Notices

Wireless LAN Safety and Specifications
Wireless LAN module model: WN7522BEP This document provides safety instructions and describes the specifications. Read this document carefully before use to ensure your safety and product performance. Data transmission is always initiated by software, which is passed down through the MAC, through the digital and analog baseband, and finally to the RF chip. Several special packets are initiated by the MAC. These are the only ways the digital baseband portion will turn on the RF transmitter, which it then turns off at the end of the packet. Therefore, the transmitter will be on only while one of the aforementioned packets is being transmitted. In other words, this device automatically discontinues transmission in case of either the absence of information to transmit or operational failure. This equipment is restricted to indoor operation only.
