To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.This equipment complies with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines 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 20 cm or more away from person’s body.CAUTIONThe use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard.For the State of California, USA onlyPerchlorate Material – special handling may apply, Seewww.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorateNote on the lithium batteryDo not expose the battery to excessive heat such as direct sunlight, fire or the like.For safety, be sure to install this unit in the dashboard of the car as the left side of the unit becomes hot during use.For details, see “Connection/Installation” (page 31).FOR THE CUSTOMERS IN THE USA.
