FCC/ISED RF Exposure Statement
The available scienti c evidence does not show that any health problems are
associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that
these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices
emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being
used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health e ects (by heating tissue),
exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating e ects causes no known
adverse health e ects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any
biological e ects. Some studies have suggested that some biological e ects might
occur, but such  ndings have not been con rmed by additional research. This product
has been tested and found to comply with FCC/ISED radiation exposure limits set
forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF)
Exposure Guidelines and RSS-102 of the ISED radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.
Please refer to the SAR test report that was uploaded to FCC website.

Security
Although one of the bene ts of this product is that it allows others to freely connect
for the wireless exchange of data anywhere within its range, the following may occur
if security is not enabled:
• Data theft: Malicious third-parties may intercept wireless transmissions to steal user
IDs, passwords, and other personal information.
• Unauthorized access: Unauthorized users may gain access to the network and alter
data or perform other malicious actions. Note that due to the design of wireless
networks, specialized attacks may allow unauthorized access even when security is
enabled.
• Unsecured networks: Connecting to open networks may result in unauthorized
access. Use secure networks only.
