FCC Class B Notice

NOTE: 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.

Battery Notice

This product contains a battery. Do not open the unit to replace the battery. If the battery

needs replacing, return the entire unit to Extron (for the correct address, see the Extron

Warranty section on the last page of this guide).

CAUTION: Risk of explosion. Do not replace the battery with an incorrect type.

Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

ATTENTION : Risque d’explosion. Ne pas remplacer la pile par le mauvais type de

pile. Débarrassez-vous des piles usagées selon le mode d’emploi.

PRELIMINARY

FCC Radio Frequency Interference — Safety Notices

This 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 Warnings

WARNING: 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 Usage

CAUTION: 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 IC

Canada, Industry Canada (IC) Notices

CAN 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: Dipole

Maximum Peak Gain: 2 dBi

Impedance: 50 Ohm

Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure Information

This 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.

• Features

About the ShareLink 250 W

The Extron ShareLink 250 W Wireless Collaboration Gateway allows users to present

wirelessly from their mobile device or computer onto a display device. The

ShareLink 250 W is compatible with Windows

and macOS

computers as well as

Android

and Apple

smartphones and tablets.

The ShareLink 250 W model includes an integrated wireless access point (WAP). Users

connect directly to the ShareLink 250 W through a Wi-Fi connection. A Gigabit Ethernet port

provides a high-speed network connection. The ShareLink 250 W wireless model is ideal

for creating a stand-alone wireless collaboration and presentation system or adding wireless

capabilities to a more traditional wired solution.

This model can operate on the 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz wireless band (see WiFi Setup on

page 28 for instructions on wireless band configuration).
