AS POSSIBLE

For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply with

FCC Rules and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Regulations as Part 15 devices. As such, they have limited transmitter power and therefore

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

limited range.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal at a time and may be blocked by

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

radio signals that occur on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of code settings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Changes or modifications to the device may void FCC compliance.

RECEIVER

A general knowledge of radio and its vagaries should be gained prior to acting as a wholesale

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

distributor or dealer, and these facts should be communicated to the ultimate users.
