FCC WARNING

Change or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

NOTICE

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.

(MCX-A300/MCX-P200 only)

This equipment compiles with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that it deemed to comply without maximum permissive exposure evaluation (MPE). But it is desirable that it should be installed and operated with at least 20 cm and more between the radiator and person’s body (excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and ankles).

(MCX-RC100 only)

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 to 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. MCX-RC100 has been tested and found to comply with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.

This symbol mark is according to the EU directive 2002/96/EC.This symbol mark means that electrical and electronic equipment, at their end-of-life, should be disposed of separately from your household waste. Please act according to your local rules and do not dispose of your old products with your normal household waste.

This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

■ Precautions

Read this before using this unit.

To assure the finest performance, please read this manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.

1Install this unit in a cool, dry, clean place away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and sources of excessive vibration, dust, moisture, and/or cold. (Do not use/keep this unit in a car etc.)

2Locate this unit away from other electrical appliances, motors, or transformers to avoid humming sounds.

3Do not expose this unit to sudden temperature changes from cold to hot, and do not locate this unit in an environment with high humidity (i.e. a room with a humidifier) to prevent condensation inside this unit, which may cause an electrical shock, fire, damage to this unit, and/or personal injury.

4Do not clean this unit with chemical solvents; this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

5Do not attempt to modify or fix this unit. Contact qualified Yamaha service personnel when any service is needed. The cabinet should never be opened for any reason.

6Be sure to read the “Troubleshooting” section (online manual) regarding common operating errors before concluding that the unit is faulty.

7Before moving this unit, disconnect all AC plugs from the wall outlets.

8Be sure to use the AC adapters supplied with this unit. Using an AC adapter other than those provided may cause fire or damage to this unit.

9Install this unit near the wall outlet and where the AC plugs can be reached easily.

10For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

■ Notes on the internal battery

•Do not attempt to replace the internal battery by yourself. If you need a battery change, please contact the nearest authorized Yamaha dealer or service center.

•Danger of explosion may occur if battery/device is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type battery recommended by the manufacturer.

•Do not dispose of batteries/device in a fire. They may explode. Check with local authorities for disposal instructions.

•Do not use or leave the battery pack/device near a heat source. Heat can melt the insulation and damage other safety features, possibly leading it to leak acid, overheat, emit smoke, burst and/or ignite.

•Do not immerse the battery pack/device in water or allow it to get wet. Its protective features can be damaged. Abnormal chemical reactions may occur, possibly leading it to leak acid, overheat, emit smoke, burst and/or ignite.

•Do not crush, disassemble, puncture, or incinerate the short external contacts of a battery pack/device.

•Do not connect the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals with a metal object such as wire. Shortcircuiting may occur leading the battery pack/device to leak acid, overheat, emit smoke, burst and/or ignite.
