Technology to extrapolate and supplement with proprietary
algorithm, the high-frequency range that is cut off when
encoding at low bit rate (less than 128Kbps, Sampling
frequency is 44.1kHz).
Supplementing is optimized by a compression format (AAC,

technical specification were met.
2CAUTION
This equipment complies with FCC/IC radiation exposure
limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and
meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines
in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio
frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment has very
low levels of RF energy that it deemed to comply without
maximum permissive exposure evaluation (MPE). But it is
desirable that it should be installed and operated keeping
the radiator at least 20cm or more away from person’s body
(excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and ankles).
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.
