LIMITED WARRANTY
Limited Warranty Statement: SMC Networks, Inc. (“SMC”) warrants its products to be 
free from defects in workmanship and materials, under normal use and service, for the 
applicable warranty term. All SMC products carry a standard 90-day limited warranty from 
the date of purchase from SMC or its Authorized Reseller. SMC may, at its own discretion, 
repair or replace any product not operating as warranted with a similar or functionally 
equivalent product, during the applicable warranty term. SMC will endeavor to repair or 
replace any product returned under warranty within 30 days of receipt of the product.
The standard limited warranty can be upgraded to a Limited Lifetime* warranty by registering 
new products within 30 days of purchase from SMC or its Authorized Reseller. Registration 
can be accomplished via the enclosed product registration card or online via the SMC web 
site. Failure to register will not affect the standard limited warranty. The Limited Lifetime 
warranty covers a product during the Life of that Product, which is defined as the period of 
time during which the product is an “Active” SMC product. A product is considered to be 
“Active” while it is listed on the current SMC price list. As new technologies emerge, older 
technologies become obsolete and SMC will, at its discretion, replace an older product in its 
product line with one that incorporates these newer technologies. At that point, the obsolete 
product is discontinued and is no longer an “Active” SMC product. A list of discontinued 
products with their respective dates of discontinuance can be found at:
http://www.smc.com/index.cfm?action=customer_service_warranty.
All products that are replaced become the property of SMC. Replacement products may be 
either new or reconditioned. Any replaced or repaired product carries either a 30-day limited 
warranty or the remainder of the initial warranty, whichever is longer. SMC is not responsible 
for any custom software or firmware, configuration information, or memory data of 
Customer contained in, stored on, or integrated with any products returned to SMC pursuant 
to any warranty. Products returned to SMC should have any customer-installed accessory or 
add-on components, such as expansion modules, removed prior to returning the product for 
replacement. SMC is not responsible for these items if they are returned with the product.
Customers must contact SMC for a Return Material Authorization number prior to returning 
any product to SMC. Proof of purchase may be required. Any product returned to SMC 
without a valid Return Material Authorization (RMA) number clearly marked on the outside 
of the package will be returned to customer at customer’s expense. For warranty claims within 
North America, please call our toll-free customer support number at (800) 762-4968. 
Customers are responsible for all shipping charges from their facility to SMC. SMC is 
responsible for return shipping charges from SMC to customer.

Federal Communication Commission Interference 
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. 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 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. 
• Increase the distance between the equipment and 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.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party 
responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate this equipment.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled 
environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 
20 cm between the radiator and your body.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna 
or transmitter.
IEEE 802.11b or 802.11g operation of this product in the U.S.A. is firmware-limited to 
channels 1 through 11.

Industry Canada Statement
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. this device may not cause interference and
2. this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired 
operation of the device
To prevent radio interference to the licensed service, this device is intended to be operated 
indoors and away from windows to provide maximum shielding. Equipment (or its transmit 
antenna) that is installed outdoors is subject to licensing.
This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of 1.5 dBi. 
Any antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada. 
The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be 
so chosen that the EIRP is not more than required for successful communication.
To prevent radio interference to the licensed service, this device is intended to be operated 
indoors and away from windows to provide maximum shielding. Equipment (or its transmit 
antenna) that is installed outdoors is subject to licensing.
