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 modi fications not expressly approved by Wireless Solutions Sweden AB could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

1.3 Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation

The radiated output power of the equipment is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits.
Nevertheless, it is advised to use the equipment in such a manner that the potential for human
contact during normal operation is minimized.
