Caution! Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation.
The radiated output of this device is far below the FCC radio frequency
exposure limits. Nevertheless, the device shall be used in such a man-
ner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is mini-
mized. When connecting an external antenna to the device, the antenna
shall be placed in such a manner to minimize the potential for human
contact during normal operation. In order to avoid the possibility of
exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to
the antenna shall not be less than 20cm (8inches) during normal opera-
tion.
Radiation Exposure Statement:
The product comply with the FCC portable RF exposure limit set forth for
an uncontrolled environment and are safe for intended operation as
described in this manual. The further RF exposure reduction can be achieved
if the product can be kept as far as possible from the user body or set the
device to lower output power if such function is available.

Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect yourself and PWS-770.
Do not attempt to service the PWS-770 yourself. Always follow installation
instructions closely.
Be sure that nothing rests on the AC adapter's power cable and that the cable is
not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.
Do not cover the AC adaptor with papers or other items that will reduce cooling;
also, do not use the AC adapter while it is inside a carrying case.
Use only the AC adapter, power cord, and batteries that are approved for use
with this PWS-770. Use of another type of battery or AC adapter may cause risk
of fire or explosion.
If you use an extension cable with the AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere
rating of the products plugged in to the extension cable does not exceed the
ampere rating of the extension cable.
When you move the PWS-770 between environments with very different tem-
perature and/ore humidity ranges, condensation may form on or within the
PWS-770. To avoid damaging the PWS-770, allow sufficient time for the mois-
ture to evaporate before using the PWS-770.
When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain relief loop,
not on the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it evenly aligned to
avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable make sure
both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.

Battery Safety
RTC Battery Caution
RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE.
DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.
Do not place the battery incorrectly as this may cause danger of explosion.
Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local author-
ities for disposal instructions.
Battery Pack Caution
The battery used in this device may present a risk of fire or chemical burn if mis-
treated. Do not disassemble, heat above 50°C, or incinerate. Replace internal
battery with 46-12381-030 Li-ion 11.1V 1900mAh and second battery with Li-ion
11.1V 5000mAh Cell SANYO only. Use of another battery may present a risk of
fire or explosion.
Dispose of used batteries according to local disposal regulations. Keep away
from children. Do not disassemble and do not dispose of in a fire.
Battery Charge Notice
It is important to consider the environment temperature whenever you are charging
the Lithium-Ion battery pack. The process is more efficient at normal room tempera-
ture or slightly cooler. It is essential that you charge batteries within the stated range
of 0°C to 40°C. Charging batteries outside of the specified range could damage the
batteries and shorten their charging life cycle.
Storage and Safety Notice
Although charged Lithium-Ion batteries may be left unused for several months, their
capacity may be depleted due to the build up of internal resistance. If this happens
they will require recharging prior to use. Lithium-Ion batteries may be stored at tem-
peratures between -20°C to 60°C, however they may be depleted more rapidly at the
high end of this range. It is recommended to store batteries within normal room tem-
perature ranges.
