The FCC requires that the following statement be included in this manual: This device complies with FCC radiation exposure limits as set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This device should be installed and operated so that its antenna(s) are not co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. A separation distance of at least 20cm (8 inches) must be maintained to comply with the FCC Radio Frequency Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) requirements.
