CAUTION!
When using IEEE 802.11a wireless LAN [in Canada], this product is
restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15- to 5.25-
GHz frequency range. Industry Canada requires this product to be
used indoors for the frequency range of 5.15 GHz to 5.25 GHz to
reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile
satellite systems. High p
ower radar is allocated as the primary
user of the 5.25- to 5.35-GHz and 5.65 to 5.85-GHz bands. These
radar stations can cause interference with and/or damage to this
device.
