FCC REQUIREMENTS PART 15
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1.This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2.This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential instal- lation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception which can be deter- mined by turning the radio or television off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct interference by one or more of the following measures:
1.Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2.Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
3.Connect the equipment into an outlet on another circuit.
4.Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation
This device and its antenna must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. To com- ply with FCC RF exposure requirements, use only the supplied antenna.
The radiated output power of this internal wireless radio is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the wireless radio shall be used as described in the manual.
The internal wireless radio operates within guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, which reflect the consensus of the scientific community.
Plantronics therefore believes the internal wireless radio is safe for use by consumers. The level of energy emitted is far less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices such as mobile phones. However, the use of wireless radios may be restricted in some situations or environments, such as aboard airplanes. If you are unsure of restrictions, you are encouraged to ask for authorization before turning on the wireless radio.
NOTE: Modifications not expressly approved by Plantronics, Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
