regions. Contact a Nikon-authorized service representative before using
the wireless features of this product outside the country of purchase.
Notice for Customers in the U.S.A. and Canada
This device complies with part 15 of FCC Rules and Innovation, Science
and Economic Development Canada’s licence-exempt RSSs. 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.
FCC WARNING
The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or
modifications made to this device that are not expressly approved by
Nikon Corporation may void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
FCC Radio Frequency Interference Statement
Note: 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 are designed to 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. 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 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.

FCC/ISED RF Exposure Statement
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems
are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof,
however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low
power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in
the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can
produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that
does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects.
Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological
effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might
occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research.
This product has been tested and found to comply with FCC/ISED
radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and
meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines and RSS-102 of
the ISED radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. Please refer to the SAR test
report that was uploaded to FCC website.
