Battery Pack Warnings P/N: 1027700-01 5-2

Regulatory
The following sections provide information on this product’s compliance with government regulations
for use.

FCC Compliance
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled equipment and
meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65. 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 with at least 20cm and more
between the radiator and person’s body (excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and ankles).

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device pursuant
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
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his own expense.

If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television equipment 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.

• Move the equipment away from the receiver.
• Plug the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is powered.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions.

Any changes or modifications to the equipment not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void your authority to operate such equipment.
