FCC 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.
FCC Caution:To assure continued compliance, follow the attached

installation instructions and use only shielded interface cables when
connecting to peripheral devices. Any changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user’s authority to operate this equipment.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

Contains FCC ID: RYYWYPAEBUX4
Contains IC:4389B-WYPAEBUX4

This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.

This product is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to

5.25 GHz frequency range.
FCC and IC require this product to be used indoors for the frequency range

5.15 to 5.25 GHz to reduce the potential for harmful interference to
co-channel Mobile Satellite systems. 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 product.

This equipment complies with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for
an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF)
Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC
radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment has very low levels of
RF energy that it deemed to comply without maximum permissive exposure
evaluation (MPE). But it is desirable that it should be installed and operated
keeping the radiator at least 20cm or more away from person’s body
(excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and ankles).

≥ Be careful not to cross (short-circuit) or reverse the polarity of the speaker wires as doing so may damage the speakers.
≥ Don’t use a front speaker as a surround speaker or vice versa. Verify the type of speaker with the label on the rear of the speaker before

connecting the appropriate cable.

≥ To avoid injury by falling or dropping the speaker, place the speaker cables with care not to stumble or hook.
≥ Do not hold the speaker in one hand to avoid injury by dropping the speaker when carrying.

[BTT770] [BTT370] [BTT273]

∫ Preventing the speakers from falling

≥ Consult a qualified housing contractor concerning the appropriate procedure when attaching to a concrete wall or a surface that

may not have strong enough support. Improper attachment may result in damage to the wall or speakers.

∫ Wireless system

To avoid interference, maintain the following distances
between the wireless system and other electronic devices
that use the same radio frequency (2.4 GHz band).

The wireless system will automatically seek a clear channel if
any of these other devices interfere with its communication.
When this happens, there is a brief interruption in audio
coming from the surround speakers.

This is the normal operation of the product working to assure
the best possible performance of your home theater system.

If the interference persists, try moving the other devices to
another location outside the range of the wireless system or
move the wireless system nearer to the main unit.
