1.0 Safety



FOR SAFE BATTERY USE:

Keep the batteries out of children’s reach

Any battery may leak battery acid if mixed with a different battery type, if inserted incorrectly (put

in backwards) or if all batteries are not replaced or recharged at the same time. Do not mix old

and new batteries. Don not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), rechargeable (nickel-metal

hydride, nickel-cadmium), or Lithium (Thionyl Chloride) batteries.

Any battery may leak battery acid or explode if disposed of in fire or any attempt is made to

charge a battery not intended to be recharged. Never recharge a cell of one type in a recharger

mad for a cell of another type.

Discard leaky batteries immediately. Leaky batteries can cause skin burns or other personal

injury. When discarding batteries, be sure to dispose of them in the proper manner, according to

your state and local regulations.

Remove batteries before storing product for a prolonged period of time. Batteries let in the unit

may leak and cause damage.

Recommended type batteries – 3.6V lithium disposables, Thionyl Chloride (Li-SOCI2). NEVER

mix battery types. Change batteries when product ceases to operate satisfactorily.

DO NOT use the AC adapter if it has been exposed to liquids, has been dropped, or is

damaged.

Protect the power cord. Place it so it is not walked on or pinched by appliance or other items.

Warning: this product is not explosion proof and is not rated for intrinsically safe installations.

2.0 Introduction



MHz sensor operated in the 902 to 928 ISM band.

This device compiles 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.
