How to Display Certification and Compliance Information
Certification and compliance information for this camera can be viewed on the menu
1Select the [Others] tab of the [Setup] menu.
2Select [Approved Regulations] and confirm your selection.
Contains IC : 772C-LBEE5ZZ1PJ
This device contains licence-exempt transmitter(s)/receiver(s) that comply with Innovation,
Science and Economic Development Canada’s licence-exempt RSS(s). Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause interference.
(2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.
5150-5350 MHz band is restricted to indoor operations only.
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 of low-level RF that does not
produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of
low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have
suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been
confirmed by additional research. DC-S1M2ES (HMN is 1PJ2305) has been tested and
found to comply with ISED radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment and meets RSS-102 of the ISED radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.
