- Page 2 OBSERVE WARNINGS: All warnings in the operating instructions should be carefully followed. Do not make any modifications to the WEM, PIM, or any other MicroTek electronic device, as the unit will no longer comply with FCC regulations and therefore cancel its warranty.
- Page 3 Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee a successful application based on a drawing, application note, quote or other type of material that MicroTek may provide. Should a quote, drawing, etc. be made available, it is based on the performance of the WES product in an ideal environment with clear line-of-sight, absence of 5 GHz interference and/or frequency multi-path reflection.
- Page 4 As of July 20, 2007, a new FCC regulation has gone into effect which impacts operators of the U-NII band in the United States. As a result of this regulatory change, several MicroTek products are affected. The new FCC regulation impacts the sale of wireless equipment in the 5.25-5.35 GHz band.
