2.  This device must accept any interference received, including interference that 

may cause undesired operation. 

FCC ID: MKZAZY2411BT 

 

FCC Rules and Regulations - Part 15 
Warning: 

This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a 

Class B digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the Federal Communications 
Commissions Rules and Regulations. These limits are designed to provide 
reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is 
operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can 
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with 
the instruction manual, 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: 

.  

Relocate your WLAN equipped laptop computer. 

Increase the separation between the WLAN equipped laptop computer and 

other electronics. 

.  

Connect the WLAN equipped laptop computer into an outlet on a circuit 
different from that of other electronics. 

.  

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

 
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement 

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an 
uncontrolled environment.  This equipment should be installed and operated with 
minimum distance of 20cm between the radiator & your body. 
 

Caution: 

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by OTC 

Wireless could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 

 
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction 
with any other antenna or transmitter.
