Appendix E: Regulatory Information

FCC Statement

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.

This product has been tested and complies with the specifications 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 according to 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 is found 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 or devices

•• Connect the equipment to an outlet other than the receiver’s

•• Consult a dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for assistance

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.

For operation within the 5.15 ~ 5.25GHz frequency range, it is restricted to indoor environments.

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. End users mustfollowthespecificoperatinginstructionsforsatisfying RF exposure compliance. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, please follow operation instruction as documented in this manual.

This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

SAR compliance has been established in typical laptop computer(s) with ExpressCard, Cardbus, or USB slots, and this product can be used in a typical laptop computer with ExpressCard, Cardbus, or USB slots. Other applications

such as a handheld PC or similar device has not been verified and may not comply with related RF exposure rules and such use shall be prohibited.

The availability of some specific channels and/or operational frequency bands is country dependent and programmed at the factory to match the intended destination. This setting is not accessible by the end user.

Safety Notices

•• Caution: To reduce the risk of fire, use only No.26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord.

•• Do not use this product near water, for example, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.

•• Avoid using this product during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

WARNING: This product contains lead, known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

Wireless Disclaimer

The maximum performance for wireless is derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual performance can vary, including lower wireless network capacity, data throughput rate, range and coverage. Performance depends on many factors, conditions and variables, including distance from the access point, volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, operating system used, mix of wireless products used, interference and other adverse conditions.

Industry Canada Statement

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003 and RSS210.

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.

To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the EIRP is not more than required for successful communication.
