1. FCC Information
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Mueller Systems could void
the user's authority to operate the equipment.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements,
the antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation
distance of at least 42 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
“NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
-- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
-- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
