areas, fuel storehouses, below deck on boats, chemical plants, fuel or chemical transfer
or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as
grain, dust, or metal powders. Please be aware that sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
When in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere or where flammable
materials exist, the device should be turned off and the user should obey all signs and
instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily
injury or even death. Users are advised not to use the equipment at refueling points
such as service or gas stations, and are reminded of the need to observe restrictions
on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants, or where blasting
operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often,
but not always, clearly marked. These include fueling areas, below deck on boats, fuel
or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR RF EXPOSURE
• Avoid using your device near metal structures (for example, the steel frame of a
building).
• Avoid using your device near strong electromagnetic sources, such as microwave
ovens, sound speakers, TV and radio.
• Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories that do not

Federal Communications Commission Notice
DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY
This wireless device, CLIO200, manufactured by High Tech Computer Corp., 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.
Responsible Party: High Tech Computer Corp.
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 TV reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment on and
off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or television technician for help.
Modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
118 Appendix
FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States
with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for
human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated
transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by
both U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this device complies with
the FCC guidelines and these international standards.
Modifications
The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications made to the
device that are not expressly approved by High Tech Computer Corporation may void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
SAR Information
SAR Value:
• 1.31 W/kg @ 1g (Body)
THIS MODEL DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIO WAVES.
For body worn operation, this mobile computer has been tested and meets the FCC
RF exposure guidelines when used with the High Tech Computer Corp. accessories
supplied or designated for this product. Use of other accessories may not ensure
compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Your mobile computer is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These
limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy
for the general population. The guidelines are based on the safety standards previously
set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992.
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP). Report 86.
1986.
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996.
• Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. The standards include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and
health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile employs a unit of measurement known as
the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg*. Tests for
SAR are conducted with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in
all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified
power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the
Appendix 119
maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power
levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer
you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. Before a device
model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that
it does not exceed the limit established by the government adopted requirement for
safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the worn on
the body) as required by the FCC for each model.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
SAR information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can be found under
the Display Grant section of
https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm
after searching on FCC ID: CLIO200.
Telecommunications & Internet Association (TIA) Safety
Information
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of six inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone
and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers:
• Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when
the phone is turned ON.
• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
turn your phone OFF immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of
such interference, you may want to consult your service provider, or call the customer
service line to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device
to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician
may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
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.
