Transmit Power Control (TPC) for 5GHz Operation

The end user must follow the procedures explained in this User’s Manual in order to operate this device in accordance

with European regulatory requirements for Transmit Power control.

European Regulatory requirements specify that wireless adapters must employ Transmit Power Control (TPC) to reduce

the potential for interference to other communication systems operating in the 5GHz frequency bands. The TPC feature

implemented in this Wireless LAN device must be configured by the end user when operating in any European

Community country.

The required configuration procedure for Transmit Power Control (TPC) is found in “European Regulatory

Requirements for Transmit Power Control” on page 4-9 of this User’s Manual.

Note: The TPC procedure should be repeated when relocating the wireless adapter within the current wireless network

or to a wireless network in a new location.
