You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not 

expressly approved in this manual could void your 

authority to operate this equipment.
This equipment must not be co-located or operated in 

conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
This equipment complies with FCC/IC radiation 

exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled 

environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) 

Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and 

RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. 

This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that it 

deemed to comply without maximum permissive 

exposure evaluation (MPE). But it is desirable that it 

should be installed and operated keeping the radiator at 

least 20cm or more away from person’s body (excluding 

extremities: hands, wrists, feet and ankles).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) 

this device may not cause interference, and (2) this

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. 

Replace only with the same type.

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/TV technician 

for help.

Replace the battery for the remote commander with a 

Sony CR2025 lithium battery. Use of another battery 

may present a risk of fire or explosion.

Battery may explode if mistreated. Do not recharge, 

disassemble or dispose of in fire.

Dispose of used battery promptly. Keep away from
