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:

ˋ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

ˋ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which

the receiver is connected.

ˋ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

This equipment must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other

antenna or transmitter.

The following FCC/IC statement applies only to the version of this model

manufactured for sale in the U.S.A. and Canada. Other versions may not comply

with FCC/IC technical regulations.

This equipment complies with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an

uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure

Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 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

cm or more away from person's body (excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet

and ankles).

For customers in Canada

This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s).

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.
