FCC Compliance Statement
Digital Life User Manual | Page iof viii ATT-UM-V1.1-201303
FCC Regulations
The following FCC Regulations apply to most, if not all, 915MHz and 433MHz devices:
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 undesired operation.
This device 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.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter.
FCC Compliance Statement for UL Certification
The following is the FCC Compliance Statement as it applies to UL Certification:
This device complies with FCC Rules and Regulations as Part 15 devices as
well as Industry Canada Rules and Regulations. Operation is subject to the
following two (2) conditions:
•This device may not cause harmful intereference.
•This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.

RF Exposure Information
This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.
This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to
radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S.
Government.
This device complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. In order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure
limits, human proximity to the antenna shall not be less than 20cm (8 inches) during normal
operation.
Important Information About Radio Devices
The following information is important when installing radio (wireless) devices:
1. AT&T radio controls provide a reliable communications link and fill an important need in
portable wireless signaling. However, there are some limitations which must be
observed.
2. For US installations only: the radios are required to comply with FCC rules and
regulations including FCC part 15 devices. As such, they have limited transmitter power
and therefore limited range.
3. A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal at a time and may be
blocked by radio signals that occur on or near their operating frequencies regardless of
code settings.
4. Changes or modifications to the device may void FCC compliance
5. Infrequently used radio links should be tested regularly to protect against undetected
interference or fault.
6. RF signals can be affected by metal objects including metal doors or large mirrors. Care
should be taken to avoid these objects during installation as they can interfere with
proper operation.
WARNING!
The polarity of the battery must be observed. Improper handling of lithium batteries may result in
heat generation, explosion or fire, which may lead to personal injuries. Replace only with the
same as recommended by the manufacturer. Use of another battery may present a risk of fire or
corrosion.
CAUTION: Batteries should not be recharged, disassembled in heat above 100ºC (212ºF)
or disposed of in fire. Disposal of used batteries must be made in accordance with the waste
recovery and recycling regulations in your area.
Notice to users in California─This Perchlorate warning applies only to Manganese
Dioxide Lithium cells sold or distributed only in California, USA. Percolate Material
special handling may apply. See www.dtsc.gov.hazardouswaste/perchlorate.

Safety Instructions
Digital Life User Manual | Page iii of viii ATT-UM-V1.1-201303
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug
has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a
third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the
provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the
obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution
when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus
has been damaged in any way, such as a power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has
been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to
rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
Power Source Warning
A label on this product indicates the correct power source for this product. Operate this
product only from an electrical outlet with the voltage and frequency indicated on the
product label. If you are uncertain of the type of power supply to your home or business,
consult your service provider or your local power company.

Safety Instructions
Digital Life User Manual | Page iv of viii ATT-UM-V1.1-201303
Ground the Product
WARNING! Avoid electric shock and fire hazard! If this product connects to
coaxial cable wiring, be sure the cable system is grounded (earthed).
Grounding provides some protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges.
Verify the Power Source from the On/Off Power Light
When the on/off power light is not illuminated, the apparatus may still be connected to
the power source. The light may go out when the apparatus is turned off, regardless of
whether it is still plugged into an AC power source.
Eliminate AC Mains Overloads
WARNING! Avoid electric shock and fire hazard! Do not overload AC mains,
outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles. For products
that require battery power or other power sources to operate them, refer to
the operating instructions for those products.

WARNING! Avoid electric shock and fire hazard! Do not expose this product to
dripping or splashing liquids, rain, or moisture. Objects filled with liquids, such
as vases, should not be placed on this apparatus.
WARNING! Avoid electric shock and fire hazard! Unplug this product before
cleaning. Do not use a liquid cleaner or an aerosol cleaner. Do not use a
magnetic/static cleaning device (dust remover) to clean this product.
WARNING! Avoid electric shock and fire hazard! Never push objects through
the openings in this product. Foreign objects can cause electrical shorts that
can result in electric shock or fire.
Service Warnings
WARNING! Avoid electric shock! Do not open the cover of this product.
Opening or removing the cover may expose you to dangerous voltages. If you
