Regulatory notes and statements 

Wireless LAN, Health and Authorization for use 

Radio frequency electromagnetic energy is emitted from Wireless LAN devices. 
The energy levels of these emissions however are far much less than the 
electromagnetic energy emissions from wireless devices like for example mobile 
phones. Wireless LAN devices are safe for use frequency safety standards and 
recommendations. The use of Wireless LAN devices may be restricted in some 
situations or environments for example: 

z

 

On board of airplanes, or 

z

 

In an explosive environment, or 

z

 

In case the interference risk to other devices or services is perceived or 
identified as harmful 

In case the policy regarding the use of Wireless LAN devices in specific 
organizations or environments (e.g. airports, hospitals, chemical/oil/gas industrial 
plants, private buildings etc.) is not clear, please ask for authorization to use these 
devices prior to operating the equipment. 

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

Federal Communication Commission 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 
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
