FCC Statements

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.  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.
Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
NOTE: 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 gen-
erates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not in-
stalled 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 equip-
ment 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.

SW70-H & SW70-T Transmitters
The Sabine handheld and beltpack transmitters comply with the FCC
part 15 section 249 requirements for frequency and field strength: 2400
– 2483.5 MHz.

Field strength of Fundamental:  50 millivolts per meter when mea-
sured at 3 meters distance

Field strength of Harmonics:  500 microvolts per meter when
measured at 3 meters distance

Canadian Compliance Statement

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise
emissions from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regu-
lations of the Canadian Department of Communications.
Le present appareil numerique n’emet pas de bruits radioelectriques
depassant les limites applicables aux appareils numeriques de la class
B prescrites dans le Reglement sur le brouillage radioelectrique edicte
par le ministere des Communications du Canada.

WARNING!

Battery Caution

DO NOT BURN OR PUNCTURE BAT-
TERY.  DOING SO COULD RELEASE TOXIC
MATERIALS WHICH COULD CAUSE IN-
JURY.

DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT

MUST BE RECYLED OR DISPOSED
OF PROPERLY.

1.

Read all safety and operating instructions before using this product.

2.

All safety and operating instructions should be retained for future
reference.

3.

Obey all cautions in the operating instructions and on the unit.

4.

All operating instructions should be followed.

5.

Use only shielded audio and data cables.

6.

This product should not be used in the presence of moisture or rain,
or near any water, i.e., a bathtub, sink, swimming pool, wet base-
ment, etc.

7.

This product should be located so that its position does not interfere
with proper ventilation. Do not use in direct sunlight.  Do not place
flat against a wall or in a built-in enclosure that will impede the flow
of cooling air.

8.

This product should not be placed near a source of heat such as a
stove or radiator.

9.

Connect only to a power supply of the type marked on the unit
adjacent to the power entry module.

10. Never break off the ground pin on the power supply cord.
11. Power supply cords should always be handled carefully. Never walk

or place equipment on power supply cords. Periodically check cords
for cuts or signs of stress, especially at the plug and the point where
the cord exits the unit.

12. The power supply cord should be unplugged when the unit is to be

unused for long periods of time.

13. Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not

spilled into the unit through the ventilation holes or any other
openings.

14. This unit should be checked by a qualified service technician if:

A. The power supply cord or plug has been damaged.
B. Anything has fallen or been spilled into the unit.
C. The unit does not operate correctly.
D. The unit has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.

15. The user should not attempt to service this equipment. All service

work should be done by a qualified service technician.

16.  CAUTIONS & WARRANTY

Cautions & Warranty

CAUTION - Implanted cardiac pacemakers or AICD devices:
Any source of RF (radio frequency) energy may interfere with normal functioning of the implanted device. All wireless microphones have
Iow-power transmitters (less than 0.05 watts output) that are unlikely to cause difficulty, especially if they are at least a few inches away.
However, since a beltpack transmitter typically is placed against the body, Sabine suggests attaching it at the belt, rather than in a shirt
pocket where it may be immediately adjacent to an implanted medical device. Note also that any medical-device disruption will cease
when the RF transmitting source is turned off. Please contact your physician or medical-device provider if you have any questions, or
experience any problems with the use of this or any other RF equipment.
