24mFi™ mPort™ComplianceFCCChanges or modifications not expressly approved by Ubiquiti Networks, Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:1. This device may not cause interference, and2. This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operations of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. RF Exposure WarningThe transceiver described here emits radio frequency energy. Although the power level is low, the concentrated energy from a directional antenna may pose a health hazard. Do not allow people to come closer than 20 cm to the antenna when the transmitter is operating. Additional information on RF exposure is available on the Internet at www.fcc.gov/oet/info/documents/bulletinsL’émetteur-récepteur décrit ici émet de l’énergie de fréquence radio. Bien que le niveau de puissance est faible, l’énergie concentrée à partir d’une antenne directionnelle peut présenter un danger pour la santé. Ne pas permettre aux gens de se rapprocher de 20 cm à l’antenne lorsque l’émetteur est en marche. Des renseignements supplémentaires sur l’exposition aux RF est disponible sur Internet à www.fcc.gov/oet/info/documents/bulletins
