Note: NOTE 1 to Table 1: Occupational/controlled limits apply in situations in which persons are exposed as
a consequence of their employment provided those persons are fully aware of the potential for exposure and
can exercise control over their exposure.
Limits for occupational/controlled exposure also apply in situations when an individual is transient through a
location where occupational/controlled limits apply provided he or she is made aware of the potential for
exposure
Note: NOTE 2 to Table 1: General population/uncontrolled exposures apply in situations in which the
general public may be exposed, or in which persons that are exposed as a consequence of their employment
may not be fully aware of the potential for exposure or cannot exercise control over their exposure.

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 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.
Note: Modification of this device may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
