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 prevent radio interference to the licensed service (i.e. co-channel Mobile Satellite 
systems) this device is intended to be operated indoors and away from windows to 
provide maximum shielding. Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is installed 
outdoors is subject to licensing.
Because high power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they have priority) 
in 5250-5350 MHz, these radars could cause interference and/or damage to license 
exempt LAN devices.
This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of 2 
dBi. Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry 
Canada. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
