FCC REGULATORY INFORMATION
Please note the following regulatory information related to the optional wireless LAN module.
Regulatory Notes and Statements
Wireless LAN, Health and Authorization for use
Radio frequency electromagnetic energy is emitted from Wireless LAN devices. The energy levels of these emissions, however, are much
less than the electromagnetic energy emissions from wireless devices such as mobile phones. Wireless LAN devices are safe for use by
consumers because they operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations. The use of
Wireless LAN devices may be restricted in some situations or environments, such as:
• On board an airplane, or
• In an explosive environment, or
• In situations where the interference risk to other devices or services is perceived or identified as harmful.
In cases in which the policy regarding use of Wireless LAN devices in specific environments is not clear (e.g., airports, hospitals, chem-
ical/oil/gas industrial plants, private buildings), obtain authorization to use these devices prior to operating the equipment.
Regulatory Information/Disclaimers
Installation and use of this Wireless LAN device must be in strict accordance with the instructions included in the user documentation
provided with the product. Any changes or modifications made to this device that are not expressly approved by the manufacturer may
void the user's authority to operate the equipment. The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or television interference caused
by unauthorized modification of this device, or the substitution or attachment of connecting cables and equipment other than those
specified by the manufacturer. It is the responsibility of the user to correct any interference caused by such unauthorized modification,
substitution or attachment. The manufacturer and its authorized resellers or distributors will assume no liability for any damage or
violation of government regulations arising from failure to comply with these guidelines.
This device must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
For Atheros Wireless LAN:
For operation within 5.15~5.25GHz frequency range, it is restricted to indoor environment, and the antenna of this device must be inte-
gral.
Federal Communications Commission statement
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC 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.
FCC Interference Statement
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. If not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, it may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installa-
tion.
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 and correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver.
3. Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from the one the receiver is connected to.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Radio Frequency 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 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
exposure 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. The wireless LAN radio device has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C
to OET65.
