ii1. This Transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.2. This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure com-pliance requirements, avoid direct contact to the transmitting antenna during transmitting.3. Any changes or modifications (including the antennas) made to this device that are not expressly approved by the manufacturer may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.RF Radiation Exposure Statement:For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.Canadian Compliance StatementThis Class B Digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.Cet appareil numerique de la classe B respecte les exigences du Reglement sur le material broilleur du Canada.European Conformity StatementDeclaration of Conformity with Regard to the R&TTE 1999/5/EC and EMC 89/336/ EEC directives.Battery NoticesThis unit is equipped with a battery pack and backup battery. Both batteries will discharge after an extended period of not being used. When both batteries are discharged, recharge the unit for 16 hours in order to fully charge the main battery and backup battery. If the main battery is removed, the backup battery ensures the data on SDRAM is safe for up to 8 hours. To prevent data loss, do not leave the mobile computer uncharged with the main battery removed for an extended period.Battery Charge NoticeIt is important to consider the environment temperature whenever you are charging the Lithium-Ion battery pack. The process is most efficient at normal room temperature or slightly cooler. It is essential that you charge batteries within the stated range of 10°C to 40°C. Charging batteries outside of the specified range could damage the batteries and shorten.
About This ManualiiiStorage and Safety NoticeAlthough charged Lithium-Ion batteries may be left unused for several months, their capacity may be depleted due to build up of internal resistance. If this happens they will require recharging prior to use. Lithium-Ion batteries may be stored at temperatures between -20°C to 60°C, however they may be depleted more rapidly at the high end of this range. It is recommended to store batteries within normal room temperature.
