sary when any heater is used by
or near children or invalids and
whenever the unit is left operating
and unattended.

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 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.

This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. 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.

FCC CAUTION: Any changes or

modications not expressly approved by

the party responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate this
equipment.

This device complies with Industry
Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) this device may not
cause interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference, including

Under Industry Canada regulations, this
radio transmitter may only operate using
an antenna of a type and maximum (or
lesser) gain approved for the transmitter
by Industry Canada. To reduce potential
radio interference to other users, the
antenna type and its gain should be so
chosen that the equivalent isotropically
radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more
than that necessary for successful
communication.
