FCC Compliance Statement

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of this device. This transmitter must not be co-located or

operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. The Bluetooth antenna cannot be removed (or replaced) by user. This equipment complies with

FCC/ IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines and RSS-102 of the IC
radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that it deemed to comply without maximum permissive exposure

evaluation (MPE). But it is desirable that it should be installed and operated keeping the radiator at least 20 cm or more away from person’s body
(excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and ankles). Alteration or modifications carried out without appropriate authorization may invalidate the user’s right
to operate the 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 F CC 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: □ Relocate or reorient 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.
