64 | APPENDIX B: SAFETY AND USAGE TIPS
Efficient Use
For optimum performance, please make sure that there is no metal
surrounding your Bluetooth Card.
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 Bluetooth Card will not affect the
electronic system in your vehicle.
Aircraft
• Turn off your Bluetooth Card antenna before boarding any aircraft.
• To prevent interference with communications systems, you must not use
your Bluetooth Card while the plane is in the air.
• Do not use it on the ground without permission from the crew.
Radio Frequency Exposure
Your Bluetooth Card is a radio transmitter and receiver. When in operation,
it communicates with a Bluetooth-equipped mobile phone, mobile computer
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 Bluetooth Card unit 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.
