The product (and contained batteries) should not be disposed of with other household waste.
Check for the nearest authorized collection centers or authorized recyclers. The correct disposal of
end-of-life equipment will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health.
Any attempt to reverse-engineer this device by decoding proprietary protocols, de-compiling firmware,
or any similar actions is strictly prohibited.
CAUTION:
User should also be advised that:
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. 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.
Les utilisateurs devraient aussi être avisés que
Le gain maximal d’antenne permis (pour les dispositifs utilisant la bande 5725-5825 MHz) doit se conformer à la limite de p.i.r.e. spécifiée pour l’exploitation point
à point et non point à point, selon le cas. De plus, 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.
FCC 15.407(c) states
: The device shall automatically discontinue transmission in case of either absence of information to transmit or
operational failure.

These provisions are not intended to preclude the transmission of control or signaling information or the use of repetitive codes
used by certain digital technologies to complete frame or burst intervals.
