30OptiView XG Network Analysis TabletGetting Started GuideBattery Life in Sleep or Shut down ModesTwo fully-charged batteries will last approximately 36 hours when the OptiView XG is in Sleep mode.If you plan to leave the OptiView XG in Sleep mode while unplugged from the AC adapter for an extended period, power-off the OptiView XG to avoid fully discharging the batteries. When the OptiView XG has been powered-off (using Windows Shut down), battery life is determined by the internal discharge rate of the lithium-ion batteries, which is approximately 5-10% per month.Battery CareTo maximize the life of lithium-ion batteries, avoid frequent full discharges. Partial discharges with frequent recharges will make the batteries last longer. Lithium-ion battery technology does not suffer from the “memory effect,” so recharge the batteries whenever it’s convenient. Avoid storing the batteries in a hot environment. For optimal long-term storage, store at about 50% charge, in a cool place.Extending Battery Operating TimeIn its default configuration, the OptiView XG will operate for approximately two hours with fully-charged batteries. When only using the wireless adapters to connect to the network (not using Network Ports A, B, C, or D) you can approximately double operating time by switching off power to the network ports. You may want to do this when using the following (optional) applications for an extended period of time for field operations: • AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer PRO• AirMagnet Spectrum XT• AirMagnet Survey PROTo Switch Off Power to Network Ports A, B, C, and D1. Select the OptiView Power Control icon from the System Tray.

Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.OptiView XG Identification NumbersFCC ID: WA7-OPTIVIEW-XGIC ID: 6627C-OPTIVIEWXG
60OptiView XG Network Analysis TabletGetting Started GuideExposure to RF EnergyTHIS MODEL DEVICE MEETS U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY RADIATION.The OptiView XG 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 and by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The device also meets the European Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment (R&TTE) directive, for protecting the health and safety of the user and other persons.These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines that establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. Before a device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to operate within the limits for safe exposure established by the FCC and international organizations. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., next to 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 (see below) evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines.This device meets RF exposure guidelines when the antennas are positioned at a minimum distance from the body. In order to transmit data or messages, this device requires a quality connection to the network. In some cases, transmission of data or messages may be delayed until such a connection becomes available. Be sure that the recommended distance is observed until the transmission is complete. The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. The international guidelines state that the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 2.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of body tissue. SAR values may vary depending on national reporting requirements and the network band. 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 maximum value because the device operates at multiple power levels and uses only the power required to reach the network. SAR information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID: WA7-OPTIVIEW-XG.
