FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) STATE-

MENTS

This equipment has been tested and found to 

comply with the limits for a Class B digital de-

vice, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. 

These limits are designed to provide reason-

able protection against harmful interference 

in a residential installation. This equipment 

generates, uses and can radiate radio fre-

quency 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 inter-

ference 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.

In order to maintain compliance with FCC regulations, shielded 

cables must be used with this equipment. Operation with non-ap-

proved equipment or unshielded cables is likely to result in interfer-

ence to radio and TV reception. The user is cautioned that changes 

and modifications made to the equipment without the approval of 

manufacturer could void the users authority to operate this equip-

ment.

NOTE: 

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. 

Operations subjected to the following two conditions (1) this device 

may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept 

any interference received, including that may cause undesirable in-

terference.

CAUTION:

 Exposure to Radio Frequency Radia-

tion.

The device shall be used in such a manner that the potential for hu-

man contact is minimized
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set 

forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be 

installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between 

the radiator and your body.

CAUTION:

 Regulations of the FCC and FAA 

prohibit airborne operation of radio-frequency 

wireless devices because there signals could 

interfere with critical aircraft instruments. 

CAUTION:

 If the device is changed or modified 

without permission from RED, the user may 

void his or her authority to operate the equip-

ment.
