Check the marking labels and refer to the corresponding statements in this appendix. Some notices apply to specic models only.Regulatory Information
A-2 Regulatory InformationFCC RegulationsThis 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.This device 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 radiated 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.Changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.Operation on the 5.15-5.25GHz frequency band is restricted to indoor use only. The FCC requires indoor use for the 5.15-5.25GHz band to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite Systems. Therefore, it will only transmit on the 5.25-5.35 GHz, 5.47-5.725 GHz and 5.725 –5.850 GHz band when associated with an access point (AP).
A-3Regulatory InformationRF Exposure Information (SAR) This device is compliance with SAR for general population /uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1999 and had been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and procedures specied in OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C.This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This device was tested for operations with the device contacted directly to the human body to the back side of the EUT. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, avoid direct contact to the transmitted antenna during transmitting.IC RegulationsThis device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). 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.Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.”This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.The device could automatically discontinue transmission in case of absence of information to transmit, or operational failure. Note that this is not intended to prohibit transmission of control or signaling information or the use of repetitive codes where required by the technology.
A-4 Regulatory InformationThe device for the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor usage to reduce potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems; the maximum antenna gain permitted (for devices in the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5470-5725 MHz) to comply with the e.i.r.p. limit; and The maximum antenna gain permitted (for devices in the band 5725-5850 MHz) to comply with the e.i.r.p. limits specied for point-to-point and non point-to-point operation as appropriate, as stated in section A9.2(3). In addition, High-power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they have priority) of the band 5250-5350 MHz and this radar could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.The County Code Selection feature is disabled for products marketed in the US/Canada. For product available in the USA/ Canada markets, only channel 1~11 can be operated. Selection of other channels is not possible.Important NoteIC Radiation Exposure StatementThis EUT is compliance with SAR for general population/uncontrolled exposure limits in IC RSS-102 and had been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and procedures specied in IEEE 1528.
