The equipment may contain hazardous substances that could impact health and the environment. In order to avoid the dissemination of those substances in our environment and to diminish the pressure on the natural resources, we encourage you to use the appropriate take-back systems. The take-back systems will reuse or recycle most of the materials of your end life equipment in a sound way. The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol invites you to use those systems. If you need more information on collection, reuse, and recycling systems, please contact your local or regional waste administration. GPL Information The source code for Buffalo products that use GPL code is available at http://opensource.buffalo.jp/ . 12 Regulatory Compliance Information 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 en-
couraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation 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. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harm-
ful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. For product available in the USA/Canada market, only channel 1~11 can be operated. Selection of other channels is not possible. This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operation in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. This device is going to be oper-
ated in 5.15~5.25GHz frequency range, it is restricted in indoor environment only. Important Note - FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. The availability of some specific channels and/or operational frequency bands are country dependent and are firmware programmed at the factory to match the intended destination. The firmware setting is not accessible by the end user. Industry Canada statement:
Industrie Canada dclaration:
CAN ICES-3(B)/NMB-3(B) This device complies with RSS-210 of the Industry Canada Rules. 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. Ce dispositif est conforme la norme CNR-210 dIndustrie Canada applicable aux appareils radio exempts de licence. Son fonctionnement est sujet aux deux conditions suivantes:
(1) le dispositif ne doit pas produire de brouillage prjudiciable, et
(2) ce dispositif doit accepter tout brouillage reu, y compris un brouillage susceptible de provoquer un fonctionnement indsirable. Caution:
Prudence:
This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operation in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Cet appareil et son antenne (s) ne doit pas tre co-localiss ou fonctionnement en association avec une autre antenne ou transmetteur. The device for the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor usage to reduce potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems. Le dispositif fonctionnant dans la bande 5150-5250 MHz est rserv uniquement pour une utilisation lintrieur afin de rduire les risques de brouillage prjudiciable aux systmes de satellites mobiles utilisant les mmes canaux. The maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the band 5725-5825 MHz shall comply with the e.i.r.p. limits specified for point-to-point and non point-to-point operation as appropriate. le gain maximal dantenne permis (pour les dispositifs utilisant la bande 5725-5825 MHz) doit se conformer la limite de p.i.r.e. spcifie pour lexploitation point point et non point point, selon le cas. For product available in the USA/Canada market, only channel 1~11 can be operated. Selection of other channels is not possible. Pour les produits disponibles aux tats-Unis / Canada du march, seul le canal 1 11 peuvent tre exploits. Slection dautres canaux nest pas possible. 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. Le dispositif pourrait automatiquement cesser dmettre en cas dabsence dinformations transmettre, ou une dfaillance oprationnelle. Notez que ce nest pas lintention dinterdire la transmission des informations de contrle ou de signalisation ou lutilisation de codes rpti-
tifs lorsque requis par la technologie. Important Note - Radiation Exposure Statement:
Note Importante - Dclaration dexposition aux radiations:
This equipment complies with IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator and your body. This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of [2.2] dBi. Antenna having a higher gain is strictly pro-
hibited per regulations of Industry Canada. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain ap-
proved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. Cet quipement est conforme aux limites dexposition aux rayonnements IC tablies pour un environnement non contrl. Cet quipement doit tre install et utilis avec un minimum de 20 cm de distance entre la source de rayonnement et votre corps. Ce dispositif a t conu pour fonctionner avec une antenne ayant un gain maximal de dBi [2.2]. Une antenne gain plus lev est stricte-
ment interdite par les rglements dIndustrie Canada. Limpdance dantenne requise est de 50 ohms. Conformment la rglementation dIndustrie Canada, le prsent metteur radio peutfonctionner avec une antenne dun type et dun gain maximal (ou infrieur) approuv pourlmetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de rduire les risques de brouillage radiolectrique lintention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type dantenne et son gain de sorte que lapuissance isotrope rayonne quivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dpasse pas lintensit ncessaire ltablissement dune communication satisfaisante. Taiwan:
SAR compliance has been established in typical laptop computer(s) with CardBus slot, and product could be used in typical laptop computer with CardBus slot. Other application like handheld PC or similar device has not been verified, may not comply with related RF exposure rules, and such use shall be prohibited. Safety This equipment is designed with the utmost care for the safety of those who install and use it. However, special attention must be paid to the dangers of electric shock and static electricity when working with electrical equipment. All guidelines of this manual and of the computer manufacturer must therefore be allowed at all times to ensure the safe use of the equipment. NCC 5.25-5.35 B
