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.
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 needed.
• 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.
Shielded cables must be used with this unit to ensure
compliance with the Class B FCC limits.
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.
