equilateral Do not open.
triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of un-insulated
“dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.
INSTRUCTIONS: The exclamation point within the equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying this
appliance.
CAUTION (for U.S.A. & CANADIAN models only): TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK DO
NOT USE THIS
(POLARIZED) PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION CORD, RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE
BLADES CAN
BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.
NOTICE CONCERNING LASER PRODUCTS: DANGER: INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION WHEN OPEN
AND
INTERLOCK FAILED OR DEFEATED. AVOID DIRECT EXPOSURE TO BEAM. USE OF CONTROLS
OR ADJUSTMENTS
OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.
NOTICE CONCERNING FCC REGULATIONS: You are cautioned that changes or
modifications not expressly approved by the part responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 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: (a) reorient or relocate the receiving antenna; (b) move
this unit; (c) increase the separation between the equipment and receiver; (d)
connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected; (e) be sure that all cables are properly shielded,
using a choke or ferrite where appropriate; or (f) consult the dealer or an
experienced radio/television technician for help. This equipment (if
applicable) should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm
between the radiator and your body.
RF Warning Statement (if applicable): The device has been evaluated to meet
general RF exposure requirement. The device can be used in portable exposure
condition without restriction. Avoid using this device in a high RFradiated
environment.
For Canadian models: This device contains licence-exempt
transmitter(s)/receiver(s) that comply with Innovation, Science and Economic
Development (ISED) Canada’s licence-exempt RSS(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 ISED regulations, this radio
transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or
lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by ISED. 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. This radio transmitter (identify
the device by certification number, or model number if Category II) has been
approved by ISED to operate with the antenna types listed below with the
maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type
indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than
the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with
this device. This unit does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise
emission from digital apparatus set out in the radio interference regulations
of the Canadian Department of Communications. This device operates on a no-
protection, nointerference basis. Should the user seek to obtain protection
from other radio services operating in the same TV bands, a radio licence is
required. For further details, consult Innovation, Science and Economic
Development Canada’s document Client Procedures Circular CPC-2-1-28,Voluntary
Licensing of icence-Exempt Low-Power Radio Apparatus in the
TV Bands.
Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with ISED radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment (if
applicable) should be installed and operated with greater than 20 cm between
the radiator & your body.
For wireless products supporting the 5.15–5.35 GHz frequency band (if
applicable): Usage of the 5.15– 5.35 GHz band are restricted to indoor
operation only. This applies to the following countries: AT, BE, BG, CZ, DK,
EE, FR, DE, IS, IE, IT, EL, ES, CY, LV, LI, LT, LU, HU, MT, NL, NO, PL, PT,
RO, SI, SK, TR, FI, SE, CH, UK, HR. For 240-volt use in U.K., use NEMA ®
-style 240-volt plug. For other countries use proper plug for local outlet.
ESD/EFT Warning: This unit may contain a microcomputer for signal processing
and control functions. In very rare situations, severe interference, noise
from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to lock up. In the
unlikely event that this should happen, turn off the unit, wait at least five
seconds, and then turn it back on again. The pins of connectors identified
with this ESD warning symbol should not be touched.
Correct Disposal of This Product: This marking indicates that this product
should not be disposed with other household wastes throughout the EU. To
prevent possible harm to the environment or human health from uncontrolled
waste disposal, recycle it responsibly to promote the sustainable reuse of
material resources. To return your used device, please use the return and
collection systems or contact the retailer where the product was purchased.
They can take this product for environmentally safe recycling.
If apparatus contains a coin/button-cell battery: Warning: Do not ingest the
battery—chemical burn hazard. The remote control supplied with this product
contains a coin/button-cell battery. If the coin/button-cell battery is
swallowed, it can cause severe internal burns in just 2 hours and can lead to
death. Keep new and used batteries away from children. Tell others about the
risk associated with button batteries and how to keep their children safe. If
the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the product and
keep it away from children. If you think batteries might have been swallowed
or placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention.
Dispose of used button batteries immediately and safely. Flat batteries can
still be dangerous.
Disposal of Batteries (if applicable): Never dispose of any types of batteries in fire or near excessive heat or direct sunlight. Overheated batteries can rupture or explode. If you are unsure of how or where to dispose of a battery, refer to your local ordinances for the proper location, method, etc.
-
Alkaline batteries & lithium button cell batteries: You can safely dispose of alkaline and lithium button cell batteries with normal household waste. They do not pose a health or environmental risk during normal use or disposal. (Alkaline batteries are composed primarily of common metals like steel, zinc, and manganese.)
Do not dispose of large amounts of alkaline or lithium button cell batteries in a group. Used batteries are often not completely “dead.” Grouping them together can bring these “live” batteries into contact with one another, creating safety risks. To avoid this, insulate each battery with tape or other non-conductive material to ensure it does not discharge. Proven cost-effective and environmentally safe recycling processes are not yet universally available for alkaline and lithium button cell batteries. Some communities offer recycling or collection of these batteries. For more information, refer to your local ordinances or contact your local government. -
Lead-acid batteries: Dispose of lead-acid batteries by bringing them to an electronic waste center or recycling center, or dispose of them in accordance with your local ordinances. (Rechargeable lead-acid batteries are the same type used in automobiles and should be disposed of in a similar fashion.)
