IMPORTANT NOTE
To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements,
the following antenna installation and device
operating congurations must be satised: the
antenna has been installed by the manufacturer
and no change can be made.
is device and its antenna(s) must not be
co-located or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.
e available scientic 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 eects (by
heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that
does not produce heating eects causes no known
adverse health eects. Many studies of low-level
RF exposures have not found any biological
eects. Some studies have suggested that some
biological eects might occur, but such ndings
have not been conrmed by additional research.
DSC-G3 has been tested and found to comply
with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for
an uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC
radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in
