To reduce the risk of fire, burns or bursting, do not open, crash, short, heat 60°C
(140°F) or above, or incinerate.
This device complies 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.
You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved in
this manual could void your authority to operate this equipment.

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.
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are
associated with using low power wireless devices.
There 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 effects (by heating tissue),
exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known
adverse health effects.
Many studies of low level RF exposures have not found any biological effects.
Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such
findings have not been confirmed by additional research.
The model has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation exposure
limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio
frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines.
Notes on water resistant and dust proof
features (Read before using NYSNO-10)
Water resistant and dust proof performance
The main unit and the remote control have a water resistant specification of
IPX5*1 as specified in “Degree of protection against water immersion” of the
IEC60529 “Ingress Protection Rating (IP Code)”, and a dust proof specification of
IP6X*2 as specified in “Degrees of protection against solid foreign objects.”
Liquids that the water resistant performance specifications apply to
Applicable: fresh water, tap water, perspiration
Not applicable: liquids other than the above (soapy water, water with
detergent or bath agents, shampoo, hot spring water, pool
water, sea water, etc.)
*1 IPX5 equivalency: The main unit, with the micro-USB port cover closed, has been
tested under and maintains its operability under the following test conditions: When
exposed to direct streams of water from any direction where approximately 12.5 L/
min. of water is supplied for more than 3 minutes from a distance of approximately 3
m (9 ft 10 5/8 in) using a nozzle with an inner diameter of 6.3 mm (1/4 in).
*2 IP6X equivalency: The main unit, with the micro-USB port cover closed, has been
tested to and continues to block dust after stirring for 8 hours in a testing device
which contains dust particles that are up to 75 μm in diameter.
The water resistant and dust proof performance of NYSNO-10 is based on our
measurements under the conditions herein described. Note that malfunctions
as a result of water immersion or dust intrusion caused by misuse by the
customer are not covered by the warranty.
To avoid deterioration of water resistant and dust proof performance
• Check the following and use NYSNO-10 correctly.
Do not use and leave NYSNO-10 in a location where temperature is very high
(approx. 41 °C (105.8 °F) or above) and low (approx. -11 °C (12.2 °F) or below). Use
or leave of NYSNO-10 in a location where is out of the range above, the
operation may stop automatically to protect internal circuit.
• NYSNO-10 passes the drop test from 1.2 m (3 ft 11 1/4 in) on plywood of 5 cm (2
in) thickness conforming to MIL-STD 810 F Method 516.5-Shock. However, this
does not guarantee no damage, no breakdown, or water resistant and dust
proof performance in all conditions. Deformation or damage from dropping
NYSNO-10 or subjecting it to mechanical shock may cause deterioration of the
water resistant and dust proof performance.
• Do not use NYSNO-10 in a location where water or hot water may splash on it
heavily. NYSNO-10 does not have a design that is resistant to water pressure.
Use it in a location where high water pressure is applied, such as under running
water or in the shower, may cause a malfunction.
• Do not pour high-temperature water or blow hot air from a hair dryer or any
other appliance on NYSNO-10 directly. Also, never use it in high temperature
locations such as in saunas or near a stove.
• To prevent foreign objects from attaching the main unit on the port part, make
sure that the micro-USB port cover is closed completely when not used.

Precautions
On BLUETOOTH® communications
• Bluetooth wireless technology
operates within a range of about 10
m (30 feet)1). Maximum
communication range may vary
depending on obstacles (human
body, metal, wall, etc.) or
electromagnetic environment.
1) Approx. 1 km (0.62 miles) for Group Talk.
• The antennas are built into the main
unit and the remote control as
illustrated in the dotted line. The
sensitivity of the Bluetooth
communications will improve by
turning the direction of the built-in
antenna of the main unit to the

the leakage of information during
Bluetooth communications.
• Connection with all Bluetooth
devices cannot be guaranteed.
– A device featuring Bluetooth
function is required to conform to
the Bluetooth standard specified by
Bluetooth SIG, Inc. and be
authenticated.
– Even if the connected device
conforms to the above mentioned
Bluetooth standard, some devices
may not be connected or work
correctly, depending on the
features or specifications of the
device.
– While talking on the phone hands
free, noise may occur, depending
on the device or communication
environment.
• Depending on the device to be
connected, it may require some time
to start communications.
