holds a valid radio license to cover its ownership and use.
•
This product emits low levels of radio frequency energy during operation. Avoid handling the
antenna once activated.

For future servicing by a service center, keep the original packaging for transportation.
•
False alarm: If the unit has been accidentally activated or you are no longer in danger prior to the

as possible.
