Notices for Customers in Canada
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Industry Canada licence-
exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of
the device.
FCC/IC RF Exposure Statement
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are
associated with using low power wireless devices.
 There is no proof, however,
that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wire-
less devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave
range while being used.
 Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects
(by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating
effects causes no known adverse health effects.
 Many studies of low-level RF
exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have sug-
gested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not
been confirmed by additional research.
 The 1 J5, which is equipped with a
DW092 (FCC ID:EW4DW092 / IC ID:4634A-3149EC) wireless LAN module, has
been tested and found to comply with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set
forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency
(RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplem ent C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC
radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.
 Please refer to the SAR test report that
was uploaded to FCC website.

Security
Although one of the benefits of this product is that it allows others to freely
connect for the wireless exchange of data anywhere within its range, the fol-
lowing may occur if security is not enabled:
• Data theft: Malicious third-parties may intercept wireless transmissions to
steal user IDs, passwords, and other personal information.
• Unauthorized access: Unauthorized user s may gain access to the network
and alter data or perform other malicious actions.
 Note that due the design
of wireless networks, specialized attacks may allow unauthorized access
even when security is enabled.
