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.

Radiofrequency radiation exposure Information:
This equipment complies with FCC and IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an

uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum
distance of 50 cm between the radiator and your body.

This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.

Cet équipement est conforme aux limites d'exposition aux rayonnements IC établies pour un
Environnement non contrôlé. Cet équipement doit être installé et utilisé avec un minimum de
50 cm de distance entre la source de rayonnement et votre corps.

Ce transmetteur ne doit pas être place au même endroit ou utilise simultanément avec un
