Though the output level of this wireless system is below 50 milliwatts, the proximity of the transmitter to the implant device could pose a threat.As with any wireless product, environmental conditions can reduce or in some cases prohibit a successful connection between the transmitter and the receiver.  This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Most users of  CAD Audio wireless products in the United States do not need a license for operation.  However, the rules for unlicensed operation state that this device must not operate in excess of 50 milliwatts and it must not cause harmful interference to other wireless devices, and must accept interference received from other devices.  Wireless products meeting CAD factory standards adhere to these rules.  The FCC reserves the right to change these rules at any time.  For more information contact the FCC at 1-888-CALL-FCC (TTY: 1-888-TELL-FCC) or visit the FCC’s wireless microphone website at:www.fcc.gov/cgb/wirelessmicrophones 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.Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l’intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l’intensité nécessaire à l’établissement d’une communication satisfaisante.Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.Two-Year  Limited WarrantyCAD Audio hereby warrants that this product will be free of defects in material and workmanship for a period of two years from the date of purchase. In the unlikely event that a defect occurs CAD Audio will, at its option, either repair or replace with a new unit of equal or greater value. Retain proof of purchase to validate the purchase date and return it with any warranty claim.This warranty excludes exterior nish or appearance, damage from abuse, misuse of the product, use contrary to CAD Audio’s instructions or unauthorized repair. All implied warranties, merchantability, or tness for a particular purpose is hereby disclaimed and CAD Audio hereby disclaims liability for incidental, special or consequential damages  resulting from the use or unavailability of this product.This warranty gives you specic legal rights and you may have other rights that vary from state to state.

2StageSelectTM IEM IntroductionEnjoy the exciting performance of the StageSelect™ IEM for your next gig. CAD Audio has been creating high-value product since 1931 and prides itself on supporting and developing the live performer. Our design criterion was straightforward: develop a high-performance wireless In-ear Monitor System that will deliver superior audio performance while supplying advanced frequency agility, capable enough to cope with today’s dynamic RF environment – make it both easy to use and exciting to operate.The StageSelect™ IEM Stereo Wireless In-ear Monitor System features 16 channel frequency agile performance for outstanding connectivity. Stereo operation lends exibility of use – You may send discrete signals to the left or right channel. High-performance MEB2 Monitor Earbuds are included to make your listening experience top ight. The MEB2 TruPitch™ Balanced-armature Earbuds provide accurate audio reproduction while the EasyFit™ silicon earmolds provide a custom t. The metal construction rack mountable transmitter is supplied with rack ears, half-wave antenna, antenna-relocation kit and sturdy carry case.The StageSelectTM IEM Stereo Wireless In-ear Monitor System includes the following features:  •  16 Channel UHF Agility for frequency plan exibility  •  Stereo Operation for discrete Right/Left transmission via     combination XLR-1/4" connectors  •  MEB2 TruPitch™ Balanced-armature Earbuds provide accurate      audio reproduction while the EasyFit™ Silicon molds provide      a custom t  •  AA batteries with >10hrs of battery life  •  Metal Chassis Transmitter for a durable and formidable      shielded enclosure  •  Transmitters have SofttouchTM Switches with multicolor      LED indicators of On/Mute and Low Battery  •  1/4" and XLR-type outputs for interfacing exibility  •  Includes carry case, rack ears and antenna-relocation kit 7WARNING!USE AS LOW A VOLUME AS POSSIBLE. PERMANENT HEARING DAMAGE CAN RESULT FROM USING THIS SYSTEM AT  EXCESSIVE VOLUMES.For safe operation of this in-ear monitor system, do not listen at  excessive sound pressure levels.Most national safety and health administrations have established  guidelines for maximum time being exposed to sound pressure levels before hearing damage occurs.  85 dB(A) SPL at 8 hours  88 dB(A) SPL at 4 hours  91 dB(A) SPL at 2 hours  94 dB(A) SPL at 1 hour  97 dB(A) SPL at 30 minutes  100 dB(A) SPL at 15 minutes  120 dB(A) SPL — avoid or hearing damage may occurIn live settings it is difcult to make exact measurements of Sound Pressure Levels (SPL) present at the eardrum, which is affected not only by the In-ear Monitor volume, but by ambient sound on the stage and other factors.To protect your ears from hearing damage:  •  Use the in-ear monitor system at the lowest volume possible;      turn up the volume only enough to hear.  •  Be aware that ringing in your ears may indicate that the volume      is set too high.  •  Have your ears examined regularly by an audiologist.  •  If wax builds up in your ears, stop using the in-ear monitor system     until you have seen an audiologist.  •  To avoid infections, use an antiseptic to wipe the earphones      before and after using the system.  •  Stop using the earphones if you experience ear discomfort      or infection.
