WARNING

You are cautioned that any changes or modi cations not expressly approved

in this manual could void your authority to operate this equipment.

 is 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.  ese limits

are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference

in a residential installation.  is 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 o

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 di erent from that to

which the receiver is connected.

– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help

 e available scienti c evidence does not show that any health problems are

associated with using low power wireless devices.  ere is no proof, however,

that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless

devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave

range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health e ects

(by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating

e ects causes no known adverse health e ects. Many studies of low level RF

exposures have not found any biological e ects. Some studies have suggested

that some biological e ects might occur, but such  ndings have not been

con rmed by additional research.
