1.1.1 FCC and Other Information

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.

Some wireless Cameras operate at frequencies that may cause interference to

nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the

wireless Camera should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR. If

interference is experienced, move the wireless Camera further away from the TV

or VCR. This will often reduce or eliminate interference. Operating near 2.4 GHz

electrical appliances may cause interference. Move away from the electrical

appliances.

greater than +40 °C (+104 °F). Allow 10 cm (4 inches) clearance around the unit
