FCC Class B Notice

  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 in-
terference 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.

FCC Radiation Exposure 

  To ensure compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure limits, the antenna used for this transmitter must 

be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 70 cm from all persons and must not be 
co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Installers and end 
users must follow these installation instructions.
