Socket Mobile CompactFlash/SDIO Connection Kit with Bluetooth Wireless Technology Efficient Use

Efficient Use

For optimum performance, please make sure that there is no metal surrounding your Bluetooth Card.

Driving

RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles, such as car stereo, safety equipment, etc. Check with your vehicle manufacturer’s representative to be sure that your Bluetooth Card will not affect the electronic system in your vehicle.

Aircraft

•Turn off your Bluetooth Card antenna before boarding any aircraft.

•To prevent interference with communications systems, you must not use your Bluetooth Card while the plane is in the air.

•Do not use it on the ground without permission from the crew.

Radio Frequency Exposure

Your Bluetooth Card is a radio transmitter and receiver. When in operation, it communicates with a Bluetooth-equipped mobile phone, mobile computer or other device by receiving and transmitting radio frequency (RF) magnetic fields in the frequency range 2400 to 2500 MHz. The output power of the radio transmitter is 0.001 Watt.

The Bluetooth Card unit is designed to be in compliance with the RF exposure limits set by national authorities and international health agencies1 when installed or used separately from other antennas or radio transmitters.
