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.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts
de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes :
(1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est
susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
Radiofrequency radiation exposure Information:
The radiated output power of the device is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits.
Nevertheless, the device shall be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during
normal operation is minimized.
This equipment complies with IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and
meets RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment has very low levels of
RF energy that are deemed to comply without testing of specific absorption ratio (SAR).
Cet équipement est conforme aux limites d’exposition aux rayonnements énoncées pour un
environnement non contrôlé et respecte les règles d’exposition aux fréquences radioélectriques (RF)
CNR-102 de l’IC. Cet équipement émet une énergie RF très faible qui est considérée conforme sans
évaluation du débit d’absorption spécifique (DAS).

Usage precautions
■About radio waves used by the clicker
The clicker uses radio waves on the 2.4 GHz band. When using the clicker, a radio station
license is not necessary. However, please note the following precautions.
Do not use the clicker near the following:
■ Microwave ovens or industrial, scientific or medical equipments, such as pacemakers
■ In-factory radio stations for mobile unit identification systems (radio stations that require a
license) used in production lines of factories.
■ Specified low power radio stations (radio stations that do not require a license)
■ IEEE802.11b/g/n wireless LAN devices
When the clicker is used near any of the equipment mentioned above, it is possible that
electric wave interference could occur.
When using the clickers, keep at least 20cm distance between the clickers.
Do not cover the upper part of the clicker with
your hand. The wireless connection with the
wireless adapter may be degraded.
In an environment where there are many
obstacles, the wireless connection with the
wireless adapter may be degraded.
■About wireless equipment used on the 2.4 GHz band
This frequency bandwidth is the same as for industrial, scientific, and medical equipment such
as microwave ovens, mobile unit identification systems (radio stations that require a license)
used in factory production lines, and specified low-power radio stations (radio stations that do
not require a license).
■ Before using this product, check that there are no radio stations for mobile unit identification
systems or specified low-power radio stations nearby.
■ If this product emits radio waves which interfere with in-factory radio stations for mobile unit
identification systems, cease the use immediately and stop generating the radio waves. For
information on countermeasures, etc. (for example, erecting partitions), contact one of our
sales offices whose details are provided at the end of this manual.
■ If this unit emits radio waves which interfere with specified low-power radio stations used for
mobile unit identification systems, or causes similar problems, contact one of our sales offices
whose details are provided at the end of this manual.
