Precautions for Wireless Product and Radio Wave
Wireless Product
- The standards applicable to the wireless function of this product are as follows.
• IEEE802.11a/b/g/n (2.4-GHz band)
• IEEE802.11a (5-GHz band W52)
• IEEE802.15.4
- This product uses a wireless module that obtains a technical standards conformity certi cation.
- The wireless LAN standard value that appears in this manual is the theoretical maximum value
which does not indicate the actual data transmission rate.
Radio Wave
- Since the wireless LAN frequency band of this product is shared by the private radio station or
speci c small power radio station for mobile object identi cation devices used for the industrial
equipment/scienti c instruments such as medical equipment and microwave oven, or in factory
production lines, a wireless communication failure may occur due to radio wave interference.
- When this product is used near the equipment using IEEE802.11n (2.4-GHz band), IEEE802.11g,
IEEE802.11b or IEEE802.15.4 wireless LAN or other wireless equipment, radio wave emitting
equipment such as microwave oven, in a place with many obstacles or poor radio wave condition,
the following problems may occur: frequent loss of connection, signi cant decrease in communi-
cation speed or communication error.
Precautions
- Do not use this product in the following situations.
• In a place where the use of wireless equipment is prohibited
• Near a device that emits radio wave such as microwave oven
- Before using this product, make sure that the private radio station or speci c small power radio
station for mobile object identi cation devices is not operated within the interference range.
- If radio wave interference with the private radio station or speci c small power radio station for
mobile object identi cation devices occurs during use of this product, change the frequency imme-
diately or stop using the product.
- This product is also compatible with IEEE802.11a type W52. Since the outdoor use of W52 is
prohibited by the radio law, disable the W52 function to use the product outdoors. To disable the
W52 function, stop using the 5-GHz band wireless connection and use the 2.4-GHz band wireless
connection instead, or turn off the wireless function.

9
- Since your Bluetooth and the wireless LAN of this product use the same radio frequency of 2.4-GHz
band, using them at the same time may cause radio wave interference, resulting in decreased
communication speed or network disconnection. If a connection trouble occurs, stop using either
your Bluetooth or the wireless LAN of this product.
- Use the wireless function of RIONOTE and SA-A1WD only in Japan for both 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz
bands.
This product cannot be used overseas because it is usable under the Japanese radio law. Before
using this product, check if the use of it is prohibited or restricted by local laws or government ordi-
nances.
Wireless LAN Precautions
The wireless LAN uses a radio wave instead of LAN cable to transmit information. Therefore, LAN
connection can be established freely within the area where a radio wave reaches. On the other hand,
the following problems may occur because a radio wave can reach any places through obstacles (wall,
etc.) within a speci c range.
- Furtive glance at communication details
A malicious third person may intercept a radio wave deliberately to peep at communication details.
- Hacking
A malicious third person may attempt an unapproved access to the network to steal personal or
con dential information (secret leak), impersonate a speci c person to communicate and spread
invalid information (masquerading), change the intercepted communication details and transmit
them (manipulation) or unleash a computer virus, etc. to damage data or systems (destruction).
This product employs the WPA2-PSK (AES) encryption method for security to reduce these risks.

SA-A1WD is a wireless dock used to connect to the multi function measur-
ing system "RIONOTE" via wireless or wired LAN.
Various measurements available
Since a distant place can be measured using LAN, the utilization range
is widened. For example, it can be installed in a factory line using LAN.
Also, using wireless LAN transmits measurement data by radio wave
and eliminates the need of cables, resulting in simpler measurement. For
example, when you measure noise or vibration of a distant place, install
"SA-A1WD" in the measured place and install "RIONOTE" in an arbitrary
place. Then you need to just make a wireless connection between this
device and RIONOTE to perform measurement at the same time without
arranging a cable.
Multi-channel data transmission enabled
Since measurement can be performed by up to four amplifier units,
multi-channel data transmission becomes available.
Safely used for outdoor/long time measurement
This device conforms to the waterproof grade IP54 to offer safe use in
outdoor measurements and reduce unexpected troubles caused by a
sudden rain.
Also, this device employs AA batteries as power supply and power-saving
design to enable a long time operation. To be environmentally-friendly,
a nickel hydride rechargeable battery can be used to reduce battery dis-
posal. An external power supply can also be connected to extend mea-
surement time.
