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 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 the 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 to 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

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

environment. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other 

antenna or transmitter. In accordance with FCC requirements of human exposure to radiofrequency 

fields, the radiating element (antenna) shall be installed such that a minimum separation distance of 

20cm (8in) is maintained from all persons.
