Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury
or even death from electrical shock, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions
include, but are not limited to, the follows:
1. Read and understand all the instructions.
2. Always follow the instructions on the instrument.
3. Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the outlet as
well as the USB cable. When cleaning, use a soft and dry cloth. Do not use gasoline,
alcohol, acetone, turps or any other organic solutions; do not use liquid cleaner, spray
cleaner or too wet cloth.
4. Do not use the instrument near water or moisture, such as bathtub, washbasin,
washing poor in the kitchen or similar places.
5. Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall
over.
6. Do not jam sinks or holes of the instrument; those sinks of holes are used for air
circulation to prevent the instrument from overheating. Do not place the instrument
near heat sink or any places with poor air circulation.
7. Do not place anything on the power cord. Make sure the power cord is set on a safe
place, so nobody will step on it and no body will trip over it.
8. Do not overload the outlet and the AC cable to avoid fire or electrical shock.
9. Do not insert anything in the instrument, which may cause fire or electrical shock. Do
not splash any kind of liquid to the instrument.
10. Do not disassemble the instrument in case of accidental electrical shock.
11. Always take the instrument to a qualified service center in need of repair. You will
cause yourself in danger if you open or remove the cover, and improper assembly
may cause electrical shock in the future use.
12. Unplug all the connectors and take the instrument to a qualified service center if
anything in the below listed happens:
A. The power cord or connector get hurt or worn out.
B. Any liquid get in the instrument.
C. The instrument gets rain or water splash.
D. The instrument does not work properly after following all the instructions

Efficient Use
For optimum performance with minimum power consumption, note the following:
The product has an internal antenna. Do not cover part of the internal antenna of
the product with your hands. This affects communication quality, may cause the
product to operate at a higher power level than needed and may shorten
communication and standby times.
Radio Frequency Energy
The product is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is turned on, it
intermittently receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy (radio waves).
The system that handles the communication controls the power level at which
the
product transmits.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
The product is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to RF energy set
by national authorities and international health agencies. * These limits are part
of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of radio wave
exposure for the general population. The guidelines were developed by
independent scientific organizations such as ICNIRP (International Commission
on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) through periodic and thorough evaluation
of scientific studies. The limits include a substantial safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health, and to account
for any variations in measurements.*Examples of radio frequency exposure
