Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
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 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.
Caution: Changes or modications not expressly approved
by HARMAN could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
For Products That Transmit RF Energy
FCC AND IC INFORMATION FOR USERS
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and Industry
Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). 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/IC Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC/IC RSS-102 radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
FCC Caution:
High power radars are allocated as primary users of the 5.25 to
5.35 GHz and 5.65 to 5.85 GHz bands. These radar stations
can cause interference with and/or damage this device. No
conguration controls are provided for this wireless equipment
allowing any change in the frequency of operations outside the
FCC grant of authorization for US operation according to Part
15.407 of the FCC rules.
IC Caution:
User should also be advised that:
(i) The device for operation in the band 5150-5250 MHz is only
for indoor use to reduce the potential for harmful interference to
co-channel mobile satellite systems; (ii) the maximum antenna
gain permitted for devices in the bands 5250-5350 MHz and
5470-5725 MHz shall comply with the e.i.r.p. Limit: and (iii)
The maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the band
5725-5825 MHz shall comply with the e.i.r.p. Limits specied for
point-to-point and non-point-to-point operation as appropriate.
(iv) Users should also be advised that high-power radars are
allocated as primary users (i.e. priority users) of the bands 5250-
5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz and that these radars could
cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.
Exposure of humans to RF fields (RSS-102)
The computers employ low gain integral antennas that do not
emit RF eld in excess of Health Canada limits for the general
population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health
Canada’s Website at http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/
The radiated energy from the antennas connected to the wireless
adapters conforms to the IC limit of the RF exposure requirement
regarding IC RSS-102, Issue 5 clause 4. SAR tests are conducted
using recommended operating positions accepted by the FCC/
RSS with the device transmitting at its highest away from the
body. Non-compliance with the above restrictions may result in
a violation of FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Use Restriction: Attention in France, the operation is limited to
indoor use within the band 5150-5350 Mhz.
For Products with Radio Receivers That Can
Use an External Antenna (USA ONLY)

Precautions
Stand Mounting Safety Precautions
Always follow instruction and precaution advise from
speaker stand manufacturer.
Partybox 100 contains a 36 mm receptacle cup to allow mounting
on tripod stands or on a pole over subwoofers. When using
stands or poles, be sure to observe the following precautions:
• Check the stand or pole specication to be certain the device
is designed to support the weight of the speaker. Observe all
safety precautions specied by the manufacturer.
• Always verify that the stand (or subwoofer/pole) is placed on
a at, level and stable surface and be sure to fully extend the
legs of tripod type stands. Position the stand so that the legs
do not present a trip hazard.
Use this oor stand only on a at, solid surface. Once the support
(extended leg) has been placed and adjusted, carefully tighten
the screws and use the safety pin. After placing the speaker
on the stand, check for stability: When tilting each direction to
10 degrees (for the surface), the speaker should not turn off. If
necessary, reduce the height of the speakers and extend the
base of the stand.
• Route cables so that performers, production crew, and
audience will not trip and topple the speakers over.
• Inspect the stand (or pole and associated hardware) before
each use and do not use equipment with worn, damaged or
missing parts.
• Do not attempt to place more than one PartyBox series
speaker on a stand or pole.
• Always be cautious in windy, outdoor conditions. It may
be necessary to place additional weight (i.e. sandbags) on
the base of the stand to improve stability. Avoid attaching
banners or similar items to any part of a speaker system.
Such attachments could act as a sail and topple the system.
• Unless you are condent that you can handle the weight of
the speaker, ask another person to help you get it onto the
tripod stand or pole.
