Regulatory Statement
Product Information
USA
Federal Communications Comission (FCC)
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. Operation 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.

The 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. The wireless adapter meets the Human Exposure limits found
in OET Bulletin 65, supplement C, 2001, and ANSI/IEEE C95.1, 1992. Proper operation of this radio according to the
instructions found in this manual will result in exposure substantially below the FCC's recommended limits.
The following safety precautions should be observed:
● Do not touch or move antenna while the unit is transmitting or receiving.
● Do not hold any component containing the radio such that the antenna is very close or touching any exposed parts of
the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.
The built in wireless adapter is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency range. FCC
requires the built in wireless adapter to be used indoors for the frequency range 5.15 to 5.25 GHz to reduce the potential for
harmful interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite systems. High power radars are allocated as primary users of the 5.25 to
5.35 GHz and 5.65 to 5.85 GHz bands. These radar stations can cause interference with and/or damage this wireless
adapter.
Use in specific environments
The use of wireless adapters in hazardous locations is limited by the constraints posed by the safety directors of such
environments.
● The use of wireless adapters on airplanes is governed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and as set forth by
each airline.
● The use of wireless adapters in hospitals is restricted to the limits set forth by each hospital.
Explosive Device Proximity Warning
Warning: Do not operate this portable transmitter near unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive environment.
Use On Aircraft Caution
Caution: Regulations of the FCC, FAA and individual airlines prohibit airborne operation of some radio-frequency wireless
devices (wireless adapters) because their signals could interfere with critical aircraft instruments.
Local Restrictions on 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.16e Radio Usage
Caution: Due to the fact that the frequencies used by 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.16e wireless LAN
devices may not yet be harmonized in all countries, 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.16e products are
designed for use only in specific countries, and are not allowed to be operated in countries other than those of designated
use. As a user of these products, you are responsible for ensuring that the products are used only in the countries for which
they were intended and for verifying that they are configured with the correct selection of frequency and channel for the
