TATEMENT

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 determined by 

turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct 

the interference by one of the following measures:

◆

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna

◆

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver

◆

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to 

which the receiver is connected

◆

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help

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.

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 product available in the USA/Canada market, only channel 1~11 can be 

operated. Selection of other channels is not possible.

This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operation in 

conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

This device is going to be operated in 5.15~5.25GHz frequency range, it is 

restricted in indoor environment only.
