•  This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and Industry Canada License-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to 

the following two conditions:

 

ʵ This device may not cause harmful interference, and

 

ʵ This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

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:

 

ʵ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

 

ʵ Increase the separation between the equipment and adaptor.

 

ʵ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the adaptor is connected.

•  Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or 

lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna 
type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary 
for successful communication.

•  To comply with FCC and Industry Canada RF radiation exposure limits for general population, the antenna used for this device 

must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
