Second ??? Take a good look around, paying close attention to power outlet and other electronic equipment locations. Ideally, the speaker should be placed at a 5-foot distance from other elec- tronic equipment, such as computers or radios.

Third ??? Determine whether to mount the speaker on the wall as shown in diagram 1, or place it on a sturdy surface using the T-bar table

about your batteries

To ensure that your batteries are as fresh as possible upon arrival, we have intentionally not installed them in your equipment.

install your batteries in your equipment now, then charge overnight before initial use

(see user guide for charging procedure).

avoid battery corrosion

To avoid battery corrosion and damage to your equipment, do not recharge disposable or rechargeable alkaline batteries. Before charg- ing any Phonic Ear equipment make sure only NiMH rechargeable batteries are installed. As an added precaution, remove batteries if the equipment will not be used for several weeks.

transmitter

This transmitter is authorized by rule under the Low Power Radio Service (47 C.F.R. Part 95) and must not cause harmful interference to TV reception or United States Navy SPASUR installations. You do not need an FCC license to operate this transmitter. This transmitter may only be used to provide: audi- tory assistance to persons with disabilities, persons who require language translation, or persons in edu- cational settings; health care services to the ill; law enforcement tracking services under agreement with a law enforcement agency; or automated maritime telecommunications system (AMTS) network control communications. Two-way voice communications and all other types of uses not mentioned above are expressly prohibited.

This device may not interfere with TV reception or federal government radar, and must accept any inter- ference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, only use sup- plied antenna that is sold with this transmitter.

Use of any other antenna which has not been approved by the manufacturer will violate FCC rules and regulation and void the user???s authority to operate this device. This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

receiver: part 15, subpart B

Tested to comply with

FCC Standards

FOR HOME OR OFFICE USE

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 resi- dential 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 guar- antee that interference will not occur in a particu- lar installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television recep- tion, 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.

FCC notes

The Radium sound field system is approved by the FCC (Federal Communications Commission). The use of the system may be governed by specific FCC rules and FCC licensing or notifications may be required. Consult your local FCC office for detailed information.

Phonic Ear FM receivers and FM transmitters, when required, are approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the U.S. and Industry Canada. Other government approvals are available upon request. (Other inter- national regulations may also apply.)

Any changes or modifications made to any gov- ernment-approved element of this instrument, without the express approval of Phonic Ear Inc in writing, could void the user's authority to operate those elements of the system.

Part 95

This transmitter is authorized by rule under the Low Power Radio Service (47 CFR Part 95) and must not cause harmful interference to TV recep- tion or United States Navy SPASUR installa- tions. You do not need an FCC license to oper- ate this transmitter. This transmitter may only be used to provide auditory assistance to persons with disabilities, persons who require language translation, or persons in educational settings; health care services to the ill; law enforcement tracking service under agreement with a law enforcement agency; or automated maritime telecommunication system (AMTS) network control communications. Two-way voice commu- nications and all other types of uses not men- tioned above are expressly prohibited.

This device may not cause interference and must accept any interference received, including inter- ference that may cause undesired operation.

These devices may not interfere with TV recep- tion or Federal Government radar.

IC notes

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

Cet appareil num??rique de la classe B est conforme ?? la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

The term "IC:" before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry of Canada technical specifications were met.

If TV channel 13 is used in the area, the installer shall reduce or adjust the RF radiated power so that near-by TV channel 13 receivers do not receive radio interference from the system installed. Suggestions: A test with a TV receiver equipped with "rabbit-ear antenna" and tuned to channel 13 should be conducted, at the perimeter of the users' intended coverage area and not over-lapping other user's areas without the latter's consent. If this does not solve the problem, a channel near the 217 MHz edge and not near 216 MHz should be tried.

This product has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug

Administration for use by persons with normal hearing and hearing impairment.
