Safety information
Radiofrequency (RF) Energy Emission
Your device is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and sends out RF signals.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with
safety levels for handheld wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards
previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:
•ANSI C95.1 (1992)
•NCRP Report 86 (1986)
•ICNIRP (1996)
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature.
For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies,
and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C951).
Your device has been equipped with internal shielding to minimize stray emissions of RF energy. However,
using your device can still be limited in the some instances.
When boarding aircraft
•Most airline regulations prohibit the on-board use of portable PCs (and all other portable
electronic devices that could potentially emit stray RF energy), particularly during take-offs and
landings, to prevent any possible interference with the reception of signals by airborne electronic
navigational devices.
•FCC regulations prohibit using your device while in the air. Turn your device OFF before boarding
an aircraft.
•Always request and obtain prior consent and approval of an authorized airline representative
before using your device aboard an aircraft.
•Always follow the instructions of the airline representative whenever using your device aboard an
aircraft, to prevent any possible interference with airborne electronic equipment.
When inside hospitals and other health care facilities
•Turn your device OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct
you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to
external RF energy. “device OFF” means to turn the radio stand by switch “OFF”, then turn the
power off by pressing the Power button.
•Always comply with posted prohibitions of the use of RF-emitting devices in hospitals and other
medical facilities. Failure to follow such directives could result in the interference with medical
equipment and/or devices.
Posted facilities
Turn your device OFF in any facility where posted notices require so.
Blasting areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your device OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted
“Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs and instructions.
Within certain radius from some electronic equipment
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment may
not be shielded against the RF signals from your device including:
•Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six
(6") inches must be maintained between your device and a pacemaker to avoid potential
13
interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the
independent research and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Never come closer than six (6) inches to a person with a heart pacemaker implant when
using this device. Failure to do so could result in interference with the function of the
pacemaker.
Persons with pacemakers
•You should ALWAYS keep the device more than six inches from their pacemaker
when the device is turned ON.
•You should not carry the device in a breast pocket.
•If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn your device
OFF immediately.
