Safety Notices
1. Read, follow, and keep these instructions.
2. Heed all warnings.
3. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
WARNING: Do not use this product in location that can be
submerged by water.
WARNING: Avoid using this product during an electrical
storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from
lightning.
Electrical Safety Information
1. Compliance is required with respect to voltage, frequency, and
current requirements indicated on the manufacturer’s label.
Connection to a different power source than those specified
may result in improper operation, damage to the equipment or
pose a fire hazard if the limitations are not followed.
2. There are no operator serviceable parts inside this equipment.
Service should be provided only by a qualified service
technician.
3. This equipment is provided with a detachable power cord
which has an integral safety ground wire intended for
connection to a grounded safety outlet.

Compliance
Compliance
FCC
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operations of this equipment in a residential area is likely
to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to
correct the interference at his own expense.
For MPE and antenna usage details, please visit our website at
www.ubnt.com/compliance
Industry Canada
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate
using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the
transmitter by Industry Canada.
To reduce potential radio inteference to other users, the antenna type
and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically
radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for successful
communication.
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-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.
En vertu des règlements d'Industrie Canada, cet émetteur radio ne peut
fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et un maximum (ou moins)
approuvés pour gagner de l'émetteur par Industrie Canada.
Pour réduire le risque d'interférence aux autres utilisateurs, l'antenne
type et son gain doivent être choisies de façon que l'équivalent puissance
isotrope rayonnée équivalente (pire) n'est pas plus que cela autorisé pour
une communication réussie.
Et Cet appareil est conforme à la norme RSS Industrie Canada exempts de
licence norme (s). Son fonctionnement est soumis aux deux conditions
suivantes:
1. Cet appareil ne peut pas provoquer d'interférences et
2. Cet appareil doit accepter toute interférence, y compris les
interférences susceptibles de provoquer un fonctionnement du
dispositif.

RF Exposure Warning
The transceiver described here emits radio frequency energy. Although
the power level is low, the concentrated energy from a directional antenna
may pose a health hazard. Do not allow people to come closer than 55.53
cm to the antenna when the transmitter is operating.
Additional information on RF exposure is available on the Internet at www.
fcc.gov/oet/info/documents/bulletins
L'émetteur-récepteur décrit ici émet de l'énergie de fréquence radio. Bien
que le niveau de puissance est faible, l'énergie concentrée à partir d'une
antenne directionnelle peut présenter un danger pour la santé. Ne pas
permettre aux gens de se rapprocher de 55.53 cm à l'antenne lorsque
l'émetteur est en marche.
Des renseignements supplémentaires sur l'exposition aux RF est
disponible sur Internet à www.fcc.gov/oet/info/documents/bulletins
