a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and
land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted
theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an
electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the
EUT is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the EUT should be observed to
verifynormal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such
as re-orienting or relocating the EUT.

b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than [V1] V / m.

Recommended Separation Distances Between Portable and Mobile RF Communications

Equipment and the FireCR Flash system.
The FireCR Flash system is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which
radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The user of the FireCR Flash system can help prevent
electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile
RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the FireCR Flash system as recommended
below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation
distance (d) in meters (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the
transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according
to the transmitter manufacturer.
Note 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.

Note 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected
by absorption and reflection from structures, objects, and people.

Chapter 6. Warranty and Repair Service

6.1. Standard Warranty

3D Imaging & Simulations Corp. warrants its non-consumable hardware products to be free
from defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty covers the cost of parts and labor to
repair the product. Please keep the shipping container for future use. Products returned to
the factory for repair should be properly packaged. To obtain warranty service, follow the
procedure described in the Repair Service section. Failure to do so will cause long delays and
additional expense to the customer.

The warranty is valid when the product is used for its intended purpose and does not cover
products which have been modified without written permission from 3D Imaging & Simulations
Corp., or which have been damaged by abuse, accident or connection to incompatible
equipment.

This warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, expressed or implied.

6.2. Repair Service

The company reserves the right to cease providing repair maintenance, parts and technical
support for its non-consumable hardware products five years after a product is discontinued.
Technical support for old versions of software products will cease 12 months after they are
upgraded or discontinued.

6.3. Out of Warranty Repair Service

Out of warranty repair service is available in selected geographical locations. Contact the
supplier for current terms and rates.

6.4. Shipping

The FireCR Flash is a solidly built system designed to survive shipping around the world.
However, in order to avoid damage during shipping, the FireCR Flash must be properly
packaged.

In general, the best way to package the FireCR Flash is in the original factory container. If this
is no longer available, we recommend that user carefully wraps the FireCR Flash in at least 75
mm (3 inch) of foam or bubble pack sheeting. The wrapped device should then be placed in a
sturdy cardboard carton. Mark the outside of the box with word FRAGILE and an arrow
showing which way is up.

We do not recommend using loose foam pellets to protect the FireCR Flash. If the carton is
dropped by the shipper, there is a good chance that the device will shift within the loose pellet
packing and be damaged.

If user needs to ship the FireCR Flash to another location, or back to the factory, and user does
not have a means to adequately package it, user can order additional shipping container. This
may seem an expense user would like to avoid, but it is inexpensive compared to the cost of
repairing an instrument that has sustained shipping damage.

It is user’s responsibility to package the system properly before shipping. If the packaging is
inadequate, and the system is damaged during shipping, the shipper will not honor user’s claim
for compensation.
