RF Radiation Information
This product must be restricted to operations in an Occupational/Controlled RF exposure Environments. Users must be
fully aware of the hazards of the exposure and able to exercise control over their RF exposure to qualify for the higher
exposure limits.
RF Radiation Profile
Radio Frequency (RF) is a frequency of electromagnetic radiation in the range at which radio signals are transmitted. RF
technology is widely used in communication, medicine, food processing and other fields. It may generate radiation during
use.
RF Radiation Safety
In order to ensure user health, experts from relevant industries including science, engineering, medicine and health work
with international organizations to develop standards for safe exposure to RF radiation. These standards consist of:
United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR § 1.1307, 1.1310 and

2.1091
American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1:2005;
Canada RSS102 Issue 5 March 2015
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1:2005 Edition
FCC Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, it may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. Verification of harmful interference by this equipment to radio or
television reception can be determined by turning it off and then 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.
