Regulatory Information
FCC Information
This 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.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Statement:
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 in a commercial 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 or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the WMC6300 and radio or television receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
• Consult the supplier of the WMC6300 or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement
CAUTION: This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for
an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a
minimum distance of 20 cm between the antenna and your body.

Safety Information for the WMC6300
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with its action in ET Docket 96-8 has adopted
a safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted
by FCC certified equipment. MeshNetworks’ products meet the uncontrolled
environmental limits found in OET-65 and ANSI C95.1, 1991. Proper operation of this radio
according to the instructions found in this manual and the hardware and software guides on the
CD will result in user exposure that is substantially below the FCC recommended limits.
• Do not touch or move the antenna(s) while the unit is transmitting or receiving.
• Do not hold any component containing a radio such that the antenna is very close to or
touching any exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.
• Do not operate a portable transmitter near unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive
environment unless it is a type especially qualified for such use.
• Do not operate the radio or attempt to transmit data unless the antenna is connected;
otherwise, the radio may be damaged.
• Antenna use:
• In order to comply with FCC RF exposure limits, dipole antennas should be located
at a minimum distance of 7.9 inches (20 cm) or more from the body of all persons.
WARNING
Use the antenna supplied by MeshNetworks.
Use of other antennas is prohibited may violate FCC regulations.
NOTE: The manufacturer is not responsible for any unauthorized modifications to this
equipment. Such modifications could void the user’s authority.
