7. Power Sources - The product should be connected to a
power supply only of the type described in the operating
instructions or as marked on the equipment.
8. Grounding or Polarization - Precaution should be taken
so that the grounding or polarization means of the product
is not defeated.

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 of 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 diff erent from that to which the receiver is connected,
or consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS
standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.
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.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-
003 du Canada.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada
applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est
autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas
produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter
tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est
susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent
émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un
gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie
Canada.
Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à
l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et
son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente
(p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une
communication satisfaisante.

BTA-1
Inline Bluetooth® Local Source Module
for A-BUS® Systems
Installation Manual
Overview
The BTA-1 Bluetooth Module is an A-BUS compatible Local
Source Module that enables the use of a portable media
player, smartphone, or other Bluetooth equipped device to
wirelessly transmit audio content to an A-BUS keypad. Like
all A-BUS Local Source Modules, the BTA-1 will interrupt
any audio signal that precedes it automatically when in
use. It easily integrates with existing systems and does not
require dedicated wiring. It is installed anywhere inline of the
CAT-5 cable between the A-BUS keypad and hub or controller.
There are no other connections or power supplies required.
It can even be programmed with a custom name for easy
identifi cation using a supplied USB cable and a free software
download from Russound.
