Appendix A Product Information
Watch for Signs
There are some places where RF signals could constitute a hazard, such as health care
facilities, and construction sites. If you are not sure, look around for signs indicating that two-
way radios or cell phones should be turned off.
In addition, turn off and do not charge your device if you are in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere, as sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire. Such areas
are usually, but not always, clearly identified, and include areas where you would normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
FCC Compliance Statement
The Devices comply with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) The Devices may not cause harmful interference; and (2) the Devices must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
The Devices have 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. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
The Devices meet the FCC Radio Frequency Emission Guidelines and are certified with the
FCC as the FCC ID number found on the back of the Device.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Information Regarding Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
Your Device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure
to RF energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the United States (FCC).
Information on your Device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant
section of http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/ea/ after searching on the FCC ID for your Device,
which can be found on the back of the Device.
