RF Exposure Information
This PDA meets the government’s
requirement for exposure to radio waves.
This PDA is designed and manufactured not
to exceed the emission limits for exposure to
radio frequency (RF) energy set by the
Federal Communications Commission of the
U.S. Government. The exposure standard
for wireless devices employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set by
the FCC is 1.6W/Kg. Test for SAR are
conducted using standard operating
positions accepted by the FCC with the
device transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although SAR is determined at the highest
certified power level, the actual SAR level of
the device while operating can be well below
the maximum value. This is because the
PDA is designed to operate at multiple
power levels so as to use only the poser
required to reach the network.
In general, the closer user to a wireless base
station antenna, the lower the power output.
For body worn operation, this PDA has been
tested and meets the FCC RF exposure
guidelines for use with an accessory that
contains no metal and the positions of the
handset minimum of 1.5 cm from the body.
User of other enhancements may not ensure
compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines. If user do not use a body-worn
accessory and are not holding the PDA at
the ear, position the handset a minimum of
1.5 cm from your body when the device is
switched on.
Electrostatic Discharge
Caution:
Please follow proper
electrostatic discharge
precaution to prevent static
damage that can harm
electronic components inside
your device.
Driving
Using mobile device or
accessories while driving may
cause distraction and can be
illegal in some areas where
you drive. Please obey the
laws and regulations on the
use of mobile device
Handling and Maintenance
Follow and adhere to all warnings and
instructions in this manual. For the longevity
of the product usage, please read all
operating instructions before using the
product. Keep this manual for future
reference.
General Guideline
Guide Général
Keep the product at least 13 cm (5 inches)
away from electrical appliances that can
generate a strong magnetic field such as
TV, refrigerator, motor, or a large audio
speaker.
Garder le produit au moins à 13 cm (5
pouces) de distance des appareils
électriques qui peuvent générer un fort
champ magnétique comme une télévision,
