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 party 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.
FCC STATEMENT
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 should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between the radiator and your body.
For Canadian models:
This device contains license-exempt transmitter(s)/receiver(s) that comply
with Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED) Canada’s license-
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, no-interference basis. Should the user seek to obtain protection from other radio services operating in the same TV bands, a radio license 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 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): The usage of the 5.15–5.35 GHz band is 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 the U.K., use NEMA®-style 240-volt plug. For other countries use the proper plug for a 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. 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 risks 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.)
