FCC Notice

● This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.

● This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

● However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Adjust or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the distance between the

equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment to an outlet on

a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult your dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help.

• Only the OLYMPUS supplied USB cable should be used to connect the equipment to USB enabled personal computers (PC).

Any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment would void the user’s authority to operate it. DS-F1 is equipped with WLAN device with IC and FCC ID:

– FCC ID: YSKA01, – IC: 4763EA01

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 absolutely safe. Low power Wireless 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. DS-F1 has been tested and found to comply with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. SAR testing has been done at a distance of 0 cm from the body and the head.
