COMPLIANCE

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC. 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.
FCC NOTE: The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized modifications to this equipment. Such modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: 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.
Theses 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:

  • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
  • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
  • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
  • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help

Important note: To comply with the FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, no change to the antenna or the device is permitted. Any change to the antenna or the device could result in the device exceeding the RF exposure requirements and void user ’s authority to operate the device.
This Class B digital apparatus complies with ICES-005 of Canada.

WARNINGS/SAFETY

⚠ WARNING


Risk of Fire or Electric Shock

  • Disconnect power at the circuit breaker(s) or disconnect switch(es) before installing or servicing.
  • Installation and/or wiring must be in accordance with national and local electrical code requirements.
  • Only use copper conductors rated 105°C minimum
  • Battery is not user replaceable.
  • Do NOT use timer to control devices that could have dangerous consequences due to inaccurate timing, such as sun lamps, saunas, heaters, and crock pots.
  • Class 2 connections shall be torqued to 4.5 lb-in.
