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.
You are cautioned that any changes or
modifications not expressly approved in this
manual could void your authority to operate this
equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules
and Industr y Canada’s licence-exempt RSSs.
Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
(1) This device may not cause interference; and
(2) This device must accept any interference,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated
in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio
transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a
type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for
the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce
potential radio interference to other users, the
antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that
the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.)
is not more than that necessary for successful
communication.
This equipment complies with FCC/IC radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment and meets the FCC radio frequency
(RF) Exposure Guidelines and RSS-102 of the IC
radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This
equipment has very low levels of RF energy that is
deemed to comply without maximum permissive
exposure evaluation (MPE).
