Warning and Safety Information
IC Caution
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interfer-
ence, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should
be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that
required for successful communication. This device has been designed to operate with an
antenna having a maximum gain of 2 dBi. Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited
per regulations of Industry Canada. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should
be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that
permitted for successful communication.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
IC Radiation Exposure Statement
This EUT is compliance with SAR for general population/uncontrolled exposure limits in IC
RSS-102 and had been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and procedures
specified in IEEE 1528. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum dis-
tance 1.5cm between the radiator & your body.
Body Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with IC RF exposure requirements, use only belt-clips, holsters
or similar accessories that does not contain metallic components in its assembly. The
use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with IC RF
exposure requirements, and should be avoided.

General Precautions
SIRIUS disclaims all liability for hearing loss, bodily injury, or property damage as a result of
the use or misuse of this product.
Volume and Hearing Safety Precautions
When listening to your Stiletto, be aware of your surroundings. The use of earbuds or
headphones while riding a bike or operating a vehicle or motorcycle may be prohibited by
law, and is not recommended.
If you experience ringing in the ears while listening, stop using the Stiletto and consult a
medical professional.
When using your Stiletto, start the volume low and gradually turn it up to a medium level
which you can hear. If the ambient sounds around you are noisy or loud, do not turn the
volume up to high level. Find a quieter location instead.
Permanent hearing loss can occur if you set the volume too high. Your ears adapt to the
loud volume and can be permanently damaged.
The use of earbuds or headphones for an extended period of time can cause serious
damage to your ears. Wearing them for prolonged periods of time or while sleeping is not
recommended.
Liquid Crystal Precautions
If the LCD screen on the Stiletto is damaged, do not to touch the liquid crystal fluid. If any of
the following situations happen, take the action indicated:
If the liquid crystal fluid comes in contact with your skin, wipe the skin area with a cloth
and then wash the skin thoroughly with soap and running water.
If the liquid crystal fluid gets into your eye, flush the eye with clean water for at least 15
minutes. Seek medical care.
If the liquid crystal fluid is ingested, flush your mouth thoroughly with water. Drink large
quantities of water and induce vomiting. Seek medical care.
General Safety Precautions
