FCC regulatory information
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subjected 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.

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.
Warning: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.HANHAI - logo
