medical devices or other systems that may directly or indirectly

impact human life. When using the device in computer and other

systems that demand a greater degree of reliability than Bluetooth

networks, be sure to take all necessary precautions to ensure

safety and prevent malfunction.

■Use only in the country in which the device was purchased�

This device conforms to regulations governing Bluetooth devices

in the country in which it was purchased. Observe all location

regulations when using the device. FUJIFILM Corporation and its

affiliates do not accept liability for problems arising from use in

other jurisdictions.

■Wireless data (images) may be intercepted by third parties�

The security of data transmitted over wireless networks is not

guaranteed.

Do not use the device in locations subject to magnetic fields, static

electricity, or radio interference.

■Do not use the transmitter in the vicinity of microwave ovens

or in other locations subject to magnetic fields, static

electricity, or radio interference that may prevent reception of

wireless signals� Mutual interference may occur when the

transmitter is used in the vicinity of other wireless devices

operating in the 2�4 GHz band�

■The Bluetooth transmitter operates in the 2�4 GHz band� The

standard output is approximately 3�16 mW�

■This device operates on the same frequency as commercial,

educational, and medical devices and wireless transmitters�

It also operates on the same frequency as licensed transmitters

and special unlicensed low-voltage transmitters used in radio-

frequency identification tracking systems for assembly lines and in

other similar applications.

13

■To prevent interference with the above devices, observe the

following precautions�

Confirm that the radio-frequency identification transmitter is not

in operation before using this device. If you notice that this device

causes interference in low-voltage radio-frequency identification

tracing systems, contact a Fujifilm representative.

For customers in the USA:

Contains IC : 7736B-03000007

Contains FCC ID : W2Z-03000008

FCC Statement

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.

For more information, access the website below.

CAUTION

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 installation. 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, which can be

determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is

encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of

the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from

that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Fujifilm

responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to

operate the equipment.

This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction

with any other antenna or transmitter.

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health

problems are associated with using low power wireless devices.

There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices

are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices emit low levels of

radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being

used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by

heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce

heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many

studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological

effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects

might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by

additional research. This device has been tested and found to

comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an

uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF)

Exposure Guidelines.

Notes on the Grant

To comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules, this product must be used

with a Fujifilm-specified Micro USB cable.
