Wireless LAN usage precautions

When you use a wireless LAN, there are precautions that you must follow in relation to radio waves, personal information, and so on. To use this product correctly, be sure to read the following precautions and the operation manual of the wireless LAN equipment you are using.

We will assume no responsibility, unless legal liability is recognized, in regards to failures, other defects, and damages incurred by use of this product that occurs through incorrect use or during use by yourself or a third party.

Usage condition
Access point

It should support IEEE802.11/b/g/n wireless LAN standard. Set the connection to the access point to perform communications by wireless LAN. Refer to the operation manual of the access point you wish to use if it supports IEEE802.11/b/g/n.

Frequency bands

2.4 GHz
(in the U.S. or Canada: 1 ch to 11 ch)
(in the other regions: 1 ch to 13 ch)

Maximum radio-frequency power
53.7 mW


Radio wave usage precautions

This product complies with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This product should be installed and operated keeping the radiator at least 20 cm or more away from a person’s body.

NOTES:

  • This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Industry Canada license-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 interference that may cause undesired operation of this device.
  • 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.
  • Do not use this product in the following locations. Using this product in such locations may cause communications to become unstable or not possible.

    • Near wireless communication equipment that uses the same frequency band (2.4 GHz) as this product.

    • Places where there are magnetic fields from equipment such as microwave ovens or static electricity or radio wave interference occurs. (Radio waves may not reach depending on the environment.)


Personal information (security-related) usage precautions
  • There is a possibility of interception when you use wireless LAN equipment due to the use of radio waves regardless of whether you use encryption or not.

  • Wireless LAN uses radio waves to exchange information between this product and the access point. This means it has the advantage of freely being able to make a LAN connection if within reach of radio waves. On the other hand, if the radio waves are within a certain range, they will reach all locations beyond obstacles (e.g., walls). Therefore, it is possible your communications may be intercepted and read or illegally intruded upon.

  • Do not connect to equipment and networks which you are not authorized to use when setting up your wireless connection.

  • Initialize the settings of this product when disposing of it or transferring it to a third party.


Others
  • Use this product as regular wireless LAN equipment.

    • Do not use this product in hospitals or in/near locations with medical equipment.

    • Do not use this product within an aircraft.

    • Do not use this product near electronic equipment that handles high-precision control or weak signals.

      Examples of electronic equipment to be careful of:

      Hearing aids, pacemakers, fire alarms, automatic doors, and other automatic control equipment.

  • This is not a guarantee of wireless connection and performance with all access points and in all residential environments. Radio waves may not reach or may be interrupted in the following situations.

    • Use in buildings made from concrete, rebars, or metal.
    • Installation near obstacles.
    • Interference with wireless communication equipment using the same frequency.
    • Places where there are magnetic fields from equipment such as microwave ovens or static electricity or radio wave interference occurs.
  • Set up this product only after reading the operation manual of the access point.

  • If there is bad reception between this product and the access point, adjusting the access point's position or direction of the antenna may improve the reception. It may also be possible to improve reception by moving the access point closer to this product or using a wireless LAN repeater.
