Certificate of the Manufacturer/Importer 

It is hereby certified that the Model MA301 Wireless PCI Adapter has been suppressed in accordance with the conditions set 

out in the BMPT- AmtsblVfg 243/1991 and Vfg 46/1992. The operation of some equipment (for example, test transmitters) 
in accordance with the regulations may, however, be subject to certain restrictions. Please refer to the notes in the operating 

instructions.  

Federal Office for Telecommunications Approvals has been notified of the placing of this equipment on the market and has 
been granted the right to test the series for compliance with the regulations. 

 

VCCI Statement 

This equipment is in the Class B category (information equipment to be used in a residential area or an adjacent area thereto) 
and conforms to the standards set by the Voluntary Control Council for Interference by Data Processing Equipment and 

Electronic Office Machines aimed at preventing radio interference in such residential areas. 

When used near a radio or TV receiver, it may become the cause of radio interference. Read instructions for correct handling. 
 

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Compliance Notice: Radio Frequency Notice 

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 

This device may not cause harmful interference. 
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired 

operation. 

 

 

Note: 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 or more of the following measures: (1) Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna, (2) Increase the 

separation between the equipment and receiver, (3) Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different 
from that to which the receiver is connected, (4) Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for 

help. 

 

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Radiation Exposure Statement 

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.  In order to avoid the 
possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna shall not be less than 20 

cm (8 inches) during normal operation. 
 

EN 55 022 Statement 

This is to certify that the Model MA301 Wireless PCI Adapter is shielded against the generation of radio interference in 

accordance with the application of Council Directive 89/336/EEC, Article 4a. Conformity is declared by the application of 

EN 55 022 Class B (CISPR 22). 
Compliance is dependent upon the use of shielded data cables. 

 

Canadian Department of Communications Radio Interference Regulations 

This digital apparatus (Model MA301 Wireless PCI Adapter) does not exceed the Class B limits for radio-noise emissions 
from digital apparatus as set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.
