Individuals with cardiac pacemakers and other similar medical devices
should consult with their physician before using any RF devices. Though
the output level of this wireless system is below 50 milliwatts, the proximity
of the transmitter to the implant device could pose a threat.
As with any wireless product, environmental conditions can reduce or in
some cases prohibit a successful connection between the transmitter and
the receiver.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Most users of CAD Audio
wireless products in the United States do not need a license for operation.
However, the rules for unlicensed operation state that this device must not
operate in excess of 50 milliwatts and it must not cause harmful interference
to other wireless devices, and must accept interference received from other
devices. Wireless products meeting CAD factory standards adhere to these
rules. The FCC reserves the right to change these rules at any time. For more
information contact the FCC at 1-888-CALL-FCC (TTY: 1-888-TELL-FCC) or visit
