1.2
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.
CAUTION:
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the grantee of this device could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
Labeling Requirements
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two condi-
tions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interfer-
ence received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
RF Exposure Warning
This equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with provided instructions and the
antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20
cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter. End-users and installers must be provide with antenna installation instructions and trans-
mitter operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance.
Canada, Industry Canada (IC) Notices
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003 and RSS-210. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the Device.
Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure Information
The radiated output power of the Wireless Device is below the Industry Canada (IC) radio frequency
exposure limits. The Wireless Device should be used in such a manner such that the potential for
human contact during normal operation is minimized.
This device has also been evaluated and shown compliant with the IC RF Exposure limits under
mobile exposure conditions. (antennas are greater than 20cm from a person's body).
Canada, avis d'Industry Canada (IC)
Cet appareil numérique de classe B est conforme aux normes canadiennes ICES-003 et RSS-210.
Son fonctionnement est soumis aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) cet appareil ne doit pas causer
d'interférence et (2) cet appareil doit accepter toute interférence, notamment les interférences qui
peuvent affecter son fonctionnement.
Informations concernant l'exposition aux fréquences radio (RF)
La puissance de sortie émise par l’appareil de sans fil est inférieure à la limite d'exposition aux
fréquences radio d'Industry Canada (IC). Utilisez l’appareil de sans fil de façon à minimiser les
contacts humains lors du fonctionnement normal.
Ce périphérique a également été évalué et démontré conforme aux limites d'exposition aux RF d'IC
dans des conditions d'exposition à des appareils mobiles (les antennes se situent à moins de 20 cm
du corps d'une personne).
