FCC Radio Frequency Interference Warnings & Instructions The NETGEAR product 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 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 or more of the following methods:  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.  Connect the equipment into an electrical outlet on a circuit different from that which the radio receiver is connected.  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. FCC RF Radiation Exposure and SAR Statements The information in this section applies to products that transmit data or communicate wirelessly. SAR Statement The information in this section applies to NETGEAR wireless products that are intended to be operated close to human body. NETGEAR products that are intended to be operated close to the human body are tested for body-worn Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) compliance. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. The FCC has established detailed SAR requirements and NETGEAR products meet these requirements. NETGEAR products comply with ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1999 and are tested in accordance with the measurement methods and procedures specified in OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C. NETGEAR products that are installed in USB ports demonstrate SAR compliance using a typical laptop computer with a USB port. Other applications, such as handheld computers or similar devices, have not been verified and might not compliance with related RF exposure rule and such use is prohibited. RF Exposure Information NETGEAR products have been evaluated under FCC Bulletin OET 65C (01-01) and found to be compliant to the requirements as set forth in CFR 47 Sections, 2.1093, and 15.247 (b) (4) addressing RF exposure from radio frequency devices. NETGEAR products meet the applicable government requirements for exposure to radio frequency waves. To see the test results reporting the highest SAR level measured for this device, visit http://www.netgear.com/about/regulatory/declarations-conformity/ Radiation exposure: NETGEAR products comply with radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meet radio frequency (RF) exposure guidelines for wireless routers. NETGEAR products should be
installed and operated keeping the product 20cm or more away from a person’s body. For devices that are battery powered and may be operated closer than 20cm to you, refer to the NETGEAR website for exposure levels. NETGEAR USB dongle transmitters are approved for use in typical laptop computers. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, do not use NETGEAR USB dongle transmitters in other devices or certain laptop and tablet computer configurations where the USB connectors on the host computer are unable to provide or ensure the necessary operating configurations intended for the device and its users or bystanders to satisfy RF exposure compliance requirements.

Australia and New Zealand Notices The information in this section applies to products bearing the Australia C-Tick and A-Tick Compulsory Marks: This device equipment complies with the Australian and New Zealand regulatory approvals requirements. Warning NETGEAR Class A products that may be utilized in domestic/residential environments may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures. Powerline Device Safety Information Follow these safety guidelines to ensure your own personal safety and to help protect your system from potential damage:  For national approvals (approval schemes other than CB), relevant national standards for plug, socket-outlet, and direct plug-in units (for example, US) shall also be consulted while testing and approving such products according to the national standards.  Check the electrical current for any device plugged into the filtered AC socket. Do not exceed home and product outlet ratings and electrical requirements.  The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and be easily accessible  Only power cords and allowed to be inserted into the filtered AC socket; no other equipment with a direct plug-in is allowed. Power cords needs to be a maximum of 1m long and a minimum of 0.75mm² of cross-sectional area.  Do not plug devices into the Powerline Pass Thru Adapter filtered AC outlet that exceed the product ratings. The output voltage of the filtered AC outlet is the same as the power outlet that the Powerline Pass Thru Adapter is plugged into. To help avoid damaging your system, be sure that the attached devices are electrically rated to operate with the power available in your location.  If the input AC voltage is less than 100 Vac, the device plugged into the filtered AC socket of the Powerline Pass Thru Adapter might not perform as well as expected.  DO NOT PLUG MAJOR HOME APPLIANCES into the filtered AC socket or into an attached power strip. The device is not intended to be used with home appliances such as air conditioners, power tools, space heaters, fans hair dryers, ovens, or refrigerators.  Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate.  Do not service any product except as explained in your system documentation.  Opening or removing covers that are marked with the triangular symbol with a lightning bolt can expose you to electrical shock. Only a trained service technician should service components inside these compartments.  Use the product only with approved equipment.  Allow the products to cool before removing covers or touching internal components.  To help avoid damaging your system, be sure that the voltage selection switch (if provided) on the power supply is set o match the power available at your location: o 110 volts (V), 60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries such as south Korea and Taiwan o 100, 50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100, 60Hz in western Japan o 230v, 50Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East
 The peripheral power cables are equipped with three-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable.  Observe extension cable and power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere rating of all products plugged into the extension cable or power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the ampere ratings limit for te extension cable or power strip.  To help protect your system from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Rack Mount Safety Instructions This information applies to the installation of NETGEAR rack mount products  Ambient operating temperature. If the switch is installed in a closed or multiunit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of the rack environment might be greater than the ambient temperature of the room. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum rated ambient temperature.  Reduced airflow. Mount the equipment into a rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe operation is not compromised.  Mechanical loading. Mount the equipment into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not arise due to uneven mechanical loading.  Circuit overloading. Consider the equipment’s connection to the power supply circuitry and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Consider equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this concern.  Reliable grounding. This product requires reliable grounding to be maintained at all times. To ensure this, ground the rack itself. Pay particular attention to power supply connections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (for example, the use of power strips).  Clearance. Leave enough clearance in front of the rack (about 25 inches) to enable you to open the front door completely and in the back of the rack (about 30 inches) to allow for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.
