This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits fora
Class
8 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.
You
are
cautioned
that
any changes or
modifications
not
expressly approved in this
manual could void your authority to operate this
equipment.
This device complies with Part
15
of
the
FCC
Rules
and Industry Canada licence-exempt
RSS
standard(s).
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
of
the device.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated
in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio
transmitter may only operate using
an
antenna
of
a
type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for
the transmitter by Industry Canada.
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 necessary for successful
communication.
This equipment complies with
FCC/IC
radiation
exposure limits set forth for
an
uncontrolled
environment and meets the
FCC
radio frequency
(RF)
Exposure Guidelines and
RSS-102
of
the
IC
radio frequency
(RF)
Exposure rules. This
equipment
has
very low levels
of
RF
energy
that
it
deemed to comply
without
maximum permissive
exposure evaluation
(MPE).
But
it
is
desirable
that
it
should be installed and operated keeping the
radiator at least 20
em
or more away from person's
body.
