Interference Statement

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.

Information to the user

NOTE: 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. If not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, it
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 and
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver.

• Connect the equipment to 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 of equipment not expressly approved by the
manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment and the
company’s warranty.

NOTE: The antenna system shall be installed ONLY by experienced antenna
installers who are familiar with local building and safety codes, and
wherever necessary have been licensed by appropriate government
regulatory bodies. Failure to do so may void the Product Warranty, as well
as expose the end-user to legal and/or financial liabilities. Hyperlink

Caution: Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation.

The radiated output power of this product is below the FCC radio exposure limits.
Nevertheless, this product shall be used in such a manner that the potential for
human contact during normal operation is minimized.

Antenna shall be mounted in such a manner as to minimize the potential for
human contact during normal operation. In order to avoid the possibility of
exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the
antenna shall not be less than 20 cm (8 inches) during normal operation.

Hyperlink Technologies is not responsible for any radio or television interference
caused by unauthorized modification of this device or the substitution or attachment
of connecting cables and equipment other than specified by Hyperlink
Technologies. The correction of interference caused by such unauthorized
modification, substitution or attachment will be the responsibility of the user.
