United States and Canada:
As required, certain of these class B digital devices (the headsets) have been tested by Mad Catz, Inc., 7480 Mission Valley Road, Suite 101, San Diego, CA
92108, and found to comply with part 15 of the FCC rules and the Canadian RSS-210 which sets forth limits designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. These device(s) use, generate and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not assembled, installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. There is no guarantee that interference will not occur in
any particular location or use. 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.
FCC Part 15 section 15.105
Warning: Any changes or modifications made on the system not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation:
The radiated output power of the headset is well within FCC radio frequency exposure limits for this type of device when unaltered and used as described in our
instructions and the controller operates within guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards, which reflect the consensus of the scientific community
and therefore, the manufacturer believes the device’s internal wireless radio is safe for use by consumers. The level of energy emitted is far less than the
electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices such as mobile phones. However, the use of wireless radios may be restricted in some situations (e.g., on
airplanes). If you are unsure of restrictions that may apply in any situation, you must ask for authorization before turning on, connecting or using the controller.
EU DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY:
As required, certain of these products have been tested and conform to the requirements of the European Union Directives 1999/5/EC, 2002/95/EC,
2002/96/EC, and 2004/108/EC. Authorized signatory of the manufacturer is Mad Catz, Inc., 7480 Mission Valley Road, Suite 101, San Diego, CA 92108.
CAUTION
RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE.
DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.
