SAFETY
FIRST
Please read all the safety notices before using this device.
This device is designed to be used at least 20 cm from
your body. Do not use the device near fuel or chemicals or
in any prescribed area such as service stations, refineries,
hospitals and aircraft. Obey all warning signs where posted.
RADIO FREQUENCY SAFETY INFORMATION
The device has an internal antenna. For optimum
performance with minimum power consumption do not shield
the device or cover with any object. Covering the antenna
affects signal quality, may cause the device to operate at a
higher power level than needed, and may shorten battery life.
RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY
Your wireless device is a low-power radio transmitter and
receiver. When switched on it intermittently transmits radio
frequency (RF) energy (radio waves). The transmit power
level is optimised for best performance and automatically
3 4

reduces when there is good quality reception. Maximum
power is only used at the edge of network coverage so under
most circumstances the power output is very low. Under poor
network conditions the device transmits at a higher power,
may get hot and have a significantly shorter battery life.
