WARNING

Holatron Systems specializes in the design and manufacture of standard and custom electronic
control systems where reliability and error free data communication are critical. The repeater
described in this manual is part of a system intended to remotely actuate pyrotechnic or other
hazardous devices, and the components of this system have been carefully designed to
minimize the possibility of accidental actuation of such devices. Holatron’s design goal is to
ensure that data communication errors due to radio interference or to insufficient signal
strength due to low battery, exceeding specified range, or conductive objects in the signal path
will result in failure of intentional actuation rather than unintended actuation. Techniques used
to achieve this design goal are described in section 2.0. Though the probability of unintended
actuation is extremely small, it cannot be guaranteed to be zero. Therefore, it is important that

the user not arm the receiver until all persons who might be harmed by accidental
actuation are in a safe area.

As a condition of purchase, the user must acknowledge awareness and agreement that
utilization of this product and participation in activities utilizing fireworks, rockets, and explosives
is an ultra-hazardous activity carrying implied and explicit risks of injuries and damages to the

Systems, LLC, has not and will not conduct any investigation into the skill, expertise, training
and licensing, as may be applicable or necessary by custom, usage, trade or law, of the user or
of user’s agents, employees and assigns, to engage and participate in the ultra-hazardous
activities connected with the use, purchase, transportation, or employment of this product. User
specifically agrees that Holatron Systems, LLC, its officers, employees, and agents shall not be
liable for any claim, demand, cause of action of any kind whatsoever for, or on account of
death, personal injury, property damage or loss of any kind resulting from or related to user’s or

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.

This equipment has been tested, assigned FCC ID number OI4RPTR418, and found to comply
with the limits for 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 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

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Les changements ou modifications non approuvés expressément par la partie responsable de
la conformité pourrait annuler l'autorité de l'utilisateur à faire fonctionner l'équipement..

This device also 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 interference that may cause undesired operation
of the device.

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio
exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne
