The plug on the power supply cord serves as disconnect device. Be sure that the power 
socket outlet you plug the power cord into is easily accessible and located as close to 
the equipment as possible.

Overloading

Do not overload mains supply socket outlets and extension cords as this increases the 
risk of fire or electric shock.

Servicing

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product. None of its internal 
parts are user-replaceable; therefore, there is no reason to access the interior. Opening 
or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages. Incorrect reassembly could 
cause electric shock if the appliance is subsequently used.
If service or repair work is required, take it to a qualified service dealer.

Damage requiring service

Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service 
personnel under the following conditions:



When the power supply or its plug are damaged.



If the product has been exposed to rain or water.



If the product does not operate normally.



If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.



There are noticeable signs of overheating.



If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.

Immediately disconnect the product if you notice it giving off a smell of burning or 
smoke. Under no circumstances must you open the equipment yourself; you run the risk 
of electrocution.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) radio frequency 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 or more 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.

RF-exposure statement

When the product is equipped with a wireless interface, then it becomes a mobile or 
fixed mounted modular transmitter and must have a separation distance of at least 20 
cm (8 inches) between the antenna and the body of the user or nearby persons. In 
practice, this means that the user or nearby persons must have a distance of at least 20 
cm (8 inches) from the modem and must not lean on the modem in case it is wall-
mounted.
With a separation distance of 20 cm (8 inches) or more, the M(aximum) P(ermissible) 
E(xposure) limits are well above the potential this module is capable to produce.
For operation within 5.15 ~ 5.25GHz frequency range, it is restricted to indoor 
environment. This device meets all the other requirements specified in Part 15E, Section 
15.407 of the FCC Rules.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other 
antenna or transmitter.

Restricted frequency band

This product is equipped with an IEEE802.11b/IEEE802.11g/IEEE802.11n wireless 
transceiver and may only use channels 1 to 11 (2412 to 2462 MHz) on U.S.A. territory.
