FCC Requirement for Operation in the United States of
America:
FCC Guideline for Human Exposure
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance
49 cm between the radiator & your body.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC 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.

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 encouraged 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 user's authority to operate this equipment.
● This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
● For operation within 5.15 ~ 5.25GHz / 5.47 ~5.725GHz frequency range, it is
restricted to indoor environment.

Industry Canada
This device complies with RSS-247 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 à la norme CNR-247 d'Industrie 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 préjudiciable, et (2) ce
dispositif doit accepter tout brouillage reçu, y compris un brouillage susceptible de
provoquer un fonctionnement indésirable.

Radiation Exposure Statement:

This equipment complies with IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance
55 cm between the radiator & your body.
Déclaration d'exposition aux radiations:Cet équipement est conforme aux limites
d'exposition aux rayonnements IC établies pour un environnement non contrôlé. Cet
équipement doit être installé et utilisé avec un minimum de 55 cm de distance entre la
source de rayonnement et votre corps.

IC 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 be such that the equipment still complies with the e.i.r.p. limit;
(iii) The maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the band 5725-5850 MHz shall
be such that the equipment still complies with the e.i.r.p. limits specified for point-to-
point and non-point-to-point operation as appropriate; and
(iv) 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
Le guide d’utilisation des dispositifs pour réseaux locaux doit inclure des instructions
précises sur les restrictions susmentionnées, notamment :

(i) les dispositifs fonctionnant dans la bande 5150-5250 MHz sont réservés uniquement
pour une utilisation à l’intérieur afin de réduire les risques de brouillage préjudiciable
aux systèmes de satellites mobiles utilisant les mêmes canaux;

15
AP43 Hardware Installation Guide
Mist Systems (C) Copyright 2020. All Rights Reserved
(ii) le gain maximal d'antenne permis pour les dispositifs utilisant les bandes de 5250 à
5 350 MHz et de 5470 à 5725 MHz doit être conforme à la limite de la p.i.r.e;

(iii) le gain maximal d'antenne permis (pour les dispositifs utilisant la bande de 5 725 à
5 850 MHz) doit être conforme à la limite de la p.i.r.e. spécifiée pour l'exploitation point
à point et l’exploitation non point à point, selon le cas;

(iv) De plus, les utilisateurs devraient aussi être avisés que les utilisateurs de radars de
haute puissance sont désignés utilisateurs principaux (c.-à-d., qu’ils ont la priorité) 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.
