IMPORTANT FCC NOTICE  
Radio controls provide a reliable communications link and fill an important need  
in portable wireless signaling. However, there are some limitations which must be  
observed.  
• For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply with FCC Rules  
and Regulations as Part 15 and FRS Part 95 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.  
• Infrequently used radio links should be tested regularly to protect against  
undetected interference or fault.  
• 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.  
• This device complies with FCC Part 15 and FRS Part 95 Rules and Regulations.  
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not  
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference  
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.  
• This device and its antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction  
with any other antenna or transmitter
