FCC Information

Warning: Modifying, tampering with, or adjusting this unit, or replacing any transmitter component (crystal, semiconductor, etc.) may result in a violation of the FCC rules.

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 your local RadioShack store or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop using your microphone system. Changes or modiﬁcations not expressly approved by RadioShack may cause interference and void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device may not cause harmful interference.

This wireless microphone system complies with Part 90 of the FCC Rules. There are three frequencies available for the system. You must obtain a license for each frequency you plan to use before operating your system. One license can include both frequencies. Visit http://wireless.fcc.gov/uls/, or call your local FCC ofﬁce to apply for your license. Your ability to obtain a license will depend on how you plan to use the system.

For RF exposure

“IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with the FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, no change to the antenna or the device is permitted. Any change to the antenna or the device could result in the system exceeding the RF exposure requirements.”

For devices less than 200mW ERP

SAFETY INFORMATION

Your wireless microphone contains a low power transmitter. When the EUT is powered on, it sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for wireless devices.

IMPORTANT

To maintain compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines, hold the transmitter and antenna at least 1 inch (2.5 centimetres) from your face and speak in a normal voice, with the antenna pointed up and away from the face. Ensure that the antenna is at least 1 inch (2.5 centimetres) from your body when you are using your wireless microphone.

Use only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modiﬁcations, or attachments could damage the transmitter and may violate FCC regulations.
