Notices for Customers in Canada CAN ICES-3 B / NMB-3 B 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, includ- ing interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
FCC/IC 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 Wire- less 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 sug- gested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. The 1 J4, which is equipped with a LBWA1ZZYM6 (FCC ID:VPYLBYM / IC ID:772C-LBYM) wireless LAN module, has been tested and found to comply with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. Please refer to the SAR test report that was uploaded to FCC website.

Notices for Customers in Europe Hereby, Nikon Corporation, declares that the 1 J4 is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC. The declaration of conformity may be consulted at http://imaging.nikon.com/support/pdf/DoC_1J4.pdf
Notice for Customers in Singapore
This device complies with radio-frequency regulations. The content of certifi- cation labels not affixed to the device is given below.
Security Although one of the benefits of this product is that it allows others to freely connect for the wireless exchange of data anywhere within its range, the fol- lowing may occur if security is not enabled: Data theft: Malicious third-parties may intercept wireless transmissions to
steal user IDs, passwords, and other personal information. Unauthorized access: Unauthorized users may gain access to the network
and alter data or perform other malicious actions. Note that due the design of wireless networks, specialized attacks may allow unauthorized access even when security is enabled.
