PRECAUTIONS (Continued)
■ For the power adapter
R WARNING! NEVER use the power adapter with any
device other than the AP-90M. This may result in an electrical
shock, cause a fire or damage the power adapter.
R WARNING! Connect the adapter into an outlet between
100 V and 240 V AC. Otherwise, this may result in an electri-
cal shock, cause a fire or damage the power adapter.
R WARNING! NEVER install the power adapter to wet place
outside or near a humidifier. This may result in an electrical
shock, cause a fire or damage the power adapter.
R WARNING! NEVER put something heavy on the power
adapter cable. This may result in an electrical shock, cause a
fire or damage the power adapter.
R WARNING! NEVER modify, bend by force, twist, pull or
heat the power adapter’s cable. This may result in an electri-
cal shock, cause a fire or damage the power adapter.
R WARNING! NEVER touch the power adapter with wet
hands. This may result in an electrical shock or damage the
power adapter.
R WARNING! Use and place the power adapter and con-
nection cable to avoid inadvertent use by children. This may
result in an electrical shock or
cause injury.
■ Other precautions
• For information about operating the PC or external devices,
refer to their instruction manuals for details.
• The optional power adapter may at some time need to be
replaced, depending on its life expectancy. The life of a pow-
er adapter differs according to the environment or condition
in which the adapter is used.
We recommend replacement when it has been used for ap-
proximately 5 years (When used under the ambient temper-
ature of 25°C; 77°F). Contact your local dealer for details.
RF Exposure Warning
This equipment must be installed and operated in accor-
dance with provided instructions and 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 operated in conjunction with any other an-
tenna or transmitter. End-users and installers must be pro-
vided with antenna installation instructions and transmitter
operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance.
FCC INFORMATION
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Opera-
tion 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.
Changes or modifications to this device, not expressly ap-
proved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate this
device under FCC regulations.
FOR CLASS B UNINTENTIONAL RADIATORS:
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 reason-
able 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 ac-
cordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interfer-
ence to radio communications. However, there is no guaran-
tee 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 re-
ceiver.
• 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 CANADA
Canada, Industry Canada (IC) Notices
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.
i. 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.
ii. 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.
iii. 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.
Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure Information
The radiated output power of the Wireless Device is below
the Industry Canada (IC) radio frequency exposure limits.
The Wireless Device should be used in such a manner such
that the potential for human contact during normal operation
is minimized.
This device has also been evaluated and shown compliant
with the IC RF Exposure limits under mobile exposure con-
ditions. (Antennas must maintain a separation distance of
more than 20cm from a person’s body)
SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
This device was tested and approved with original
accessories to ensure FCC Compliance. The use of third-
party accessories may not comply with FCC RF exposure
compliance requirements, and should be avoided.
■ Precautions on using the wireless LAN
For the USA/Canadian version
• Operation of this device in the 5150 – 5250 MHz frequency
range is restricted to indoor operation only.
• Outdoor operation in the 5150–5250 MHz frequency range
is prohibited.
For all versions
• Use this product outdoors according to your local law.
• We recommend that users with pacemakers take precau-
tions to be sure that this device does not cause them a
problem because of electromagnetic interferences.
• Do not use this device near microwave ovens.
A microwave oven may cause electromagnetic interference
to the communications through this device.
• Do not modify the device. The device warranty does not
cover any problems caused by unauthorized modification.
■ Communicating with the 40/80 MHz
bandwidth
• When you are using the 40 MHz or 80 MHz bandwidth
mode on the wireless LAN, first check the radio wave envi-
ronment around in order to not to interfere other radio sta-
tions.
• In case you have harmfully interfered a radio station using
this device, set the “Bandwidth” to “20 MHz (default).”
Refer to the instruction manual on the Icom website ➥
about the bandwidth details.
This radio transmitter IC: 202D-360300 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 in-
cluded in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this

■ Wireless LAN installation location
Have the following installation conditions under consid-
eration so that the communication range and speed are
not affected.
• Data communication errors may occur if the wireless LAN
terminal and this device are too close to each other. Keep
them at least 1 meter (3.3 ft) away from each other.
• Install the device in as open a place as possible indoors.
• Install the device in a stable place where there is no danger
of falling or vibration.
• Do not place anything on top of this device.
• The communication range expands in an open space. How-
ever, in such location as warehouses with metallic walls, the
walls may cause the radio waves to reflect.
Radio waves may pass through a wall or window, but not
through metal.
Some concrete walls are metal reinforcing structures, and
may intercept the communication.
Heat absorbing glass or IR reflecting glass may intercept
the communication.
• Communication may not be able to be performed with a
wireless LAN installed on a different floor.
