby persons must have a distance of at least 20 cm (8 inches)
from the modem and must not lean on the modem in case it is wall-mounted.
With a separation distance of 20 cm (8 inches) or more, the M(aximum) P(ermissible) E(xposure) limits are well above
the potential this module is capable to produce.
For operation within 5.15 ~ 5.25GHz frequency range, it is restricted to indoor environment. This device meets all the
other requirements specified in Part 15E, Section 15.407 of the FCC Rules.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Restricted frequency band
This product is equipped with an IEEE802.11b/IEEE802.11g/IEEE802.11n wireless transceiver and may only use
