Precautions of Wireless LAN AdaptorThe following limits are in place regarding the usage of this device. You must be 
aware of these limits before using this device.
Panasonic will in no way be responsible for any incidental damage which 
may arise due to a failure to obey these limits, or to any condition of use or 
disuse of this device.
≥Do not use this device to connect to any wireless network for which 
you do not have usage rights.
During automatic searches in a wireless network environment, wireless net-
works (SSID*) for which you do not have usage rights may be displayed; how-
ever, using these networks may be regarded as illegal access.
* An SSID (Service Set IDentification) is a name used by wireless LAN to 
identify a particular network. Transmission is possible if the SSID 
matches for both devices.
≥ Data transmitted and received over radio waves may be intercepted 
and monitored.
≥ This wireless LAN adaptor contains delicate electronic components.
Please use this adaptor in the manner in which it was intended and 
follow the following points:
– Do not expose the adaptor to high temperatures or direct sunlight.
– Do not bend, or subject the adaptor to strong impacts.
– Keep the adaptor away from moisture.
– Do not disassemble or alter the adaptor in any way.
– Do not attempt to install the adaptor in any incompatible device.
Wireless LAN Adaptor is prohibited from export or bringing into nations* 
upon which the United States place embargoes.
Wireless LAN Adaptor is subject to Export Administration Regulations 
(EAR) due to the installation of encryption device made in the United 
States. (Current as of November 2009)
* Cuba, Iran, Syria, North Korea, Sudan etc.
THE FOLLOWING APPLIES IN THE U.S.A. AND CANADA.This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and RSS-Gen of IC Rules.
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 this device.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with 
any other antenna or transmitter.
This product is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to 
5.25 GHz frequency range.
FCC and IC require this product to be used indoors for the frequency 
range 5.15 to 5.25 GHz to reduce the potential for harmful interference to 
co-channel Mobile Satellite systems. High power radars are allocated as 
primary users of the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz and 5.65 to 5.85 GHz bands. These 
radar stations can cause interference with and/or damage this product.
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 Wireless 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 to 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 suggested that some biological effects might 
occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. 
Wireless LAN adaptor (DY-WL10) has been tested and found to comply 
with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled 
equipment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines 
in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) 
Exposure rules. 
THE FOLLOWING APPLIES ONLY IN THE U.S.A.
FCC 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:
≥ 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: To maintain compliance with FCC regulations, shielded 
interface cables must be used with this equipment. Operation with 
non-approved equipment or unshielded cables may result in interference 
to radio and TV reception. Any changes or modifications not approved by 
the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to 
operate this equipment.
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.
