FCC Statement:
Thisdevice complieswith Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device maynot cause harmful interference.
(2) Thisdevicemust acceptanyinterference received, including interference that maycause undesired
operation.
Thisequipment hasbeen tested and found to complywith the limitsfor a class Bdigital device, pursuant to
part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limitsaredesigned to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation.
Thisequipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequencyenergyand, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, maycause harmful interference to radio communications. However,there
isno guaranteethat interference will not occurina particular installation. Ifthis equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio ortelevision reception, which can be determined byturning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to tryto correct the interference byone or more of the following measures:
---Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
---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 oran experienced radio/TV technician forhelp.
Installation and use of this WirelessLAN device mustbe in strict accordance with the instructions included
in the userdocumentation provided with the product.Anychanges or modifications (including the antennas)
madeto this device that are not expresslyapproved bythe manufacturermayvoid the user s authorityto
operate the equipment. The manufacturer isnotresponsiblefor anyradio ortelevision interferencecaused

Modular Approval
Thisdevice is intended onlyform OEMintegrator underthe followingconditions:
1) The antenna must be installed such that 20cm is maintained between the antenna and users, and
2) The transmitter module maynot be co-located with anyothertransmitterorantenna.
IMPORTANTNOTE: In the event that these conditionscannot be met (forexample certain laptop
configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered
valid and the FCC IDcannot be used on the final product.In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will
be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC
authorization.
End Product Labeling
This transmitter module isauthorized onlyfor usein deviceswherethe antennamaybe installed suchthat
20 cm maybemaintained between the antenna and users (for example accesspoints,routers,wireless
ADSLmodems, andsimilar equipment).The final end product mustbe labeled in visible area withthe
following:
“Contains TX FCC ID: RRK2004110167-1
End Product Manual Information
The usermanual for end usersmust include the following information in aprominent location “IMPORTANT
NOTE: TocomplywithFCC RF exposurecompliance requirements,the antenna used for thistransmitter
mustbe installed to provide aseparation distance of at least 20cm fromall persons and mustnot be
co-located or operating in conjunction with anyother antenna or transmitter.”
