Caution:

You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this manual could void your authority to operate this 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.

Notes on use

• Two transmitters on the same frequency cannot be used simultaneously.

• Please be aware that interference may be generated from the surrounding electromagnetic environment and/or from using multiple units.

• The wireless system may be affected by electromagnetic noise from automobile spark plugs, light dimmers, computers, OA devices, or electrical music instruments. Position the components of the system in a place where it is less likely to be affected.

• Only use this product in combination with devices specified by the manufacturer.

• Insert the plugs of connecting cables securely into their mating connectors.

• Radio waves in the UHF band propagate mainly by line of sight. Configure system so there are no obstructions between the transmitter and receiver.

• Do not use outside the USA. Use abroad may be punished according to the laws of the relevant country.

• Unplug the product when unused for long periods of time.

• Use 120 V AC power source. Refer to "Specifications" for product ratings.

Using multiple wireless systems

• When using multiple units simultaneously, maintain approximately 1 meter or more between individual transmitters and

approximately 10 meters or more between transmitters and receivers.

•

When using multiple units, power on transmitters one by one, making sure there is no unwanted noise.

Maintenance

• When you unplug the power cable, if the plug is dusty or dirty, wipe it off with a soft, dry cloth.

• Do not use anything like benzene or paint thinner to clean the product.

• When storing the system for an extended period, wrap the device in plastic to protect it from dust.
