Antenna Care
Do not place a metallic shield around the Bluetooth Cordless Hand Scanner since it
will reduce the radio transmission efficiency.
Efficient Use
For optimum performance, please make sure that there is no metal surrounding
your Bluetooth 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
Bluetooth Cordless Hand Scanner will not affect the vehicle’s electronics.
Aircraft
• Turn off your Bluetooth Cordless Hand Scanner before boarding any aircraft.
• To prevent interference with communications systems, you must not use your
Bluetooth 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 Bluetooth 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 2483.5 MHz. The output power of the radio transmitter is 15.75 mW.
The Bluetooth Cordless Hand Scanner is designed to be in compliance with the RF
exposure limits set by national authorities and international health agencies
1 when
installed or used separately from other antennas or radio transmitters.
