12. Additional Information
1. Radio frequency exposure
This Bluetooth Headset, HBM-550, is a radio transmitter and receiver. When in operation,
it communicates with a Bluetooth equipped mobile device by receiving and transmitting
radio frequency(RF) electromagnetic fields (microwaves) in the frequency range 2.4 to
2.4835 GHz. The output power of the radio transmitter is low, 0.001 watt. Your Bluetooth
Headset is designed to operate in compliance with the RF exposure guidelines and limits
set by national authorities and international health agencies when used any compatible LG
Electronics mobile phone.
2. Potentially explosive atmosphere
Turn off your electronic device when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It
is rare, but your electronic device could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could
cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Areas with a potentially
explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked.
3. Emergency calls
IMPORTANT!
This Bluetooth Headset and the electronic device connected to the Headset operate using
radio signals, cellular and landline networks as well as user-programmed functions, which
cannot guarantee connection under all conditions. Therefore you should never rely solely
upon any electronic device for essential communications (e.g. medical emergencies).
Remember, in order to make or receive calls, the Headset and the electronic device
Clipcomm, Inc. Confidential Page 11
connected to the Headset must be switched on and in a service area with adequate
cellular signal strength. Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular phone
networks or when certain network services and/or phone features are in use. Check with
your local service provider.
4. Battery information
A rechargeable battery has a long service life if treated properly. A new battery or one that has not
been used for a long period of time could have reduced capacity the first few times it is used. Do not
expose the battery to extreme temperatures, never above +60°(+140°F) or under -20°(-4°F). For
maximum battery capacity, use the battery in room temperature. If the battery is used in low
temperatures, the battery capacity will be reduced. The battery can only be charged in temperatures
between +10° (+50 °F) and +45° (+113°F).
5. Recycling the battery in your Bluetooth Headset
