COMPLIANCES
RBT-4102
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.
IEEE 802.11b or 802.11g operation of this product in the U.S.A. is firmware-limited to
channels 1 through 11.
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
70 centimeters (27.5 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 Statements:
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 when used in Canada.
The term “IC:” before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada
technical specifications were met.

iii
Wireless 4.9 GHz Band Statement:
Installation and operation requires an approved license from the FCC.
Industry Canada - Class B
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from
digital apparatus as set out in the interference-causing equipment standard entitled “Digital
Apparatus,” ICES-003 of Industry Canada.
Cet appareil numérique respecte les limites de bruits radioélectriques applicables aux
appareils numériques de Classe B prescrites dans la norme sur le matérial brouilleur:
“Appareils Numériques,” NMB-003 édictée par l’Industrie.
Industry Canada Statement
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1) This device may not cause interference and
2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device
This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of
23 dB. Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada.
The required antenna Impedance is 50 ohms.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be
so chosen that the EIRP is not more than required for successful communication.
Because high power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they have priority) in
5250-5350 MHz, these radars could cause interference and/or damage to license exempt
LAN devices.

und zulässige Betriebskanäle treffen entsprechend der folgenden Ausführung zu:
Hinweis:Der Benutzer muss das für das Gerät bereitgestellte Konfigurationsprogramm
verwenden, um sicherzustellen, dass die Betriebskanäle mit den unten
beschriebenen Vorschriften zur Verwendung des Spektrums für die Europäische
Gemeinschaft übereinstimmen.
• Bevor dieses Gerät in Betrieb genommen wird, muss der Benutzer oder Installierende für
dieses Gerät entsprechend der Bedienungsanleitung in die Befehlszeile das richtige
Betriebsland eingeben.
• Durch die Festlegung des Betriebslands werden automatisch die zulässigen Kanäle
begrenzt. Eine falsche Eingabe des Betriebslands kann zu einem illegalen Betrieb führen
und schädliche Interferenzen bei anderen Systemen verursachen. Der Benutzer muss

einer vorübergehenden Betriebsunterbrechung dieses Geräts führen. Die
Radarerkennungsfunktion sorgt dafür, dass das Gerät den Betrieb automatisch auf einem
radarfreien Kanal neu startet.
• Der 5-GHz-Turbomodus wird in keinem Land der Europäischen Gemeinschaft
zugelassen. Die aktuelle Einstellung für diese Funktion ist wie im Benutzerhandbuch
beschrieben im Fenster "5 GHz 802.11a Radio Settings" zu finden.
• Die im Benutzerhandbuch beschriebene Auto Channel Select-Einstellung des
5-GHz-Radios muss immer aktiviert bleiben, um sicherzustellen, dass die automatische
5-GHz-Kanalwahl den Anforderungen der Europäische Gemeinschaft entspricht. Die
aktuelle Einstellung für diese Funktion ist wie im Benutzerhandbuch beschrieben im
Fenster "5 GHz 802.11a Radio Settings" zu finden.
• Bei der Verwendung des Geräts in der Europäische Gemeinschaft im 5,15 - 5,35
GHz-Band ist es auf die Verwendung in Räumen beschränkt: Kanäle 36, 40, 44, 48, 52,
56, 60, 64.
• Bei der Verwendung des 2,4-GHz-Bands darf das Gerät in allen Ländern der
Europäischen Gemeinschaft sowohl in Räumen als auch im Freien benutzt werden:
Kanäle 1 - 13, außer wenn unten aufgeführt.
- In Frankreich ist der Betrieb im Freien nur bei der Verwendung des 2,4 - 2,454
GHz-Bands zugelassen: Kanäle 1 - 7.

viii
Betrieb bei Verwendung der 5-GHz-Kanäle in der Europäische Gemeinschaft
Der Benutzer/Installierende muss das für das Gerät bereitgestellte Konfigurationsprogramm
