Efficient Use
For optimum performance, please make sure that there is no metal
surrounding your Cordless Hand Scanner.
Driving
RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles, such as
car stereo, safety equipment, etc. Check with your vehicle manufacturer to
be sure that the Cordless Hand Scanner will not affect the vehicle’s
electronics.
Aircraft
• Turn off your Cordless Hand Scanner before boarding any aircraft.
• To prevent interference with communications systems, you must not use
your Cordless Hand Scanner while the plane is in the air.
• Do not use it on the ground without permission from the crew.
Radio Frequency Exposure
Your Cordless Hand Scanner contains a radio transmitter and receiver.
When in operation, it communicates with a Bluetooth enabled mobile
computer 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 Cordless Hand Scanner 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.
