Statements

United States—Federal Communication Commission (FCC)

the LonWorks Device Installation dialog box.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation

is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not

cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any

interference received, including interference that may cause unde-

sired operation.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with

the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC

Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection

against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a

commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can

radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accor-

dance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to

radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential

area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will

be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Warning: Changes or modifi cations not expressly approved by Xmark

could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Warranty

Xmark’s products are warranted against defects in materials and

workmanship and shall perform in accordance with published speci-

fi cations for a period of one year. Instantel Inc. reserves the right to

change specifi cations without notice.

Limitation of Liability

This Product has been designed for use to assist personnel in sum-

moning help when they are under personal duress and/or locate

assets.

The range, accuracy, function and performance of this Product

may vary from the published specifi cations due to many factors,

including, without limitation, site impairments from structural

effects, metal objects in the vicinity, placement of the receiver and

transmitter, interference from other electrical devices, atmospheric

effects, installation, and maintenance. There may be other factors,

which also affect performance of this Product.

Instantel does not guarantee that this Product will detect 100% of

the calls for personal assistance and locate all assets 100% of the time.

Instantel does not guarantee that this Product will not return false

reports of calls for personal assistance and/or location of assets.

Monthly testing and maintenance of this Product, as described in the

Product documentation, is essential to verify the system is operating

correctly and to ensure that the probability of detecting an alarm

and/or locating the transmitter are maximized.

The failure to undertake regular testing and maintenance will increase

the risk of system failure and failure to report personal duress calls

and/or failure to locate assets. The failure to undertake regular test-

ing and maintenance will increase the risk of false reports of calls for

personal assistance and/or location of assets.

Instantel hereby disclaims all warranties, express or implied, arising

out of or in connection with any of its Products of the use or perfor-

mance thereof, including but not limited to, where allowable by law,

all other implied warranties or conditions of merchantable quality

and fi tness for a particular purpose and those arising by statute or

otherwise in law or from a course of dealing or usage of trade.
