FCC NOTICE (USA 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 harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, 
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 equipment has been approved for mobile operation and requires minim\
um 20 cm spacing be provided 
between antennas and all person’s body (excluding extremities of hands, wrist and feet) during wireless modes 
of operation. 
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 ef fects. Some studies have suggested 
that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research.
Wireless LAN adaptor 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.
