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
N14036
