with the requirements for a Class B digital device under
Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) rules. These requirements are intended
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.
Changes or modifications to this equipment not
expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
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.
To ensure safety of users, the FCC has established
criteria for the amount of radio frequency energy
that can be safely absorbed by a user or bystander
according to the intended usage of the product. This
product has been tested and found to comply with the
FCC criteria. The baby unit shall be installed and used
such that parts of all persons’ body are maintained
at a distance of approximately 8 in (20 cm) or more.
The transmitter and antenna of the parent unit shall be
held at least 1 in (2.5 cm) from your face.
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian
requirement:
CAN ICES-3 (B)/NMB-3(B)
Industry Canada
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-
exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)

Assurez-vous que le moniteur et le cordon
de l’adaptateur sont toujours hors de portée
des enfants, à au moins 1 mètre (3 pieds) de
l’enfant ou du berceau, pour éviter tout risque de
strangulation.
Ne jamais placer le moniteur à l’intérieur du
berceau ou du parc de bébé. Ne jamais couvrir le
moniteur ou l’unité (s) portative avec un article tel
une serviette ou une couverture.
D’autres équipements électroniques peuvent
produire des interférences sur votre moniteur vidéo
et audio. Tentez d’installer votre moniteur vidéo
ou audio à l’écart des appareils électroniques
tels que des routeurs sans fil, radios, téléphones
cellulaires, interphones, moniteurs, téléphones,

Stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans
l’organisme
Les simulateurs cardiaques (ne s’applique qu’aux
dispositifs numériques sans fil):
L’organisme ‘Wireless Technology Research, LLC
(WTR)’, une firme de recherche indépendante,
a mené une évaluation pluridisciplinaire des
interférences entre les téléphones sans fil portatifs
et les stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans
l’organisme. Appuyée par l’Administration des
aliments et drogues (FDA) des États-Unis, la firme
WTR recommande aux médecins:
Avis aux détenteurs de stimulateurs cardiaques
Vous devriez maintenir les dispositifs sans fil à au
moins six pouces du simulateur cardiaque.
Ils ne doivent PAS placer le téléphone sans fil
directement sur le stimulateur cardiaque, tel que
dans une poche de chemise, lorsque celui-ci est
en marche.
L’étude effectuée par l’organisme WRS n’a pas
identifié de risque pour les détenteurs de simulateurs
cardiaques causés par les gens qui utilisent dispositifs
sans fil à proximité de ceux-ci.

recommends to physicians that:
Pacemaker patients
Should keep wireless devices at least six
inches from the pacemaker.
Should NOT place wireless devices directly
over the pacemaker, such as in a breast
pocket, when it is turned ON.
WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to
bystanders with pacemakers from other persons
using wireless devices.
