Only peripherals (digital input/output devices, terminals, printers, etc.) certified to comply with the Class B limits may be attached to this product. Operation with non-certified peripherals is likely to result in interference to radio and TV reception. Only shielded signal cables may be used with this System.

Indoor use only
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 and for indoor use only, use outdoors or in other modes not covered by this manual may violate the FCC regulation and violate the user authority to use the product.
Especially, within the 5.15-5.25 GHz band, the U-NII device is restricted to indoor operations to reduce any potential for harmful interference to co- channel MSS operations.

FCC/IC Radio Frequency Exposure
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low-power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low-power wireless devices are absolutely safe.
Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used.
Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects.  Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. This device has been tested and found to comply with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules(<1.6W/kg).
