SAFETY FIRST

Please read all the safety notices before using this device. This device is designed to be used at least 5 mm from your body. Do not use the device near fuel or chemicals or in any areas such as service stations, reﬁneries, hospitals, or aircraft. Obey all warning signs where posted.

Radio frequency safety information. The device includes an internal antenna. For

optimum performance with minimum power consumption, do not shield the device or cover it with any object. Covering the antenna affects signal quality, might cause the router to operate at a higher power level than needed, and might shorten battery life.

Radio frequency energy. Your wireless device is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When switched on, it intermittently transmits radio frequency (RF) energy (radio waves). The transmit power level is optimised for best performance and is automatically reduced when there is good quality reception. Maximum power is used only at the edge of network coverage so under most circumstances the power output is very low. Under poor network conditions the device transmits at a higher power,

and might get hot, and battery life might be signicantly shorter.

Declaration of conformity – speciﬁc absorption rate (SAR). Your device is designed to be used at least 5 mm from the body. We declare that the product detailed in this manual, and in combination with our accessories, conforms with the essential requirements of the Radio Communications Standard (Electromagnetic IC Radiation Human Exposure) 2003 and the Australian Communications and Media Authority Section 376 of the Telecommunications Act 1997 when used at a distance of not less than 5 mm from the body.
