RF Exposure Information (SAR)

This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves. This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. The exposure standard employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the EUT transmitting at the specified power level in different channels. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid To ensure that RF exposure levels remain at or below the tested levels, use a beltclip, holster, or similar accessory that have no metallic component in the assembly.

Safety Instructions

Use the following safety guidelines to help protect yourself and PWS-872  Do not attempt to service the PWS-872 yourself. Always follow installation

instructions closely.

 Be sure that nothing rests on the AC adapter's power cable and that the cable is

not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.

 Do not cover the AC adaptor with papers or other items that will reduce cooling;

also, do not use the AC adapter while it is inside a carrying case.

 Use only the AC adapter, power cord, and batteries that are approved for use

with this PWS-872. Use of another type of battery or AC adapter may cause risk of fire or explosion.

 If you use an extension cable with the AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere

rating of the products plugged in to the extension cable does not exceed the ampere rating of the extension cable.

 When you move the PWS-872 between environments with very different

temperature and/ore humidity ranges, condensation may form on or within the PWS-872. To avoid damaging the PWS-872, allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate before using the PWS-872.

 When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain relief loop,

not on the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.

 This T ransmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other

antenna or transmitter.

 This EUT is compliance with SAR for general population/uncontrolled exposure

limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1999 and had been tested in accordance with the measurement method s and procedures speci fied in OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 1.3cm between the radiator & your body.

Battery Safety

RTC Battery Caution

RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.

 Do not place the battery incorrectly as this may cause danger of explosion.  Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.  Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local

authorities for disposal instructions.

Battery Pack Caution

 The battery used in this device may present a risk of fire or chemical burn if

mistreated. Do not disassemble, heat above 50°C, or incinerate. Replace internal battery with Li-ion 14.4V 2370mAh and Cell SANYO only. Use of another battery may present a risk of fire or explosion.

 Dispose of used batteries according to local disposal regulations. Keep away

from children. Do not disassemble and do not dispose of in a fire.

Battery Charge Notice

It is important to consider the environment temperature whenever you are charging the Lithium-Ion battery pack. The process is more efficient at normal room temperature or slightly cooler. It is essential that you charge batteries within the stated range of 0°C to 40°C. Charging batteries outside of the specified range could damage the batteries and shorten their charging life cycle.

Storage and Safety Notice

Although charge Lithium-Ion batteries may be left unused for several months, their capacity may be depleted due to the build up of internal resistance. If this happens they will require recharging prior to use. Lithium-Ion batteries may be stored at temperatures between -20°C to 60°C, however they may be depleted more rapidly at the high end of this range. It is recommended to store batteries within normal room temperature ranges.
