Informacion acerca de Ia eliminacion de equipos eh!ctricos yelectronicos
al final de Ia vida util (aplicable a los paises que hayan adoptado sistemas
independientes de recogida de residuos)

CAUTION
This equipment complies with FCC/I( radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in
Supplement Cto 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 atype 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.

ATTENTION
Cet equipement est conforme aux limites d'exposition aux rayonnements enoncees
pour un environnement non contr61e et respecte les regles d' exposition aux frequences
radioelectriques (RF) CNR-102 de I'IC. Cet equipement emet une energie RF tres faible qui
est consideree conforme sans evaluation de !'exposition maxi male autorisee. Cependant,
cet equipement doit etre installe et utilise en gardant une distance de 20 em ou plus entre
le dispositif rayonnant et le corps (a I'exception des extremites: mains, poignets, pieds
et chevilles). Conformement a Ia reg Iem entation d'lndustrie Canada, le present emetteur
radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inferieur)
approuve pour l'emetteur par lndustrie Canada. Dans le but de reduire les risques de
brouillage radioelectrique a!'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type
d'antenne et son gain de sorte que Ia puissance isotrope rayon nee equivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne
depasse pas l'intensite necessaire al'etablissement d'une communication satisfaisante.
