• When charging the camera, do not handle the plug or charger with wet Failure to observe this precaution could result in electric shock.
• Using a wall charger other than a SIONYX-approved wall charger can damage the Aurora camera battery and could result in fire or Use this product only with an agency approved power supply which meets local regulatory requirements (e.g., UL, CSA, VDE, CCC).
• Your Aurora camera lens cover is glass. Should the cover break, care should be taken to avoid injury due to broken glass. Keep out of reach of children. Contact SIONYX Customer Support.
• The temperature icon and a message appear on the camera status screen when the camera becomes too hot and needs to cool down. Simply let it sit and cool before attempting to use it again. Do not expose products containing batteries to excessive heat (e.g. from storage in direct sunlight, fire or the like).

CAUTION

Radio frequency emissions from electronic equipment can negatively affect the operation of other electronic equipment, causing it to malfunction. The wireless transmitters and electrical circuits in your product may cause interference in other electronic equipment. When using SIONYX products near another device, read that device’s user guide for any safety instructions. Power your camera off whenever it is forbidden to use it or when it may cause interference.

NOTICES

Avoid exposing your camera or battery to very cold or very hot temperatures. Low or high temperature conditions may shorten the battery life or cause the camera to temporarily stop working properly. The microphones in your camera are designed to provide optimal audio capture in a variety of environments. When Wi-Fi is on, microphones may detect and capture low-level noises. To prevent this noise, turn off Wi-Fi when recording. Abide by all local laws when using your SIONYX Aurora and related mounts and accessories, including all privacy laws, which may restrict recording in certain areas.

BATTERY SAFETY WARNING

The following precautions apply to all products that use rechargeable batteries, including lithium-ion. Improper battery use may result in serious injury, death, property damage, or damage to the product or related accessories as a result of battery fluid leakage, fire, overheating, or explosion. Released battery fluid is corrosive and may be toxic. It can cause skin and eye burns and is harmful if swallowed. If a battery leaks, remove all batteries by reversing the installation steps provided for this product, being careful to keep the leaked fluid from touching your skin or clothes. If fluid from the battery contacts skin or clothes, flush skin with water immediately. Before inserting new batteries, thoroughly clean the battery compartment with a dry cloth. To reduce the risk of injury and proper performance of your battery:

1. Keep batteries out of the reach of
2. Do not dismantle, open or shred battery pack or
3. Do not short-circuit the Do not store batteries in a box or drawer where they may short-circuit each other or be short-circuited by other metal objects.
4. Do not subject batteries to mechanical
5. Observe the plus (+) and minus (-) marks on the battery and equipment and ensure correct
6. Do not use any battery pack or cell which is not designed for use with the

Hereby, SIONYX, LLC. declares that the radio equipment type SIONYX Aurora is in compliance with Directive 2014/53/EU. The full text of the EU declaration of conformity is available at the following internet address: SIONYX.com/support. SIONYX LLC., 100 Cummings Center, Suite 303B, Beverly MA, 01915 USA.

The SIONYX Aurora camera transmits at 2.412 GHz – 2.462 GHz. The maximum power transmitted in this frequency band is EIRP 80.5 mW. Country specific rules and regulations can prevent or limit the use of some or all the listed frequency bands and power level.

IC Regulations

This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standards. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause interference and; (2) This device must accept any interference–including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. Canada: 5.150-5.250 GHz, Indoor use only.

IMPORTANT NOTE

IC Radiation Exposure Statement This EUT is in compliance with SAR for general population/uncontrolled exposure limits in IC RSS-102 and has been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and procedures specified in IEEE 1528.

FCC STATEMENT

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.

Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

NOTE: 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:

• Increase the separation between the equipment and the
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for

The provided shielded USB cable must be used with this unit to ensure compliance with the class B FCC limits.

FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement

1. This Transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

2. The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless 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.

The CDV-100C has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines.

RF Exposure Information (SAR)

This device has been designed and manufactured to comply with the limits for exposure to RF energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States, Industry Canada (IC) and the European Union and other countries. The exposure standards for wireless devices employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC/IC is 1.6W/kg averaged over 1 gram of tissue. The SAR limit recommended by The Council of the European Union is 2.0W/kg averaged over any 10 grams of tissue.

The FCC and IC have granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC and IC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this device is on file with the FCC and IC and can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc. gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: 2AOI7-CDV18A and under the Industry Canada Radio Equipment List database http://www.ic.gc.ca/app/sitt/reltel/srch/nwRdSrch.do? lang=eng after searching Certification Number 23556-CDV18A.

This device is in compliance with SAR for general population/uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1999 and has been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and procedures specified in OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C.
