SAFETY FIRST
Please read all the safety notices before using this device. This device
is designed to be used at least 5 mm from your body. Do not use the
device near fuel or chemicals or in any areas such as service stations,
refineries, hospitals, or aircraft. Obey all warning signs where posted.
Radio frequency safety information. The device includes an internal
antenna. For optimum performance with minimum power consumption,
do not shield the device or cover it with any object. Covering the antenna
affects signal quality, might cause the router to operate at a higher power
level than needed, and might shorten battery life.
Radio frequency energy. Your 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 is automatically reduced when there is good
quality reception. Maximum power is used only 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, and
might get hot, and battery life might be significantly shorter.
Declaration of conformity – specific absorption rate (SAR). Your device
is designed to be used at least 5 mm from the body. We declare that the
product detailed in this manual, and in combination with our accessories,
conforms with the essential requirements of the Radio Communications
Standard (Electromagnetic IC Radiation Human Exposure) 2003 and
the Australian Communications and Media Authority Section 376 of the
Telecommunications Act 1997 when used at a distance of not less than 5
mm from the body.
