information storage and retrieval systems, without permission in writing
received from iMotion. The material in this manual is subject to change
without prior notice.

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 with radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
Signal Interference from TV or Radio

an Imager Aiming System with a laser light that is visible to the human eye
and is emitted from the scan window at the top of the device.
Hearing Safety
Do not listen to ear phones at high volume levels to prevent the possibility of
hearing damage.
Body-worn Operation Safety
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations. A minimum
separation distance must be maintained between the user’s body and the
handset, including the antenna: 0.5 cm to comply with the RF exposure
requirements in Europe. Third-party belt-clips, holsters and similar
accessories used by this device should not contain any metallic components.
Body-worn accessories that do not meet these requirements may not comply
with RF exposure requirements and should be avoided.
