iCON® XY
FCC-ID: NCMOGI0337
Safety & Certification Leaflet
Your iCON® XY is like a mobile phone
Your iCON® XY uses the same technology as a mobile phone. It is important that you always obey all safety
regulations related to mobile phone use. If you have any doubt about the safe operation of your iCON® XY you should
remove the iCON® XY from the PC and seek advice from authorized personnel.
Handle with care
This device is designed to be plugged directly into the USB port of a computer, however, every precaution should be
taken to avoid stress on the device should the computer be lifted, moved, relocated or packaged. Should regular
movement of this nature be envisaged, an extender cable (sometimes supplied with the device) should be used so as
to avoid damage to the device. It should be noted that any damage sustained as a result of the aforementioned
mishandling will be regarded as “User Damage” and shall render the product warranty null and void.
1. Safety Measurements
Please be sure to read the following safety information. Failure to do so could put yourself and others at risk.
1.1 General recommendations for use
Always handle the iCON® XY with care and keep it in a clean and dust-free location. Do not expose the device to
sources of naked flames or incandescent heat.
Do not allow the iCON® XY to come into contact with liquids (e.g. spray water or rain) or moisture and avoid
exposing it to high levels of humidity.
Do not drop or throw the iCON® XY and do not attempt to bend it.
Do not paint your device.
Do not attempt to take the iCON® XY apart yourself. There is a risk of injury. Your warranty would also be voided.
Do not touch the antenna of the iCON® XY unnecessarily. This applies to both internal and external designs.
1.2 On the move: Handle the iCON® XY with care during a journey. We recommend that you disconnect the device
from your notebook and place it in your luggage for safe keeping.
1.3 Ambient temperature: Do not expose the iCON® XY or its antenna to ambient temperatures outside the
permissible range of 0 to +40 degrees Celsius.
1.4 Explosive atmospheres: Always keep your computer switched off in potentially explosive atmospheres. It may be
rare, but your computer is capable of producing sparks that could cause an explosion or a fire. Areas of potentially
explosive atmospheres are always clearly signed. These include petrol stations, the lower deck of boats, petrol and
chemical storage depots, loading stations, or any place in which the air is contaminated by chemicals or particles such
as dust, wood fibres, flour or metal dust, etc. Do not transport or stow your computer and its accessories in a
compartment of a vehicle that contains flammable gas, moisture or explosive devices.
1.5 Demolition zones – construction sites: Switch off your notebook in demolition zones. This will help to prevent
interference with the radio signal used in demolition operations.
1.6 Prohibited use on aeroplanes: The use of a wireless communications device in an aeroplane may cause
interference and is prohibited. Remove the iCON® XY if you intend to use your notebook during the flight. Alternatively,
you could activate the flight mode of PARAM_APP_NAME. Do not use on the ground before take-off without the
express permission of the flight crew.

1.7 Prohibited use in hospitals: Make sure that you are not in breach of any local restrictions or regulations.
Authorities often request that you switch off all electronic devices in the immediate vicinity of hospitals. This is a
recommendation that Option® fully supports. If the iCON® XY is used in the proximity of sensitive electronic equipment,
the device could interfere with this equipment. If you intend to use your notebook in this kind of environment, you must
remove the iCON® XY beforehand.
1.8 Interference from radio signals: Option®takes into account the findings of health authorities and expert
committees that have investigated the potentially undesirable effects of the radio-frequency radiation emitted by the
iCON® XY.
1.9 Immunity to interference: Electromagnetic interference is a disturbance of the normal workings of a device, based
on how the device responds to radio signals from an external source. Occasionally, for example, you may hear a brief
noise emitted by audio equipment, such as a radio or loudspeaker. However, these audible signals do not affect the
equipment's ability to perform correctly.
European Commission Directive 2004/108/EC regulates all types of electronic equipment, their interference signal
levels, and their immunity to interference signals from external sources. Any item of equipment that complies with this
directive will, in all probability, be unaffected by interference signals. However, all wireless communication devices are
capable of receiving interference signals that could affect their performance.
1.10 Pacemakers, implanted defibrillators & other medical implant devices
It may be that some types of pacemaker or implanted defibrillator suffer interference when the iCON® XY is operated in
the immediate proximity of the implant. Before you operate the iCON® XY, you should therefore seek the advice of a
doctor who has specialist knowledge of your type of implant. Health authorities in many countries offer advisory
services for the safe use of medical equipment and implants and they will be able to inform you, for example, about the
safe distance to be kept between your mobile device or radio and the implant. Companies that distribute or supply
Option® hardware take into account the advice of health authorities or national consulting services and recommend that
there should, at the absolute minimum, be a distance of 20 cm between the iCON® XY or other mobile wireless
terminal devices and the implant.
1.11 Hearing aids: People with hearing aids or cochlear implants may, in individual cases, perceive interference noise
when they are using, or in the close presence of, a mobile terminal device. The intensity of the disturbance depends
ultimately on the type of mobile terminal device, the type of hearing aid/implant and the distance between them. With
increasing distance between the terminal device and the hearing aid/implant, the effect of the interference signal can
be reduced.
1.12 Children: Do not allow children to play with the iCON® XY. They could injure themselves or others, or accidentally
damage the device. The smaller parts of the iCON® XY have sharp edges, which could cause injury or become
detached and pose a risk of asphyxiation
1.13 Driving: Do NOT use the iCON® XY while driving. Always park the vehicle first.
1.14 SIM cards: To minimize the risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD), you should avoid touching the SIM card slots of
the iCON® XY. Do not remove or insert a SIM card unless the iCON® XY has been disconnected from the computer.
1.15 Accessories: Use only accessories that have been approved by Option®. Do not use incompatible products
under any circumstances. If accessories of third-party manufacturers are used, Option®cannot guarantee that these
accessories will work properly and correctly unless they have been tested and approved by Option®.
1.16 Safe distance: The intensity of the radio-frequency radiation emitted by the iCON® XY has been rigorously tested
for compliance with requirements concerning the specific absorption rate (SAR). These tests simulate the absorption
by human body tissue of radiation emitted by a mobile communications device.
iCON® XY meets FCC requirements governing the specific absorption rate (SAR).
The measurements were carried out in accordance with the guidelines set forth in Appendix C of OET Bulletin 65 of the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for evaluating the compliance of mobile and portable devices with the
Safety & Certification Leaflet

FCC limits for human (general population) exposure to radio-frequency electromagnetic fields. The device was tested
in all applicable USB directions at a distance of 5 mm from the phantom object. FCC guidelines specify a limit of 1.6
W/kg averaged over a mass of 1 g for single-platform devices, in this case a notebook platform.
iCON® XY meets the requirements governing the specific absorption rate (SAR) as specified in the recommendation of
the Council of Europe. In the Council of Europe's recommendation, the limit value for the specific absorption rate (SAR)
was, based on ICNIRP guidance, set at 2.0 W/kg over a mass of 10 g (Council Recommendation 1999/519/EC).
Further details are available on request.
For daily users, we recommend that a minimum distance of 20 cm be maintained from the antenna.
Users who have concerns about mobile radio radiation are advised to restrict the duration of their calls and position the
antenna as far as possible away from the body
