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 Licence-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.

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 the product or remote control contains a coin/button-cell battery:
Warning: Do not ingest the battery—chemical burn hazard. If a 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 a 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.)
