Do not place this product close to medical devices
This product (including accessories) has a magnet(s) that may interfere with pacemakers, programmable shunt valves for hydrocephalus treatment, or other medical devices.  Do not place this product close to persons who use such medical devices. Consult your doctor before using this product if you use any such medical device.

This device complies with part 15 of FCC Rules and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada’s license-exempt RSS(s). 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.

(SRS-NS7R)
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low-power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low-power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by added National research. SRS-NS7R has been tested and found to comply with FCC/ISED radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines and RSS-102 of the ISED radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.
This device has been subjected to specific absorption rate (SAR) testing at a separation distance of 5 mm. These testing conditions take due account a safe distance from the human body, with the exception of the extremities. In addition, handheld use also does not exceed the prescribed limits for human exposure to radio frequency energy.

(WLA-NS7)
This equipment complies with FCC/ISED radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines and RSS-102 of the ISED radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment should be stalled and operated keeping the radiator at least 20cm (7/a in) or more away from the person’s body.

Caution on charging
In serting the USB plug while it is wet may cause a short circuit due to foreign matter or liquid (tap water, salt water, soft drinks, etc.) getting on the main unit or the USB cable. This may cause malfunctions or abnormal overheating.
Never insert the USB plug while the main unit or the USB cable is wet.

For customers in the USA
You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this manual could void your authority to operate this 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. 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:

• 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/lV technician for help.

This equipment must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
