SAFETY INFORMATION

Do not use the TUNER if the device or the detector looks damaged, or if you suspect that the TUNER is
not operating properly.

Appropriate installation must be done for water-cooled and fan-cooled detectors. Refer to the specific
instructions for more information. The user must wait for a while before handling these detectors after
power is applied. Surfaces of the detectors get very hot and there is a risk of injury if they are not allowed
to cool down.

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 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, it is
suggested to try to correct the interference by taking one or more of the following steps:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the distance between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment to an outlet that is on a different circuit than the receiver.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved in writing by Gentec-EO Inc. may

void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
