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 to help. Any Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate the equipment. ISED RSS Warning:
This device complies with Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada license-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. Le prsent appareil est conforme aux CNR dISED applicables aux appareils radio exemps de licence. Lexploitation est autorise aux deux conditions suivantes:
(1) lappareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2) lutilisateur de lappareil doit accepter tout brouillage radiolectrique subi, mme si le brouillage est susceptible den compromettre le fonctionnement. To satisfy FCC / IC RF exposure requirements, a separation distance of 20 cm or more should be maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during device operation. To ensure compliance, operations at closer than this distance is not recommended. Les antennes installes doivent tre situes de facon ce que la population ne puisse y tre expose une distance de moin de 20 cm. Installer les antennes de facon ce que le personnel ne puisse approcher 20 cm ou moins de la position centrale de l antenne. La FCC des ltats-unis stipule que cet appareil doit tre en tout temps loign dau moins 20 cm des personnes pendant son functionnement.
