FCC COMPLIANCE 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 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:

• 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.

FCC CAUTION

This equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with provided instructions and a minimum 8
inches (20cm) spacing must be provided between computer mounted antenna and person’s body (excluding
extremities of hands, wrist and feet)during wireless modes of operation. 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.  Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the authority to operate equipment.

FCC RADIATION EXPOSURE STATEMENT

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure 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 8 inches (20cm) during normal operation. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-
located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Equipment and the mutual recognition of their conformity (R&TTE)

The R&TTE Directive repeals and replaces in the directive 98/13/EEC (Telecommunications Terminal Equipment
and Satellite Earth Station Equipment) As of April 8, 2000.

SAFETY

This equipment is designed with the utmost care for the safety of those who install and use it. However, special
attention must be paid to the dangers of electric shock and static electricity when working with electrical
equipment. All guidelines of this and of the computer manufacturer must therefore be allowed at all times to
