The following FCC
statement applies only
to the version of this
model manufactured for
sale in the U.S.A. Other
versions may not
comply with FCC
technical regulations.
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
connected.
– Consult the dealer or an
experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
CAUTION
You are cautioned that any changes
or modifications not expressly
approved in this manual could void
your authority to operate this
equipment.
This equipment must not be
co-located or operated in conjunction
with any other antenna or
transmitter.
The available scientific evidence
does not show that any health
problems are associated with using
low power wireless devices.
There 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 effects (by heating
tissue), exposure of low-level RF
that does not produce heating effects
causes no known adverse health
effects. Many studies of low-level
RF exposures have not found any
biological effects. Some studies have
suggested that some biological
effects might occur, but such
findings have not been confirmed by
additional research. [Network
Remote Controller (RMN-U1)] has
been tested and found to comply
with FCC radiation exposure limits
set forth for an uncontrolled
environment and meets the FCC
radio frequency (RF) Exposure
Guidelines in Supplement C to
OET65.
For customers in
Canada
This Class B digital apparatus
complies with Canadian ICES-003.
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 this device.
The available scientific evidence
does not show that any health
problems are associated with using
