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.
Note:
This
equipment
has
been
tested
and
found
to
comply
with
the
limits
for
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
use
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
radiofTV
technician
for
help.
Use
of
shielded
cable
is
required
to
comply
with
class
B
limits
in
Subpart
B
of
Part
15
of
FCC
Rules.
Do
not
make
any
changes
or
modifications
to
the
equipment
unless
otherwise
specified
in
the
manual.
If
such
changes
or
modifications
should
be
made,
you
could
be
required
to
stop
operation
of
the
equipment.
ModeiiD0002
(including

This
device
complies
with
Industry
Canada
license-exempt
RSS
standard(s).
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.
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.
This
model
has
been
tested
and
found
to
comply
with
FCC/IC
radiation
exposure
limits
set
forth
for
an
uncontrolled
equipment
and
