ii D-Link DWR-921 User Manua\f FCC Regulat\fons This device comp\fies with part 15 of the FCC Ru\fes. Operation is subject to the fo\f\fowin\b two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmfu\f interference, and (2) this devi\uce must accept any interference received, inc\fudin\b interference that may cause undesired operation. This device has been tested and found to comp\fy with the \fimits for a C\fass B di\bita\f device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Ru\fes. These \fimits are desi\bned to provide reasonab\fe protection a\bainst harmfu\f interference in a residentia\f insta\f\fation. This equipment \benerates, uses and can radiate radio frequency ener\by and, if not insta\f\fed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmfu\f interference to radio communications. However, there is no \buarantee that interference wi\f\f not occur in a particu\far insta\f\fation If this equipment does cause harmfu\f interference to radio or te\fevision reception, which can be determined by turnin\b the equipment off and on, the user is encoura\bed to try to correct the interference by one or more of the fo\f\fowin\b measures: • Reorient or re\focate the receivin\b antenna. • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. • Connect the equipment into an out\fet on a cir\ucuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. • Consu\ft the dea\fer or \uan experienced radio/TV technician for he\fp. Chan\bes or modifications not express\fy approved by the party responsib\fe for comp\fiance cou\fd void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-\focated or operatin\b in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. This device comp\fies with FCC radiation exposure \fimits set forth for an uncontro\f\fed environment. In order to avoid the possibi\fity of exceedin\b the FCC radio frequency exposure \fimits, human proximity to the antenna sha\f\f not be \fes\us than 20cm (8 inche\us) durin\b norma\f operation.
