FCC statement
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.
FCC Caution
Changes or modifications 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 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.


This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. End users must follow the specific operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure
compliance. This transmitter must not be co—located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that are deemed to comply without testing of specific
absorption ratio (SAR).
