MPE5AC33A radio module in order to comply with regulatory requirements. HOST CONTROLLER This module is only to be used for installation in Ruckus Wireless, Inc. products. The host must supply regulated voltage to the radio module. POWER SETTING Maximum output power must comply with the power limits identified on the FCC Grant, Industry Canada REL listing, or as identified by other regulatory authorities. Power measurements are conducted measurements at the antenna ports. ALLOWED ANTENNAS The module is only to be used with antennas approved by Ruckus Wireless, Inc. Use of an antenna of higher gain or of a different type than the antennas included in the FCC submission requires additional testing and submission to the FCC. ANTENNA PLACEMENT The antennas used with this module may only be collocated as identified on the FCC grant. Simultaneous transmissions are allowed as identified within the FCC submission. This module is not intended for mobile applications. Antenna installation within 20cm of the human body is not permitted. DEVICE LABELING The host device containing this module must either: 1) Make the module label visible so the FCC ID is visible in the end construction 2) Label the end product with the FCC ID and IC ID of the module. For example “Contain FCC ID: S9G-MPE5AC33A” or “Contains IC: 5912A-MPE5AC33A”

Page 1 Federal Communications Commission Notices This product 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. Caution: Changes or modifications to this equipment that have not been approved by Ruckus Wireless may void the user's authority to operate this equipment. For Class B Equipment: 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. —Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. For Class A Equipment: 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. Operation 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. Industry Canada 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. Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante. 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. Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement. The device for operation in the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor use to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems; the maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5470-5725 MHz shall comply with the e.i.r.p. limit; and the maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the band 5725-5825 MHz shall comply with the e.i.r.p. limits specified for point-to-point and non point-to-point operation as appropriate. Le dispositif de fonctionnement dans la bande 5150-5250 MHz est réservé à une utilisation en intérieur pour réduire le risque d'interférences nuisibles à la co-canal systèmes mobiles par satellite, le gain d'antenne maximal autorisé pour les appareils dans les bandes 5250-5350 MHz et 5470-5725 MHz doit se conformer à la pire limite, et le gain d'antenne maximal autorisé pour les appareils dans la bande 5725-5825 MHz doivent être conformes avec le pire limites spécifiées à point-à-ponctuelles et non point-à-point de fonctionnement selon qu'il convient. Operation in the 5600-5650 MHz band is not allowed in Canada. High-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e. priority users) of the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz and that these radars could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices. Opération dans la bande 5600-5650 MHz n'est pas autorisée au Canada. Haute puissance radars sont désignés comme utilisateurs principaux (c. -à- utilisateurs prioritaires) des bandes 5250-5350 MHz et 5650-5850 MHz et que ces radars pourraient causer des interférences et / ou des dommages à dispositifs LAN-EL. Radiation Exposure Statement The device has been found to be compliant to the requirements set forth in CFR 47 Sections 2.1091 and Industry Canada RSS-102 for an uncontrolled environment. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Le dispositif a été jugé conforme aux exigences énoncées dans les articles 47 CFR…
