DVQX1774 (ENG)

THE FOLLOWING APPLIES ONLY IN THE U.S.A.

FCC Note:

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.

Certification and Compliance

Please select as follows:

→ [Setup] → [Approved Regulations]

CAN ICES-3(B)/NMB-3(B)

Contains IC : 772C-LB1JS955

This device contains licence-exempt transmitter(s)/receiver(s) that comply with

Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada’s licence-exempt RSS(s).

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause interference.

(2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause

undesired operation of the device.

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are

associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that

these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit

low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used.

Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure

of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse

health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological

effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but

such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. DC-FZ1000M2 (HMN is

1JS1903) has been tested and found to comply with ISED radiation exposure limits set

forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets RSS-102 of the ISED radio frequency

(RF) Exposure rules.
