Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. ese limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. is 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 o
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.

e available scienti c evidence does not show that any health problems are
associated with using low power wireless devices. ere is no proof, however,
that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless
devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave
range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health e ects
(by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating
e ects causes no known adverse health e ects. Many studies of low level RF
exposures have not found any biological e ects. Some studies have suggested
that some biological e ects might occur, but such ndings have not been
con rmed by additional research.
