FCC Regulation
FCC ID: OSDSYNEXISTH2 for Synexis TH2 FCC ID: OSDSYNEXISTP2 for Synexis TP2 FCC ID: OSDSYNEXISTS2 for Synexis TS2 FCC ID: OSDSYNEXISRP2 for Synexis RP2
Canada: IC: 3628A-SYNEXISTH2 for Synexis TH2 Canada: IC: 3628A-SYNEXISTP2 for Synexis TP2 Canada: IC: 3628A-SYNEXISTS2 for Synexis TS2 Canada: IC: 3628A-SYNEXISRP2 for Synexis RP2
Part 15.19 Statement
NOTICE:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules [and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada]. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Part 15.21 Statement
NOTICE:
Changes or modifications made to this equipment not expressly approved by (manufacturer name) may void the FCC authorization to operate this equipment.
Part 15.105 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.
1.) If TV channel 13 is used in the area, the installer shall reduce or adjust the RF radiated power so that near-by TV channel 13 receivers do not receive radio interference from the system installed. Suggestions: A test with a TV receiver equipped with “rabbit-ear antenna” and tuned to channel 13 should be conducted, at the perimeter of the user’s intended coverage area and not over-lapping other user’s areas without the latter’s consent. If this does not solve the problem, a channel near the 217 MHz edge and not near 216 MHz should be tried.
2.) For use in Canada only: Law enforcement agencies have exclusive use of the sub-band 216.45-216.50 MHz. Therefore these frequencies are not accessible.
RF Exposure Statement
Radiofrequency radiation exposure Information:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance of 20 cm between the radiator and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
This device may not interfere with TV reception or Federal Government radar.

Synexis TP2 beltpack transmitter
• Clip-on microphones are often very compact. If they are accidentally swallowed there is a risk of choking. Always keep this type of micro-
phone away from small children.
Synexis RP2 beltpack receiver
• The Synexis RP2 receiver can produce sound pressures of more than 85 dB (A). 85 dB(A) is the sound pressure corresponding to the
maximum permissible volume which is by law (in some countries) allowed to affect your hearing for the duration of a working day. It is used as a basis according to the specifications of industrial medicine. Higher volumes or longer durations can damage your hearing. At higher volumes, the duration must be shortened in order to prevent hearing damage. The following are symptoms that you have been exposed to excessive noise for too long a time: – You can hear ringing or whistling sounds in your ears. – You have the impression (even for a short time only) that you can no longer hear high notes.
1.3 NiMH rechargeable batteries, batteries
• The TH2, TP2 transmitters and the RP2 receiver can only be operated with AA (LR6) Mignon alkaline batteries or equivalent NiMH rechargeable
batteries (1600 mAh to 2100 mAh).
• The normal commercial alkaline batteries can have a length tolerance of 2 - 3 mm. When changing the batteries always ensure good contact.
• If the transmitter is not being used for weeks or months, please remove the batteries. Batteries can leak when not being used for a long time
and corrode the conductor strips and components. Repair is not then possible. In this case all warranty claims are null and void. The description “leak proof” on batteries is no guarantee that they will not run out.
• Never take batteries apart yourself. The battery acid contained will damage skin and clothing.
• If abused or misused, rechargeable batteries may leak. In extreme cases, they may even present an explosion, heat, fire, smoke or gas
hazard.
Disposal
• If you throw away the device, please remove the batteries.
• Old batteries may contain substances that are harmful to your health and environment.
• Dispose used batteries always according to the applicable disposal regulations. Please do not throw used battery packs into the fire (danger of
explosion) or your household rubbish, take them to your local collection points. The return is free and required by law. Please dispose discharged batteries only.
• For removing the batteries, please refer to chapter “How to insert/replace the batteries”.
• All batteries are recycled to reclaim valuable material such as iron, zinc or nickel.
