Confirming the
usage area
Wireless communication
range
The wireless communication range of
each device in the system from the hub
is approximately 50 m (160 feet)
indoors and approximately 300 m
(1,000 feet) outdoors. Wireless

when the following obstacles are
located between the hub and other
devices.
RMetal doors or screens
RWalls containing aluminum-sheet
insulation
RWalls made of concrete or
corrugated iron
RDouble-pane glass windows
RMultiple walls
RWhen using each device on
separate floors or in different
buildings
Note:
RYou can use the siren’s LED
indicator to confirm the siren’s
communication status (page 7). If
the LED indicator is lit in green or is
blinking quickly in red, the siren is
communicating properly with the
hub.
Usage area cautions
Using the siren in the following areas
may cause deformation, malfunction, or
operational failure.
RIn direct sunlight
RAreas exposed to grease or steam,
such as kitchens
RNear fire or heating devices
RNear magnetic fields (such as near
microwaves and magnets)
RAreas subject to extreme
temperature changes, such as next
to air conditioners
RAreas with reflective objects, such
as glass, that can interfere with
detection of temperature variation
RAreas where the temperature is
affected by strong illuminating
objects (such as fluorescent lights)
RNear devices that emit strong radio
waves, such as mobile phones

FCC and other
information
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.
Privacy of communications may not be
ensured when using this device.
CAUTION:
Any changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void
the user’s authority to operate this
device.
NOTE:
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.
Some devices operate at frequencies
that may cause interference to nearby
TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent
such interference, the devices should
not be placed near or on top of a TV or
VCR. If interference is experienced,
move this device away from the TV or
VCR. This will often reduce or eliminate
interference.
FCC RF Exposure Warning:
RThis product complies with FCC
radiation exposure limits set forth for
an uncontrolled environment.
RTo comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, the device must be
installed and operated 20 cm
(8 inches) or more between the
product and all person’s body.
RThis product may not be collocated
or operated in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.
RFor body-worn operation, the device
must be used only with a
non-metallic accessory. Use of other
accessories may not ensure
compliance with FCC RF exposure
requirements.
