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 INFORMATIONThe 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 router to operate at a higher power level than needed, and may shorten battery life.

RAdIO FREQUENCY ENERGYYour 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 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.

dECLARATION OF CONFORMITY – SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR) The wireless device is designed to be used at least 20 cm from the body. We declare that the product detailed in this manual, and in combination with our accessories, conform with the essential requirements of The Radio
