FCC Class B NoticeNOTE: 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 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. There is no guarantee that interference will not occur. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more 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.In order to maintain compliance with FCC regulations, shielded cables must be used with this equipment. Operation with non-approved equipment or unshielded cables is likely to result in interference to radio and TV reception. The user is cautioned that changes and modifications made to the equipment without the approval of the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
FCC Radio Frequency Interference — Safety NoticesThis device is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency range. FCC requires this product to be used indoors for the frequency range 5.15 to 5.25 GHz to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite systems. Antenna WarningsWARNING: The radiated output power of the wireless network device is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the unit should be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized. To avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, you should keep a distance of at least 20 cm between you (or any other person in the vicinity) and the antenna that is built into the unit. Details of the authorized congurations can be found at https://www.fcc.gov/general/fcc-id-search-page#block-menu-block-4 by entering the FCC ID number on the device.AVERTISSEMENT: La puissance de sortie rayonnée de l’appareil réseau sans l est bien inférieure aux limites d’exposition aux radiofréquences de l’organisme américain FCC (FederalCommunicationsCommission). Néanmoins, l’unité doit être utilisée de telle sorte que le contact humain éventuel durant le fonctionnement régulier de l’appareil soit réduit. An d’éviter toute possibilité de dépassement des limites d’exposition aux radiofréquences de la FCC, vous êtes tenu de conserver une distance de 20cm (8’) au minimum entre vous (ou toute autre personne située à proximité) et l’antenne intégrée à l’unité. Des informations détaillées relatives aux congurations autorisées sont disponibles sur https://www.fcc.gov/general/fcc-id-search-page#block-menu-block-4 en entrant le numéro d’identicationFCC inscrit sur l’appareil.NOTE: The wireless network device must be installed and used in strict accordance with Extron Electronics’ instructions as described in the user documentation that comes with the product. Any other installation or use will violate FCC Part 15 regulations.Local Restrictions on 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n Radio UsageCAUTION: Due to the fact that the frequencies used by 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n wireless LAN devices may not yet be harmonized in all countries, 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n products are designed for use only in specic countries, and are not allowed to be operated in countries other than those of designated use. As a user of these products, you are responsible for ensuring that the products are used only in the countries for which they were intended and for verifying that they are congured with the correct selection of frequency and channel for the country of use. Any deviation from the permissible power and frequency settings for the country of use is an infringement of national law and may be punished as such.ATTENTION: Étant donné que les fréquences utilisées par les appareils LAN sans l compatibles avec les normes 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, et 802.11n peuvent ne pas être identiques dans tous les pays, les produits 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, et 802.11n sont adaptés à une utilisation dans certains pays uniquement et ne peuvent être utilisés dans d’autres pays que ceux dans lesquels l’utilisation est prévue. En tant qu’utilisateur de ces produits, vous devez vous assurer que les produits sont utilisés uniquement dans les pays dans lesquels leur utilisation est prévue, et vérier qu’ils sont congurés avec le choix correct de fréquence et de canal pour le pays d’utilisation. Toute entorse aux paramètres autorisés de gestion de l’alimentation et de fréquence pour le pays d’utilisation constitue une violation de la législation nationale et peut entraîner à ce titre une sanction.
Compliance ICCanada, Industry Canada (IC) NoticesCAN ICES-3 (B)/NMB-3(B)This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.This device complies with RSS247 of Industry Canada.This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003, Issue 4, and RSS-247, No 4.To prevent radio interference to the licensed service, this device is intended to be operated indoors and away from windows to provide maximum shielding. Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is installed outdoors is subject to licensing. IC Antenna Statement Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.This radio transmitter has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.Type: DipoleMaximum Peak Gain: 2 dBiImpedance: 50 Ohm Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure InformationThis equipment complies with IC RSS-102 radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20 cm between the antenna and your body.

ShareLink 250 W • Reference Information52Rack MountingUL Guidelines for Rack MountingThe following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines are relevant to the safe installation of these products in a rack:• Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the unit is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (TMA = +122 °F, +50°C) specified by Extron.• Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack so that safe operation and adequate air flow is provided to the unit.• Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.• Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to the supply circuit and consider the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Consider the equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this concern.• Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections.Rack Mounting ProcedureThe ShareLink 250 W can be mounted in a rack, using an optional Extron rack mounting kit (see www.extron.com for part numbers). Follow the instructions provided with the kit.Under-desk and Furniture MountingThe ShareLink 250 W can be mounted under a desk or podium (see figure 53), using an optional Extron mounting kit (see www.extron.com for part numbers).
