FCC STATEMENT

WARNING: Any changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate

this equipment.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class B digital devices, 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 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 harmful interference is suspected, the user should

determine its cause by turning the equipment o 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 the receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dierent from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the supplier or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

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.

FCC 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, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the

FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest

certied power level in all tested frequency bands. 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. While there may be dierences between the SAR levels of

various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
