NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communication. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by HM Electronics, Inc. could void the users authority to operate this equipment.
Hereby, HM Electronics, Inc. declares that the DX300ES is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC.
This product operates in the 2400 to 2483.5 MHz frequency range. The use of this frequency range is not yet harmonized between all countries. Some countries may restrict the use of a portion of this band or impose other restriction relating to power level or use. You should contact your Spectrum authority to determine possible restrictions.
WASTE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT (WEEE)
The European Union (EU) WEEE Directive (2002/96/EC) places an obligation on producers (manufacturers, distributors and/or retailers) to take-back electronic products at the end of their useful life. The WEEE Directive covers most HME products being sold into the EU as of August 13, 2005. Manufacturers, distributors and retailers are obliged to finance the costs of recovery from municipal collection points, reuse, and recycling of specified percentages per the WEEE requirements.
Instructions for Disposal of WEEE by Users in the European Union

SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION
The DX300ES is a digital wireless communication system that enables hands­free two-way secure communication on two independent channels, or both channels at the same time. It can be operated with AC or battery power. Multiple base stations can be interconnected for expanded capabilities. In addition to the standard communication among base station and beltpac operators, the system can be configured to operate with almost any radio or digital matrix (4-Wire) communication system.
This manual provides detailed setup and operating instructions for your DX300ES system.
The following examples are of typical DX300ES applications.
