[Regulatory Information
This equipment must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna 
or transmitter.
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 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 suggested that 
some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by 
additional research. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with FCC 
radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment 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.

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:

– 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.
The supplied interface cable must be used with the equipment in order to comply with the 
limits for a digital device pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC Rules.
