Appendix B
Safety and Usage Tips
About Bluetooth and Health
Bluetooth wireless technology allows you to use short-range radio signals
to connect a variety of devices, such as mobile phones, Pocket PCs,
notebook computers, printers, LAN access points, and many other devices
at home or work. These radio signals replace the cables that have
traditionally connected these devices.
Bluetooth enabled products have small radio transmitters and receivers.
Output power is normally very low. This gives a working range of
approximately 100 meters.
The maximum exposure levels from Bluetooth enabled products are far
below recommended safety guidelines. At most, typical Bluetooth enabled
devices (1 mW) reach only one percent of the prescribed safety levels.
Product Care
• Do not expose your product to liquid, moisture or extreme humidity.
• Do not expose your product to extreme high or low temperatures.
• Do not expose your product to lit candles, cigarettes, cigars, open
flames, etc.
• Do not drop, throw or try to bend the product, as rough treatment could
damage it.
• Do not paint your product, as the paint could obstruct parts and prevent
normal use.
• Do not attempt to disassemble your product: a broken warranty seal will
void the warranty. The product does not contain consumer serviceable
components. Should your Class 1USB Adapter need service, please
contact Socket technical support at:
www.socketmobile.com/support/support/.
• Treat your product with care. Keep in a clean and dust-free place.
• Changes or modifications of this product, not expressly approved by
Socket, may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
8 | APPENDIX B: SAFETY AND USAGE TIPS
Antenna Care
Do not place a metallic shield around your adapter since it will reduce the
radio transmission efficiency.
Efficient Use
For optimum performance, please make sure that there is no metal
surrounding your adapter.
Driving
RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor
vehicles, such as car stereo, safety equipment, etc. Check with
your vehicle manufacturer’s representative to be sure that your
adapter will not affect the electronic system in your vehicle.
Aircraft
• Unplug the Class 1 USB Adapter before boarding any aircraft.
• To prevent interference with communications systems, you must
not use your Class 1 USB Adapter while the plane is in the air.
• Do not use it on the ground without permission from the
crew.
Radio Frequency Exposure
Your Class 1 USB Adapter is a radio transmitter and receiver. When in
operation, it communicates with other Bluetooth enabled devices by
receiving and transmitting radio frequency (RF) magnetic fields in the
frequency range 2400 to 2500 MHz. The output power of the radio
transmitter is 13.5 dBm.
You should keep your Class 1 USB Adapter at least 20 cm away from your
body during use.
The Class 1 USB Adapter is designed to be in compliance with the RF
exposure limits set by national authorities and international health
agencies when installed or used separately from other antennas or radio
transmitters.
