Read this guide to get started. AirPort Extreme provides simultaneous dual-‐band wireless 802.11n networking. When you set up your AirPort Extreme Base Station, it creates two high-‐speed Wi-‐Fi networks: ÂA 2.4 gigahertz (GHz) network for 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n devices, such as iPhone, iPod touch, and older computers ÂA 5 GHz network for 802.11n and 802.11a devices, such as newer computers and Apple TV Wireless devices join the network that provides them the best performance and compatibility, and the AirPort Extreme shares your broadband Internet connection with computers and devices on your network. With your AirPort Extreme, you can: ÂCreate a password-‐protected wireless home network, and then connect to the Internet and share the connection with other computers and Wi-‐Fi devices, such CUK2JQPGK2QFVQWEJCPF#RRNG68;QWECPCNUQUJCTG°NGUCOQPIEQORWVGTU connected to the network. ÂCreate a guest network with or without password protection, to provide Internet-‐only access to wireless devices, such as computers, iPhone, iPod touch, and Apple TV. LL5909BOOK.indb 53/28/11 2:00 PM 6 Chapter 1 Getting Started ÂConnect your AirPort Extreme to your Ethernet network. Wireless-‐equipped Macintosh computers, Windows XP, or Windows Vista computers can then have access to an entire network without being connected by a cable. ÂConnect a supported USB device, such as a printer or a scanner, to your AirPort Extreme. All of the compatible computers on the AirPort network, both wireless and wired, can access the device. ÂConnect a USB hard disk to your AirPort Extreme. All of the compatible computers on the AirPort network, both wireless and wired, can access the information on the hard disk. ÂConnect a USB hub to your AirPort Extreme, and then connect multiple USB devices, such as printers or hard disks. All of the computers on the network have access to those devices. Important: Use AirPort Utility to set up your simultaneous dual-‐band AirPort Extreme Base Station. Previous versions of AirPort Setup Assistant and AirPort Admin Utility are not compatible with this base station. AirPort Utility is installed in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a computer using Mac OS X, and in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows. If AirPort Utility isn’t installed on your computer, you can download it from apple.com/ airport/support. Apple periodically updates AirPort software. It’s recommended that you update your software to keep your AirPort Extreme up to date. Note: To download a copy of this set up guide in your language, open AirPort Utility and choose Help > AirPort Service and Support, and click Manuals.

MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE FCC RULES §1.1310 The criteria listed in Table 1 shall be used to evaluate the environmental impact of human exposure to radio-frequency (RF) radiation as specified in §1.1307(b), except in the case of portable devices which shall be evaluated according to the provisions of §2.1093 of this chapter. REPORT NO: 11U13614-2B DATE: JUNE 13, 2011 FCC ID: BCGA1408 IC: 579C-A1408 Page 292 of 299 COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATION SERVICES FORM NO: CCSUP4701C 47173 BENICIA STREET, FREMONT, CA 94538, USA TEL: (510) 771-1000 FAX: (510) 661-0888 This report shall not be reproduced except in full, without the written approval of CCS. IC RULES IC Safety Code 6, Section 2.2.1 (a) A person other than an RF and microwave exposed worker shall not be exposed to electromagnetic radiation in a frequency band listed in Column 1 of Table 5, if the field strength exceeds the value given in Column 2 or 3 of Table 5, when averaged spatially and over time, or if the power density exceeds the value given in Column 4 of Table 5, when averaged spatially and over time. REPORT NO: 11U13614-2B DATE: JUNE 13, 2011 FCC ID: BCGA1408 IC: 579C-A1408 Page 293 of 299 COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATION SERVICES FORM NO: CCSUP4701C 47173 BENICIA STREET, FREMONT, CA 94538, USA TEL: (510) 771-1000 FAX: (510) 661-0888 This report shall not be reproduced except in full, without the written approval of CCS. EQUATIONS Power density is given by: S = EIRP / (4 * Pi * D^2) where S = Power density in W/m^2 EIRP = Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power in W D = Separation distance in m Power density in units of W/m^2 is converted to units of mWc/m^2 by dividing by 10. Distance is given by: D = SQRT (EIRP / (4 * Pi * S)) where D = Separation distance in m EIRP = Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power in W S = Power density in W/m^2 For multiple chain devices, and colocated transmitters operating simultaneously in frequency bands where the limit is identical, the total power density is calculated using the total EIRP obtained by summing the Power * Gain product (in linear units) of each transmitter. Total EIRP = (P1 * G1) + (P2 * G2) + ... + (Pn * Pn) where Px = Power of transmitter x Gx = Numeric gain of antenna x For multiple colocated transmitters operating simultaneously in frequency bands where different limits apply, a fraction of the exposure limit is established for each band, such that the sum of the fractions is less than or equal to one. In the table(s) below, Power and Gain are entered in units of dBm and dBi respectively and conversions to linear forms are used for the calculations. LIMITS For mobile radio equipment operating in the cellular phone band, the lowest power density limit is calculated using the lowest frequency, as 824 MHz / 1500 = 0.55 mW/cm^2 (FCC) and 824 MHz / 150 = 5.5 W/m^2 (IC). From FCC §1.1310 Table 1 (B), the maximum value of S = 1.0 mW/cm^2 From IC Safety Code 6, Section 2.2 Table 5 Column 4, S = 10 W/m^2 REPORT NO: 11U13614-2B DATE: JUNE 13, 2011 FCC ID: BCGA1408 IC: 579C-A1408 Page 294 of 299 COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATION SERVICES FORM NO: CCSUP4701C 47173 BENICIA STREET, FREMONT, CA 94538, USA TEL: (510) 771-1000 FAX: (510) 661-0888 This report shall not be reproduced except in full, without the written approval of CCS.
