FCC Radio Frequency Interference Statement
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.
Notes on 5GHz band use
- 5.15-5.25GHz band is restricted to indoor operations only.
- 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.
Compliance with FCC requirement 15.407(c)
Data transmission is always initiated by software, which is the passed down through the MAC, through the digital and analog baseband, and finally to the RF chip. Several special packets are initiated by the MAC. These are the only ways the digital baseband portion will turn on the RF transmitter, which it then turns off at the end of the packet. Therefore, the transmitter will be on only while one of the aforementioned packets is being transmitted. In other words, this device automatically discontinue transmission in case of either absence of information to transmit or operational failure.
Compliance with IC(RSS-210§A9.4.4)
Compliance with IC requirement RSS-210 A9.4.4 Data transmission is always initiated by software, which is the passed down through the MAC, through the digital and analog baseband, and finally to the RF chip. Several special packets are initiated by the MAC. These are the only ways the digital baseband portion will turn on the RF transmitter, which it then turns off at the end of the packet. Therefore, the transmitter will be on only while one of the aforementioned packets is being transmitted. In other words, this device automatically discontinue transmission in case of either absence of information to transmit or operational failure.
Co-location
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
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 Wireless 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 suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. WT-7A has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines.

Battery Life
The length of time batteries can be used and the number of shots that can be uploaded before recharging varies with the condition of the batteries, signal strength, and how camera and WT-7 are used. The following measurements were performed using a fully-charged EN-EL15 battery (1,900 mAh) at a temperature of 23 °C (73.4 °F) while continuously uploading images with an average file size of 5.3 megabytes (equivalent to a large normal-quality JPEG image taken with the D500) to an ftp server configured using Internet Information Services (IIS) under Windows 8.1 over an infrastructure network with the WT-7 in FTP upload mode (all figures are approximate).
Network Wireless (802.11ac) Ethernet (1000BASE-T)
No. of shots uploaded 35,000 100,000
Battery life 240 min. (4 hr.) 390 min. (6.5 hr.)
To ensure maximum battery performance:
- Keep the battery contacts clean. Soiled contacts can reduce battery performance.
- Use EN-EL15 batteries immediately after charging. Batteries will lose their charge if left unused.
- Periodically check the battery level using Network > Options > Battery info.
- The battery level displayed by the camera may vary with changes in temperature.
- A sharp drop in the length of time the battery can hold a charge indicates that the battery must be replaced.
