Warning: Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by Wi-Ex could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
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 the 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 to 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.
RF Exposure:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This
transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Industry Canada Regulations
Canada IC :5544A-YX500CEL
:5544A-YX500PCS
:5544A-YX510CEL
This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference Causing Equipment
Regulations. 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.
The term "IC:" before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada technical
specifications were met.
RF Exposure:
The manufacturer's rated output power of this equipment is for single carrier operation. For situations
when multiple carrier signals are present, the rating would have to be reduced by 3.5 dB, especially where
the output is re-radiated and can cause interference to adjacent band users. This power reduction is to be
by means of input power or gain reduction and not by an attenuator at the output of the device.

Cet appareillage numérique de la classe [B] répond à toutes les exigences de l'interférence canadienne
causant des règlements d'équipement. L'opération est sujette aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) ce
dispositif peut ne pas causer l'interférence nocive, et (2) ce dispositif doit accepter n'importe quelle
interférence reçue, y compris l'interférence qui peut causer l'opération peu désirée.
Le fabricant nominale de la puissance de sortie de ce matériel est simple transporteur. Pour les situations
lorsque plusieurs signaux porteurs sont présents, l'évaluation devrait être réduite de 3,5 dB, en particulier
lorsque le signal de sortie est ré-émise et peut provoquer des interférences adjacentes à la bande
utilisateurs. Ce pouvoir est de la réduction par le biais de la sortie d'alimentation ou la réduction de gain
et non par un atténuateur à la sortie du dispositif.
