Never force a connector into a port. Check for obstructions on the port. If the connector and port don't join with reasonable ease, they probably don't match. Make sure that the connector matches the port and that you have positioned the connector correctly in relation to the port.

KEEPING THE WI-FI BACPAC AND WI-FI REMOTE WITHIN ACCEPTABLE TEMPERATURES

The Wi-Fi BacPac and Wi-Fi Remote are designed to be operated in temperatures between 0°C and 40°C and stored in temperatures between 0°C and 70°C. Extreme temperatures may temporarily affect battery life, or affect the functionality of the Wi-Fi BacPac and Wi-Fi Remote. Avoid dramatic changes in temperature or humidity when using the Wi-Fi BacPac and/or Wi-Fi Remote as condensation may form on or within the products. When you're using the Wi-Fi BacPac, Wi-Fi Remote or charging the battery, it is normal for the product to get warm. The exterior of the products functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the unit to the cooler air outside.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. 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 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.
• 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

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
