exposure requirement. The device can be used in portable exposure condition
without restriction. Avoid using this device in a high RF-radiated
environment.
For Canadian models:
This device contains licence-exempt transmitters)/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 isotropic ally 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

| If the product or remote control contains a coin/button-cell battery:
Warning: Do not ingest the battery—chemical bum hazard. If a coin/button-cell
battery is swallowed, it can cause severe internal bums 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.)
