EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY RADIATION
The radiated output power of this internal wireless radio is
far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the wireless radio shall be used as described in
the manual.
The internal wireless radio operates within guidelines
found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, which reflect the consensus of the scientific
community.
Plantronics therefore believes the internal wireless radio
is safe for use by consumers. The level of energy emitted is
far less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices such as mobile phones. However, the use of
wireless radios may be restricted in some situations or environments, such as aboard airplanes. If you are unsure
of restrictions, you are encouraged to ask for authorization
before turning on the wireless radio.
SAFETY
Check local laws regarding use of a mobile
phone and headset while driving.
If you use the product while driving ensure your
attention and focus remains on your responsibility
of driving safely.
CHILDREN. Never allow children to play with
the headset/adapter — small parts may be a
choking hazard.
Batteries can be swallowed by children and
are dangerous if swallowed. Always store
and dispose of batteries where children can’t
reach them.
Observe all signs that require an electrical device
or RF radio product to be switched off in designated areas. These could include hospitals, blasting areas, and potentially explosive atmospheres.
Turn off your headset/adapter prior to boarding
an aircraft. Do not use your headset in an aircraft.
Never mount or store your headset/adapter over
any air bag deployment area as serious injury
may result when an air bag deploys.
