IC SAR warning

Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure Information

The radiated output power of the Wireless Device is below the Industry Canada (IC) radio frequency exposure limits. The Wireless Device should be used in such a manner such that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized.

This device has been evaluated for and shown compliant with the IC Specific Absorption Rate (“SAR”) limits when installed in specific host products operated in portable exposure conditions.

Informations concernant l'exposition aux fréquences radio (RF)

La puissance de sortie émise par l’appareil de sans fil est inférieure à la limite d'exposition aux fréquences radio d'Industry Canada (IC). Utilisez l’appareil de sans fil de façon à minimiser les contacts humains lors du fonctionnement normal.

Ce périphérique a été évalué et démontré conforme aux limites SAR (Specific Absorption Rate – Taux d'absorption spécifique) d'IC lorsqu'il est installé dans des produits hôtes particuliers qui fonctionnent dans des conditions d'exposition à des appareils portables.

The device could automatically discontinue transmission in case of absence of information to transmit, or operational failure. Note that this is not intended to prohibit transmission of control or signaling information or the use of repetitive codes where required by the technology.

WLAN indoor usage 6XD/5G

The device for the band 5.15 -5.9 GHz and 5.9 -7.2 GHz is only for indoor usage to reduce potential for harmful interference to co- channel mobile satellite systems; the maximum antenna gain permitted (for devices in the bands 5250- 5350 MHz and 5470-5725 MHz) to comply with the e.i.r.p. limit; and the maximum antenna gain permitted (for devices in the band 5725-5850 MHz) to comply with the e.i.r.p. limits specified for point-to-point and non-point-to-point operation as appropriate, as stated in section A9.2(3). In addition, high -power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they have priority) of the band 5250 -5350 MHz and this radar could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.

Le dispositif pour la bande 5.15 -5.9 GHz and 5.9 -7.2 GHz est uniquement destiné à une utilisation en interieur afin de réduire les risques d'interférences nuisibles aux systèmes mobiles par satellite dans le même canal; le gain d'antenne maximal autorisé (pour les appareils dans les bandes 5250-5350 MHz et 5470 -5725 MHz) pour se conformer a la p.i.r.e. limite; et le gain d'antenne maximal autorisé (pour les appareils dans la bande 5725- 5850 MHz) pour se conformer a la p.i.r.e. Iimites spécifiées pour le fonctionnement point a point et non point a point , selon le cas, comme indiqué dans la section A9.2 (3). De plus, les radars haute puissance sont attribués comme utilisateurs principaux (c'est-a-dire qu'ils ont la priorité) de la bande 5250-5350 MHz et ce radar pourrait causer des interférences et/ ou endommager les dispositifs LE- LAN.

FCC ID: S9E-125500

Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Interference Compliance 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. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

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 communication. 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 the 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.

Changes and modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer or registrant of this equipment can void your authority to operate this equipment under Federal Communications Commission rules.

FOR PORTABLE DEVICE USAGE (<20 cm from body / SAR needed)

Radiation Exposure Statement: 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 device employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/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.
