Notes on security when using Wi-Fi products
• With a Wi-Fi connection, information is
exchanged wirelessly and as long as radio signals
reach the unit, flexible connection is possible.
However, because radio signals can penetrate
through obstacles (wood, glass, etc.), if there is no
security-related setting, the following problems
could occur.
• A malicious third party intentionally
intercepts radio signals to spy on
communication content.
• Unauthorized intrusion causes the leaking of
important information.
• Intercepted communication contents are
rewritten and transmitted.
• Destructive computer viruses are released
that can destroy data or systems.
For security protection, we recommend to change
the password periodically using the [Wi-Fi]
function of the device (☞P.12).
• Should a problem occur for an inevitable reason

DS-F1 is equipped with WLAN device with IC and
FCC ID:
– FCC ID: YSKA01,
– IC: 4763EA01
The available scientific evidence does not show
that any health problems are associated with using
low power wireless devices. There is no proof,
however, that these low power wireless devices
are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices
emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in
the microwave range while being used. Whereas
high levels of RF can produce health effects (by
heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does
not produce heating effects causes no known
adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level
RF exposures have not found any biological
effects. Some studies have suggested that some
biological effects might occur, but such findings
have not been confirmed by additional research.
DS-F1 has been tested and found to comply with
FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio
frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement
C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency
(RF) Exposure rules. SAR testing has been done at a
distance of 0 cm from the body and the head.
