Note: 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 by 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.

FCC RF exposure information (SAR)

This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves. 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 Specific 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 certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
• Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified 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 differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.

FAQ
