GY-HC550U Radio Frequency Energy Safety Information

Warning

This JVC camera generates RF EME while transmitting. RF & Magnetic Energy) has the potential to cause slight thermal, or heating effects to any part of your body less than the recommended distance from this radio transmitter’s antenna. RF energy exposure is determined primarily by the distance to and the power of the transmitting device. In general, RF exposure is minimized when the lowest possible power is used or transmission time is kept to the minimum required for consistent communications, and the greatest distance possible from the antenna to the body is maintained.

The following list provides you with the information required to ensure that you are aware of RF exposure.

While transmitting, always keep the antenna and the radio at least 5 cm (1-31/32”) from your body or face, as well as from any bystanders.

To maintain compliance with FCC's RF exposure guidelines, use only the supplied antenna (with antenna holder). Unauthrized antenna, modification, or attachments could damage the transmitter and may violate FCC regulations.

Electromagnetic Interference Compatibility

Electronic devices are susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if they are not adequately shielded or designed for electromagnetic compatibility. Because this product generates RF energy, it can cause interference to such equipment.

Turn OFF do so. Hospitals and health care facilities use equipment that is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation.

Turn OFF your product while on board an aircraft when so instructed. Use of the product must be in accordance with airline regulations and/or crew instructions.

This device may not cause interference.

This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. The RF module, W8997-M1216 has been tested and found to comply with FCC/ISED radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines and RSS-102 of the ISED radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.
