Notice for Customers in the U.S.A. and Canada
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry of Canada 
(IC) 
Declaration of Conformity
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Industry Canada licence-
exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 
(1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any 
interference, including inte rference that may cause undesired operation of this 
device.
FCC/IC RF Exposure Statement
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any 
other antenna or transmitter.
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 radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range 
while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by 
heating tissue), exposure of 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.
