Appendix Power Wall Plug Repeater 39 B. Wireless Considerations Connection Performance A number of factors affect wireless connections. To ensure high-range and stable connectivity, do the following: 1. Keep the Repeater and other wireless devices away from obstructions, such as walls or buildings. Each obstruction can reduce the range of a wireless device. 2. Keep the Repeater and other wireless devices away from devices that produce radio frequency (RF) noise, such as microwave ovens or radios. 3. Keep the Repeater and other wireless devices away from any device operating on the 2.4GHz frequency, such as cordless phones or remote controls. Security Checklist Wireless network signals can be intercepted easily. To prevent unauthorized users from connecting to your wireless network, follow the guidelines below. 1. Change the default wireless network name. Your device has a default Service Set Identifier (SSID) which is the wireless network name. Change the SSID with a unique name to identify your network. The SSID can be up to 32 characters in length. 2. Change the default password. Your device has a default password. You have to enter this password to change your network settings. Change the password to prevent unauthorized users from hacking into your network and changing the settings. 3. Enable MAC address filtering. Your device supports Media Access Control (MAC) address filtering. You can assign a MAC address on each computer that you want to connect to your wireless network. When MAC address filtering is enabled, only the computers with the specified MAC addresses are allowed access. 4. Enable encryption Your device supports Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WAP/WPA2) encryption. To ensure a high level of security, enable the highest security encryption and use strong passphrases, avoid using words that can be found in the dictionary.

FCC (Federal Communications Commission) Statement 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 of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Appendix Power Wall Plug Repeater 41 • 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. FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. 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 my cause undesired operation of this device. Operation of this device is restricted to indoor use only. IMPORTANT NOTE: FCC Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. The availability of some specific channels and/or operational frequency bands are country dependent and are firmware programmed at the factory to match the intended destination. The firmware setting is not accessible by the end user. RF Exposure Notice: To comply with FCC/IC RF Exposure Limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment, the product must be installed and operated with a minimum separation distance (between nearby person(s) and radiating antenna) according to the following scenarios: 1. 20cm minimum when the product is operated alone without co-transmitting with a plug-in 3G USB dongle device. 2. 45cm minimum when the product is operated with a plug-in 3G USB device which has a maximum of 7W ERP output power. 3. For co-transmission scenario which is not covered above, please consult the RF technician or device supplier.
Appendix Power Wall Plug Repeater 42 CE statement Europe – EU Declaration of Conformity This device complies with the essential requirements of the R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC. The following test methods have been applied in order to prove presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC: EN60950-1: 2006 Safety of Information Technology Equipment EN 50385: 2002 Product standard to demonstrate the compliance of radio base stations and fixed terminal stations for wireless telecommunication systems with the basic restrictions or the reference levels related to human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields (110MHz - 40 GHz) - General public EN 300 328 V1.7.1 (2006-10) Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM); Wideband transmission systems; Data transmission equipment operating in the 2,4 GHz ISM band and using wide band modulation techniques; Harmonized EN covering essential requirements under article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive EN 301 489-1 V1.8.1 (2008-04) Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio Spectrum Matters (ERM); ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standard for radio equipment and services; Part 1: Common technical requirements EN 301 489-17 V2.1.1 (2009-05) Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM); ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standard for radio equipment; Part 17: Specific conditions for Broadband Data Transmission Systems. This device is a 2.4 GHz wideband transmission system (transceiver), intended for use in all EU member states and EFTA countries, except in France and Italy where restrictive use applies. In Italy the end-user should apply for a license at the national spectrum authorities in order to obtain authorization to use the device for setting up outdoor radio links and/or for supplying public access to telecommunications and/or network services. This device may not be used for setting up outdoor radio links in France and in some areas the RF output power may be limited to 10 mW EIRP in the frequency range of 2454 – 2483.5 MHz. For detailed information the end-user should contact the national spectrum authority in France.
