Cet appareil et son antenne ne doivent pas être situés ou fonctionner en conjonction avec une autre antenne ou un autre émetteur, exception faites des radios intégrées qui ont été testées. La fonction de sélection de l’indicatif du pays est désactivée pour les produits commercialisés aux
États-Unis et au Canada.

Caution
(i) the device for operation in the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor use to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems;
(ii) the maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5470-5725
MHz shall comply with the e.i.r.p. limit; and
(iii) 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.
(iv) the worst-case tilt angle(s) necessary to remain compliant with the e.i.r.p. elevation mask requirement set forth in Section 6.2.2(3) shall be clearly indicated. <for 5G B2 with DFS devices only>
(v) Users should also be advised that high-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e. priority users) of the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz and that these radars could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.
Avertissement
(i) les dispositifs fonctionnant dans la bande 5150-5250 MHz sont reserves uniquement pour une utilisation a l’interieur afin de reduire les risques de brouillage prejudiciable aux systemes de satellites mobiles utilisant les memes canaux;
(ii) le gain maximal d’antenne permis pour les dispositifs utilisant les bandes 5250-5350 MHz et
5470-5725 MHz doit se conformer a la limite de p.i.r.e.;
(iii) le gain maximal d’antenne permis (pour les dispositifs utilisant la bande 5725-5825 MHz) doit se conformer a la limite de p.i.r.e. specifiee pour l’exploitation point a point et non point a point, selon le cas.
(iv) les pires angles d’inclinaison necessaires pour rester conforme a l’exigence de la p.i.r.e. applicable au masque d’elevation, et enoncee a la section 6.2.2 3), doivent etre clairement indiques.
<for 5G B2 with DFS devices only>
(v) De plus, les utilisateurs devraient aussi etre avises que les utilisateurs de radars de haute puissance sont designes utilisateurs principaux (c.-a-d., qu’ils ont la priorite) pour les bandes
5250-5350 MHz et 5650-5850 MHz et que ces radars pourraient causer du brouillage et/ou des dommages aux dispositifs LAN-EL.

RF Exposure information (SAR) - CE
This device meets the EU requirements (1999/5/EC) on the limitation of exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields by way of health protection.
The limits are part of extensive recommendations for the protection of the general public. These recommendations have been developed and checked by independent scientific organizations through regular and thorough evaluations of scientific studies. The unit of measurement for the
European Council’s recommended limit for mobile devices is the “Specific Absorption Rate” (SAR), and the SAR limit is 2.0 W/Kg averaged over 10 gram of body tissue. It meets the requirements of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).
For next-to-body operation, this device has been tested and meets the ICNRP exposure guidelines and the European Standard EN 50566 and EN 62209-2. SAR is measured with the device at a separation of 0 cm to the body while transmitting at the highest certified output power level in all frequency bands of the mobile device.
India RoHS
This product complies with the “India E-waste (Management and Handling) Rule 2011” and prohibits use of lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in concentrations exceeding 0.1% by weight in homogenous materials and 0.01% by weight in homogenous materials for cadmium, except for the exemptions listed in
Schedule-II of the Rule.
