FCC Regulations
§ 15.19 (a)(3)
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. 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.
§ 15.21
Changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.
****************************************************************
************************************************************
§ 15.105 (b)
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 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:
—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 or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for
exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S. Government. The exposure standard for wireless
devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specic Absorption Rate
(SAR). The SAR limit adopted by the FCC is 1.6W/kg for an uncontrolled
environment. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency bands. The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certied power level, the actual
SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value.
This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as
to use only the poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you
are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
