5. RFID Operation(s)
RFID stands for “Radio Frequency Identification”. RFID is the most popular contactless
automatic identification technology in the world. It automatically identifies items and gets
their related data through radio frequency, the identification work does not require manual
interference.
RFID technology is able to identify moving items with fast speed and identify multiple
labels simultaneously; the operation is convenient and fast. NephSystem N320 ruggedized

9.4 About Static Discharging
Static discharging may interfere normal operation of electronic equipment. Your device
may go abnormal and lead to damage or loss of data. Please reset your device for
returning normal. In order to avoid data loss caused by static discharging or other
factors, it is suggested that you often save data and make backup regularly.
9.5 Certificate Information (SAR)
Certificate Information (SAR)
The mobile device with this model is in compliance with the national norm on wave
radiation.
Your mobile device is a transmitter and a receiver. Its design allows its limit value of
wave radiation within the international norms advised by ICNIRP. The norms are drawn
up by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP, including fixed safety factor and
ensure the safety of people at all ages and in any physical state.
The unit of measurement adopted for the radiation standard of mobile devices is called
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The limit value of SAR specified in ICNIRP norms is
2.0W/kg per 10g of physical organ on average. When measuring SAR, standard
operation position is adopted, meanwhile, transmit power of the device among all tested
frequency ranges is confirmed the highest level. In consideration of that this device is
designed the power range only for using connection network, the actual SAR of the
device will be lower than the maximum in the operation. The actual SAR will change
according to many factors, such as your distance to the network base station. The SAR
of the device when using aside the ears is 0.501W/kg, in accord with the request of
ICNIRP norms.
The spare parts of the device may lead to different SAR. SAR may differ due to different
reporting requirements, testing requirements and frequency ranges of network of
different countries or regions.
