This device complies with the requirements in part 15 of the FCC rules: Operation is subject to the fol-
lowing two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undes-
ired operation
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pur-
suant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of
this device in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his/her own expense. The user is advised that any equipment
changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance would void
the compliance to FCC regulations and therefore, the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Caution!
Achtung!
There is a danger of a new battery exploding if it is incorrectly installed. Do not attempt to recharge,
force open, or heat the battery. Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type recom-
mended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
