FCC REQUIREMENTS PART 15
This device 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.
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 instal-
lation. 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 television reception which can be deter-
mined by turning the radio or television off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct interference by one or more of the
following measures:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on another circuit.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation
This device and its antenna must not be co-located or operated
in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. To com-
ply with FCC RF exposure requirements, only use the supplied
antenna.
The radiated output power of this internal wireless radio is far
below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless,
the wireless radio shall be used as described in the manual.
The internal wireless radio operates within guidelines found in
radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, which
reflect the consensus of the scientific community.
Plantronics therefore believes the internal wireless radio is safe
for use by consumers. The level of energy emitted is far less than
the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices such
as mobile phones. However, the use of wireless radios may be
restricted in some situations or environments, such as aboard
airplanes. If you are unsure of restrictions, you are encouraged
to ask for authorization before turning on the wireless radio.
NOTE: Modifications not expressly approved by Plantronics, Inc.
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
