There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

Industry Canada Statement This device complies with Industry Canada ICES-003 and RSS210 rules.

Déclaration d’Industrie Canada Cet appareil est conforme aux normes NMB003 et RSS210 d'Industrie Canada.

Industry Canada Statement

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause interference and

2. This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of 2dBi. Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.

Appendix C: Regulatory Information

Compliance Information

To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the EIRP is not more than required for successful communication.

3. Industry Canada Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Avis d'Industrie Canada

L'utilisation de ce dispositif est autorisée seulement aux conditions suivantes :

1. il ne doit pas produire de brouillage et

2. il doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique reçu, même si ce brouillage est susceptible de compromettre le fonctionnement du dispositif. Le dispositif a été conçu pour fonctionner avec une antenne ayant un gain maximum de 2 dBi. Les règlements d'Industrie Canada interdisent strictement l'utilisation d'antennes dont le gain est supérieur à cette limite. L'impédance requise de l'antenne est de 50 ohms. Afin de réduire le risque d'interférence aux autres utilisateurs, le type d'antenne et son gain doivent être choisis de façon à ce que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne soit pas supérieure au niveau requis pour obtenir une communication satisfaisante.

Avis d'Industrie Canada concernant l'exposition aux radiofréquences : Ce matériel est conforme aux limites établies par IC en matière d'exposition aux radiofréquences dans un environnement non contrôlé. Ce matériel doit être installé et utilisé à une distance d'au moins 20 cm entre l'antenne et le corps de l'utilisateur. L'émetteur ne doit pas être placé près d'une autre antenne ou d'un autre émetteur, ou fonctionner avec une autre antenne ou un autre émetteur.

RF Radiation Exposure

To maintain compliance with the FCC's RF exposure guidelines, the internal antennas used for this mobile transmitter (USB base station) must provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons.

Base and handset must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

The handset has been evaluated and found to comply with the applicable RF exposure regulations in accordance with FCC CFR 47 Part 2., 1093 and 15.247 (b) (4) addressing RF exposure from radio frequency devices.

The base station and handset have been evaluated and found compliant in accordance with Industry Canada RSS-102 with respect to Canada’s Health Code 6 for Exposure of Humans to RF Fields.

The highest SAR level measured for this phone is as follows:

Max. Head SAR - 0.153 W/kg

Max. Body SAR - 0.172 W/kg

The recommended limits are based on recommendations from the World Health Organizations (WHO) International Committee on Non Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).

The Maximum allowable SAR as recommended by the ICNIRP limits is 2.0 W/kg based on 10 grams of tissue. However in the US, the recommended FCC limit is 1.6 W/kg based on 1 gram of tissue.

This phone has been tested and found compliant with the belt clip provided with the product. The use of other type accessories not provided with the product may not ensure compliance to the recommended RF exposure standards.

Additional information on SAR and RF Exposure can be obtained off the FCC website at www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety

Appendix C: Regulatory Information Compliance Information

Wireless-G Phone for Skype

There is no conclusive proof that these mobile phones are a health risk. The FDA and numerous researchers are continuing studies of RF radiation and health issues. Additional information on this subject can be obtained from the FDA web site at www.fda.gov.

There are several suggested methods to reduce exposure for the user. Among those include the following:

1. Using a hands-free handset to increase the distance between the antenna and the head of the user,

2. Orienting the antenna away from the user.

Additional information can be obtained from the following documentation:

• Cisco white paper on RF exposure

• FCC Bulletin 56: Questions and Answers about Biological Effects and Potential Hazards of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields

Additional information can also be obtained from the following organizations as well as from the Cisco white paper on the subject:

Noise

Electrical pulse noise is present at one time or another. This is most intense during electrical storms. Certain kinds of electrical equipment, such as light dimmers, fluorescent bulbs, motors, fans, etc., also generate pulse noise. Because radio frequencies are susceptible to this, you may on occasion hear pulse noise through the USB base station. This is usually only a minor annoyance and should not be interpreted as a defect of the unit.

This telephone is not designed for making emergency telephone calls when the power fails. Make alternative arrangements for access to emergency services.
