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. 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; ()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; ) consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/television

FCC STATEMENT
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject 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. Radiation Exposure
Statement: This equipment complies with radiation exposure limits set forth
for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and
operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between the radiator and your body.
f 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.
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.
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 conta 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
