SAFETY

FIRST

Please read all the safety notices before using this device.

This device is designed to be used at least 20 cm from

your body. Do not use the device near fuel or chemicals or

in any prescribed area such as service stations, refineries,

hospitals and aircraft. Obey all warning signs where posted.

RAdIO FREQUENCY SAFETY INFORMATION

The device has an internal antenna. For optimum

performance with minimum power consumption do not

shield the device or cover with any object. Covering the

antenna affects signal quality, may cause the router to

operate at a higher power level than needed, and may

shorten battery life.

RAdIO FREQUENCY ENERGY

Your wireless device is a low-power radio transmitter and

receiver. When switched on it intermittently transmits radio

frequency (RF) energy (radio waves). The transmit power

level is optimised for best performance and automatically

reduces when there is good quality reception. Maximum

power is only used at the edge of network coverage so

under most circumstances the power output is very low.

Under poor network conditions the device transmits at a

higher power, may get hot and have a significantly shorter

battery life.

dECLARATION OF CONFORMITY –

SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR)

The wireless device is designed to be used at least 20 cm

from the body. We declare that the product detailed in

this manual, and in combination with our accessories,

conform with the essential requirements of The Radio
