APPENDIX B: SAFETY AND USAGE TIPS | 63 Appendix B Safety and Usage Tips About Bluetooth and Health Bluetooth wireless technology allows you to use short-range radio signals to connect a variety of devices, such as mobile phones, Pocket PCs, notebook computers, printers, LAN access points, and many other devices at home or work. These radio signals replace the cables that have traditionally connected these devices. Bluetooth products have small radio transmitters and receivers. Output power is normally very low, only 1 mW (1/1000 of a watt). This gives a working range of approximately 10 meters. The maximum exposure levels from Bluetooth products are far below recommended safety guidelines. At most, typical Bluetooth devices (1mW) reach only one percent of the prescribed safety levels. CompactFlash Card Product Care • Do not expose your product to liquid, moisture or extreme humidity. • Do not expose your product to extreme high or low temperatures. • Do not expose your product to lit candles, cigarettes, or cigars, or to open flames, etc. • Do not drop, throw or try to bend the product, as rough treatment could damage it. • Do not paint your product, as the paint could obstruct parts and prevent normal use. • Do not attempt to disassemble your product: a broken warranty seal will void the warranty. The product does not contain consumer serviceable components. Should your Bluetooth Card need service, please contact Socket technical support at: techsupport@socketcom.com. • Treat your product with care. Keep in a clean and dust-free place. • Changes or modifications of this product, not expressly approved by Socket, may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Antenna Care Do not place a metallic shield around your Bluetooth Card since it will reduce the radio transmission efficiency.
64 | APPENDIX B: SAFETY AND USAGE TIPS Efficient Use For optimum performance, please make sure that there is no metal surrounding your Bluetooth Card. Driving RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles, such as car stereo, safety equipment, etc. Check with your vehicle manufacturer’s representative to be sure that your Bluetooth Card will not affect the electronic system in your vehicle. Aircraft • Turn off your Bluetooth Card antenna before boarding any aircraft. • To prevent interference with communications systems, you must not use your Bluetooth Card while the plane is in the air. • Do not use it on the ground without permission from the crew. Radio Frequency Exposure Your Bluetooth Card is a radio transmitter and receiver. When in operation, it communicates with a Bluetooth-equipped mobile phone, mobile computer or other device by receiving and transmitting radio frequency (RF) magnetic fields in the frequency range 2400 to 2500 MHz. The output power of the radio transmitter is 0.001 Watt. The Bluetooth Card unit is designed to be in compliance with the RF exposure limits set by national authorities and international health agencies1 when installed or used separately from other antennas or radio transmitters. 1 Examples of RF exposure standards and guidelines: ICNIRP, “Guidelines for limiting exposure to time-varying electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields (up to 300 GHz)”, International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), Health Physics, vol. 74, pp 494-533, April 1998. 99/519/EC, EU Council Recommendation on the limitation of exposure to the general public to electromagnetic fields 0 Hz – 300 GHz, Official Journal of the European Communities, July 12, 1999.
