• Do not use the Cordless Serial Adapter in a place with risk of strong
vibration.
• Do not use benzene or paint thinner to clean the Cordless Serial
Adapter.
Antenna Care and Efficient Use
Do not surround your Cordless Serial Adapter with metal since it will
reduce the radio transmission efficiency.
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 Cordless Serial Adapter will not affect
the electronic system in your vehicle.
Aircraft
• Turn off your Cordless Serial Adapter before boarding any aircraft.
• To prevent interference with communications systems, you must not use
your Cordless Serial Adapter while the plane is in the air.
• Do not use it on the ground without permission from the crew.
Radio Frequency Exposure
Your Cordless Serial Adapter is a radio transmitter and receiver. When in
operation, it communicates with a Bluetooth enabled computer, printer 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 Cordless Serial Adapter 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.
