FCC
This device complies with the requirements in part 15 of the
FCC rules: Operation is subject to the following two condi-
tions:
1.This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received, includ-
ing interference that may cause undesired operation
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment
is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruc-
tion manual, may cause harmful interference to radio commu-
nications. Operation of this device in a residential area is
likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will
be required to correct the interference at his/her own
expense. The user is advised that any equipment changes or
modifications not expressly approved by the party responsi-
ble for compliance would void the compliance to FCC regula-
tions and therefore, the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
Caution! There is a danger of a new battery exploding if it is incorrectly
installed. Do not attempt to recharge, force open, or heat the
battery. Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent
type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batter-
ies according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
