Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
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 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
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. 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.
IMPORTANT NOTE: FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment.
This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance
of 20 centimeters (8 inches) between the radiator and your body. This transmitter must
not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Wireless 5 GHz Band Statement:
As the access point can operate in the 5150-5250 MHz frequency band it is limited by the
FCC, Industry Canada and some other countries to indoor use only so as to reduce the
potential
for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite systems.
High power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they have priority) of the
5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz bands. These radars could cause interference and/
or damage to the access point.
i

VCCI Notice
This is a class A product based on the standard of the Voluntary Control Council for
Interference
by Information Technology Equipment (VCCI). If this equipment is used in a
domestic
environment, radio disturbance may arise. When such trouble occurs, the user
may
be required to take corrective actions.
EC Conformance Declaration
Marking by the above symbol indicates compliance with the Essential Requirements of
the
R&TTE Directive of the European Union (1999/5/EC). This equipment meets the
following
conformance standards:
• EN 60950 (IEC 60950) - Product Safety
• EN 301 893 - Technical requirements for 5 GHz radio equipment
• EN 300 328 - Technical requirements for 2.4 GHz radio equipment
• EN 301 489-1 / EN 301 489-17 - EMC requirements for radio equipment
Countries of Operation & Conditions of Use in the European
Community
This device is intended to be operated in all countries of the European Community.
Requirements
for indoor vs. outdoor operation, license requirements and allowed
channels
of operation apply in some countries as described below:
Note: The user must use the configuration utility provided with this product to ensure the
channels
of operation are in conformance with the spectrum usage rules for
European
Community countries as described below.
• This device requires that the user or installer properly enter the current country of
operation
in the command line interface as described in the user guide, before operating
this device.
• This device will automatically limit the allowable channels determined by the current
country
of operation. Incorrectly entering the country of operation may result in illegal
operation
and may cause harmful interference to other system. The user is obligated to
ensure
the device is operating according to the channel limitations, indoor/outdoor
restrictions
and license requirements for each European Community country as
described
in this document.
ii

• This device employs a radar detection feature required for European Community
operation in the 5 GHz band. This feature is automatically enabled when the country of
operation
is correctly configured for any European Community country. The presence of
nearby
radar operation may result in temporary interruption of operation of this device.
The
radar detection feature will automatically restart operation on a channel free of
radar.
• The 5 GHz Turbo Mode feature is not allowed for operation in any European Community
country.
The current setting for this feature is found in the 5 GHz 802.11a Radio Settings
Window
as described in the user guide.
• The 5 GHz radio's Auto Channel Select setting described in the user guide must always
remain
enabled to ensure that automatic 5 GHz channel selection complies with
European requirements. The current setting for this feature is found in the 5 GHz
802.11a Radio Settings Window as described in the user guide.
• This device may be operated indoors or outdoors in all countries of the European
Community using the 2.4 GHz band: Channels 1 - 13, except where noted below.
- In Italy the end-user must apply for a license from the national spectrum authority to
operate
this device outdoors.
- In Belgium outdoor operation is only permitted using the 2.46 - 2.4835 GHz band:
Channel
13.
- In France outdoor operation is only permitted using the 2.4 - 2.454 GHz band:
Channels
1 - 7
Operation Using 5 GHz Channels in the European Community
The user/installer must use the provided configuration utility to check the current channel
of
operation and make necessary configuration changes to ensure operation occurs in
conformance
with European National spectrum usage laws as described below and
elsewhere
in this document.
