FCC
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
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.
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 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.
Industry Canada
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna
type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically
radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that permitted for successful
communication.
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference, including interference that
may cause undesired operation of the device.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003
du Canada.
Pour réduire le risque d’interférence aux autres utilisateurs, le type
d’antenne et son gain doivent être choisies de façon que la puissance
isotrope rayonnée équivalente (PIRE) ne dépasse pas ce qui est nécessaire
pour une communication réussie.
Cet appareil est conforme à la norme RSS Industrie Canada exempts de
licence norme(s). Son fonctionnement est soumis aux deux conditions
suivantes:
1. cet appareil ne peut pas provoquer d’interférences et
2. cet appareil doit accepter toute interférence, y compris les
interférences qui peuvent causer un mauvais fonctionnement du
dispositif.

RF Exposure Warning
The transceiver described here emits radio frequency energy. Although the
power level is low, the concentrated energy from a directional antenna may
pose a health hazard. Do not allow people to come closer than 20 cm to the
antenna when the transmitter is operating.
Additional information on RF exposure is available on the Internet at
http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/oet-bulletins-line
L’émetteur-récepteur décrit ici émet de l’énergie de fréquence radio.
Bien que le niveau de puissance est faible, l’énergie concentrée à partir
d’une antenne directionnelle peut présenter un danger pour la santé. Ne
pas permettre aux gens de se rapprocher de 20 cm à l’antenne lorsque
l’émetteur est en marche.
Des renseignements supplémentaires sur l’exposition aux RF est disponible
sur Internet à http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/oet-bulletins-line
