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 these equipments do cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipments 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.

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
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 to
low level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health
effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such
findings have not been confirmed by additional research. PC-MM20 has been tested
and found to comply with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines
on radio frequency energy (RF) exposure. The maximum SAR levels tested for the PC-
MM20 has been shown to be W/kg at Body.

ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the
RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may
be connected to the line, as determined by the total RENs contact the telephone
company to determine the maximum REN for the calling areas.
If the terminal equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone
company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be
required. But if advance notice isn't practical, the telephone company will notify the
customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a
