FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
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, in-
cluding interference that may cause undesired operation.
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. This equipment gener-
ates, uses and can radiated radio frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the instruc-
tions, may cause harmful interference to radio commu-
nications. However, there is no guarantee that interfer-
ence will not occur in a particular installation If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turn-
ing the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the fol-
lowing measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dif-
ferent from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV techni-
cian for help.
Shielded interface cables must be used in order to com-
ply with emission limits.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
WIRELESS NOTE
Wireless receiver must keep a distance at least 40cm
from the meter and meter to meter distance
must be at least 30cm.
