Year of manufacture:

 The detector’s year of manufacture is 

determined from the serial number. The second and third 
number after the first letter determines the year of manufacture. 
E.g., H306-Y000001 = 2006 year of manufacture

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 and ICES-003 Canadian EMI requirements. 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.
