•Do not use the product near medical equipment without requesting permission from
your treating physician or authorised medical staff

two way radio".
•Do not use the product in an area where the potential explosive atmosphere exists.
Power Supply:
Connect the AC power supply adapter only to designated power sources.
Radio Frequency (RF) exposure and Specific Absorbsion Rate (SAR)
The CellFax is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When turned on it emits low levels
of radio frequency energy. Governments around the world have adopted international safety
guidelines. ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) and IEEE
(The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers) have developed guidelines to establish the
permitted levels of radio wave exposure for the general population. Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR) is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency absorbed by the body
when using a mobile phone. For GSM terminal equipment an MPE calculation is used to
determine the safe working distance from the Terminal during normal use. The values stated
are determined at the highest certified power levels in laboratory conditions. Actual radiated
levels during normal use may be well below this value. This is because the RF transmitter is
designed to work at minimum power where ever possible.
TelecomFM CellFax Plus meets the legal requirements of ICNIRP encompassed within the
following standards:
The CellFax Plus complies with European standards EN50383:2003, EN 50392:2002 and
EN50385:2002 and with Council Recomendation 1999/519/EC relating to human exposure to
RF energy. In accordance with these standards and in order to maintain safe levels of exposure
to RF Energy. The CellFax and its antenna, during use, must be placed at a distance greater
then 13.5 CM from the human body.
