SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Thepossibleresultsofincorrectusearemarkedbyoneofthetwosymbols—"WARNING"and"CAUTION"—dependingonthe
imminence of the danger and the severity of the damage.
WARNING: Ignoring these warnings may cause severe injury or death as a result of incorrect operation.
CAUTION:Ignoringthesecautionsmaycausemoderateinjuryorpropertydamageasaresultofincor
rect operation.
CAUTION
Never disassemble or modify the device, as failures may result.
Do not subject to extreme force and do not pull on the cable or failures may result.
Keep the product dry and avoid exposure to extreme temperatures and humidity.
WARNING
If water or other foreign objects enter the inside of the device, fire or electric shock may result.

Thisdeviceisabletoproducesoundvolumehigherthan85dBSPL.Pleasecheckyourmaximumallowedcontinuousnoiseexposurelevelbasedonyourna
tional employment protection requirements.
WARNING
LISTENING TO AUDIO AT EXCESSIVE VOLUMES CAN CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING DAMAGE. USE AS LOW A VOL
UME AS POSSIBLE. Over exposure to excessive sound levels can damage your ears resulting in permanent noise-induced
hearing loss (NIHL). Please use the following guidelines established by the Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA)
on maximum time exposure to sound pressure levels before hearing damage occurs.

Federal Communications Commission RF Exposure Notice:
Antennas used for the purpose of radiating signals are limited to a maximum gain of 14 dBi. Each antenna must be positioned
to observe minimum separation requirements from all users and bystanders. The following guidelines should be used when
considering separation distances.
Antennas must be placed such that, under normal conditions, personnel cannot come within 72 cm (~2.5 ft.) from any antenna.
Adhering to this minimum separation will ensure that the employee or bystander cannot exceed RF exposures beyond the
maximum permissible limit as defined by 47 CFR 1.1310, i.e., limits for General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure.
