Regulatory notes and statements 
Wireless LAN, Health and Authorisation for use 

Radio frequency electromagnetic energy is emitted from Wireless LAN devices. The energy levels of 
these emissions however are far less than the electromagnetic energy emissions from wireless 
devices like mobile phones. Wireless LAN devices are safe for use  as defined by the relevant 
frequency safety standards and recommendations. Note: The use of Wireless LAN devices may be 
restricted in some situations or environments for example: 
- On board Airplanes 
- In an explosive environment 
- Where interference risk to other devices or services is perceived or identified as harmful 
-  In organizations which enforce a policy regarding the use of Wireless LAN devices (e.g. airports, 
hospitals, chemical/oil/gas industrial plants, private buildings etc.). 

Regulatory Information/disclaimers 

Installation and use of this Wireless LAN device must be in strict accordance with the instructions 
included in the user documentation provided with the product. Any changes or modifications made to 
this device that are not expressly approved by the manufacturer may void the user’s authority to 
operate the equipment. The Manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or television interference 
caused by unauthorized modification of this device, or the substitution or attachment of additional 
antennas.  The Manufacturer and its authorized resellers/distributors will assume no liability for any 
damage or violation of government regulations arising from failing to comply with these guidelines. 

USA-FCC (Federal Communications Commission) statement 

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules. 
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 this device. 

FCC Radio Frequency Exposure statement 

This Wireless LAN radio device has been evalua ted under FCC Bulletin OET 65 and found compliant 
to the requirements as set forth in CFR 47 Sections 2.1091, 2.1093, and 15.247 (b) (4) addressing 
RF Exposure from radio frequency devices. The radiated output power of this Wireless LAN device is 
far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, this device shall be used in such a 
manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized. 
In order to comply with RF exposure limits established in the ANSI C95.1 standards, the distance 
between the antennas and the user should not be less than 20 cm. 

FCC Interference Statement 

This equipment 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 radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in 
accordance with the instructions, it 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 and correct the interference by one 
or more of the following measures: 
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. 
2. Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver. 
3. Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
