Radio Frequency Interference Regulations
This equipment has been tested and has been 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 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
unwanted interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installa-
tion. If this equipment does cause unwanted interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equip-
ment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interfer-
ence by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
I n c rease the separation between the equipment and re c e i v e r.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit diff e rent from
that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician to
h e l p .
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Motorola
and SimpleDevices could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.

Notification of Canadian Requirements
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio
noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the Radio
Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of
Communications.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques
dépassant les limites applicable aux appareils numériques de classe
B prescrites dans le règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édic-
té par let Ministère des Communications du Canada.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation
The radiated output power of the this internal wireless radio is far
below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the
wireless radio shall be used in such a manner that the radio is 2.5 cm
or further from the human body.
The internal wireless radio operates within guidelines found in radio
frequency safety standards and recommendations, which reflect the
consensus of the scientific community. SimpleDevices therefore
believes the internal wireless radio is safe for use by consumers. The
level of energy emitted is far less than the electromagnetic energy
emitted by wireless devices such as mobile phones. However, the
use of wireless radios may be restricted in some situations or envi-
ronments, such as aboard airplanes. If you are unsure of restrictions,
you are encouraged to ask for authorization before turning on the
wireless radio.

Stream Music To Your Stereo
The Motoro l a s i m p l e f iDigital Audio Receiver enables you to
w i r elessly stream CD-quality digital audio from your PC or the Intern e t
to high-fidelity stereo equipment in your home. You no longer have to
listen to your MP3s and Internet radio streams on your computer
speakers or headphones while your expensive home stereo equipment
sits unused!
Easy To Install
The Motoro l a s i m p l e f i is simple to install, and our easy-to-use and
intuitive software will have you playing digital music on your stereo in
minutes. Included in the s i m p l e f i system is a wireless adapter that
enables you to set up a home wireless network, a key feature of this
p r oduct, because it means you don’t have to move your PC next to
your stereo—you can stream digital music to stereo equipment
a n y w h e re in the house.
We recommend that you follow our step-by-step installation guide in
this manual to ensure that you install the wireless adapter software and
S i m p l e Wa r e software corre c t l y. Using this manual, installation is a quick
and easy four-step process. When the software is installed, and you’ve
plugged s i m p l e f i into your stereo, you’re ready to build your online
music collection.
Simple To Manage
H e re ’s how it works. At your PC, add your favorite digital audio
content to your Media Manager, which enables you to create channels
to organize your music and Internet audio streams, and also allows you
to build playlists to group the music you like (rock, classical guitar,
opera, etc.), organize by artist (all the songs you own by Madonna, for
example), or create music mixes for any occasion (dinner music, part y
mixes, Saturday morning tunes, etc.).
Now that you’ve added music and Internet audio streams to Media
M a n a g e r, you can access and listen to them on your home stereo. Use
the removable s i m p l e f i remote control to select and play your playlists
and favorite Internet channels right at your stereo.
