1Safety information
· Securely place the printer on a stable surface.
· Keep the ventilation inlets and outlets of the braille printer free.
· Connect the braille printer to a grounded power outlet only.
· Warning: This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may
cause radio-interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate
measures.
· Warning: The user is recommended to use ear protection or an Acoustic Hood to
reduce the sound pressure. Long-time exposure without protection can lead to
hearing loss.
1.1 Approvals
FCC Compliance
This device contains FCC ID: PVH0953
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 reception, 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 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.
IC compliance
This device contains IC: 5325-0953
This device complies with IndustryCanada license-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

2Safety information
© 2020 Index Braille www.indexbraille.com
this device may not cause interference, and this device must accept any interference, including interference
that may cause undesired operation of the device. Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio
transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the
transmitter by IndustryCanada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and
its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that
necessary for successful communication. The device for operation in the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for
indoor use to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems; the
maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5470-5725 MHz shall
complywith the e.i.r.p. limit; and the maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the band 5725-5825
MHz shall comply with the e.i.r.p. limits
Conformité aux normes d’IC
Cet appareil est conforme à la(aux) norme(s) RSS sans licence d’IndustryCanada.
Son utilisation est soumise aux deux conditions suivantes :
Cet appareil ne doit pas causer d’interférences et il doit accepter toutes interférences reçues, ycompris
celles susceptibles d’avoir des effets indésirables sur son fonctionnement. Conformément aux
réglementations d’IndustryCanada, cet émetteur radio ne peut fonctionner qu’à l’aide d’une antenne dont
le type et le gain maximal (ou minimal) ont été approuvés pour cet émetteur par IndustryCanada. Pour
réduire le risque d’interférences avec d’autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son gain de
telle sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e) ne soit pas supérieure à celle requise
pour obtenir une communication satisfaisante. Le dispositif de fonctionnement dans la bande 5150-5250
MHz est réservé à une utilisation en intérieur pour réduire le risque d'interférences nuisibles à la co-canal
systèmes mobiles par satellite, le gain d'antenne maximal autorisé pour les appareils dans les bandes
5250-5350 MHz et 5470-5725 MHz doit se conformer à la pire limite, et le gain d'antenne maximal autorisé
pour les appareils dans la bande 5725-5825 MHz doivent être conformes avec le pire limites spécifiées à
point-à-ponctuelles et non point-à-point de fonctionnement selon qu'il convient. Opération dans la bande
5600-5650 MHz n'est pas autorisée au Canada. Haute puissance radars sont désignés comme
utilisateurs principaux (c.-àutilisateurs prioritaires) des bandes 5250-5350 MHz et 5650-5850 MHz et que
ces radars pourraient causer des interférences et / ou des dommages à dispositifs LAN-EL. Cet
équipement respecte les limites d’exposition aux rayonnements IC RSS-102 définies pour un
environnement non contrôlé. Il doit être installé et utilisé en maintenant une distance minimum de 20 cm
entre le radiateur et votre corps.
Bloutooth Qualification
This device contains Bluetooth module qualified as "Controller system" - QD ID 58171
Japan radio equipment compliance
The ODIN-W1 module complies with the Japanese Technical Regulation ConformityCertification of
Specified Radio Equipment (ordinance of MPT N°. 37, 1981), Article 2, Paragraph 1:
· Item 19 "2.4 GHzband wide band low power data communication system"
· Item 19-3 “Low power data communications system in the 5.2/5.3 GHz band”
· Item 19-3-2 “Low power data communications system in the 5.6 GHz band”
The ODIN-W1 MIC certification number is 204-510008.

The ODIN-W1 module is restricted on the Japanese market to be used indoors only, if operating in the
5.2/5.3 GHz band.
LVD Low Voltage Directive
This device shall be connected to a close and easilyaccessible grounded outlet.
