POWER CONSUMPTION:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class B digital devices, 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:
CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by NAD Electronics for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules / Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). 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.
This equipment complies with IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
To prevent electric shock, match the wide blade of the plug to the wide slot and insert fully.
The marking and rating plate can be found at the rear panel of the apparatus.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing, and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
The mains plug is used as the disconnect device and should remain readily operable during intended use. To disconnect the apparatus from the mains completely, the mains plug should be disconnected from the mains socket outlet completely.
Battery shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire, or the like.
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
Battery cannot be subjected to high or low extreme temperatures, low air pressure at high altitude during use, storage, or transportation.
Replacement of a battery with an incorrect type can result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
Disposal of a battery into fire or a hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting of a battery, can result in an explosion.
Leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature surrounding environment can result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
A battery subjected to extremely low air pressure may result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
An appliance with a protective earth terminal should be connected to a mains outlet with a protective earth connection.
The device for operation in the band 5150–5250 MHz is for indoor use only to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.
MPE REMINDER: This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. To satisfy FCC/IC RF exposure requirements, a separation distance of 20 cm or more should be maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during device operation. To ensure compliance, operations at closer than this distance are not recommended.
IF IN DOUBT CONSULT A COMPETENT ELECTRICIAN.
RESPONSIBLE PARTY: Lenbrook International, 633 Granite Court, Pickering, ON L1W 3K1, Canada. Tel: 1 905 8316555.
This product is manufactured to comply with the radio interference requirements of EEC DIRECTIVE 2004/108/EC.
NOTES ON ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION: At the end of its useful life, this product must not be disposed of with regular household waste but must be returned to a collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. The symbol on the product, user's manual, and packaging points this out. The materials can be reused in accordance with their markings. Through re-use, recycling of raw materials, or other forms of recycling of old products, you are making an important contribution to the protection of our environment. Your local administrative office can advise you of the responsible waste disposal point.
INFORMATION ABOUT COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL OF WASTE BATTERIES (DIRECTIVE 2006/66/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF EUROPEAN UNION) (FOR EUROPEAN CUSTOMERS ONLY): Batteries bearing symbols like Hg, Pb, Cd indicate they should be treated as "separate collection" and not as municipal waste. Implement measures to maximize separate collection of waste batteries and minimize disposal as mixed municipal waste. End-users are exhorted not to dispose waste batteries as unsorted municipal waste. Discard waste batteries separately and properly through an accessible collection point. Contact your local municipality, waste disposal service, or point of sale for more information. Proper disposal prevents hazardous effects on human health and minimizes the negative impact of batteries on the environment.
