Product name: PocketBook InkPad

Model number: PocketBook 840

The EUT should be supplied by USB port from complied Limited

Power Source of personal computer or notebook.

The EUT should be supplied by Adapter from complied Limited

Power Source.

Rated output voltage: DC 5V 1A.

This equipment is marked with the 0678 symbol and can be used

throughout the European community.

This indicates compliance with the R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC.

France – 2.4GHz for Metropolitan France.

Compliance with International Standards 96

In all Metropolitan departments, wireless LAN frequencies can be

used under the following conditions, either for public or private use:

• Indoor use: maximum power (EIRP*) of 100 mW for the

entire 2400-2483.5 MHz frequency band;

• Outdoor use: maximum power (EIRP*) of 100 mW for the

2400-2454 MHz band and with maximum power (EIRP*) of 10

mW for the 2454-2483 MHz band.

IMPORTANT: Changes or modifications to this product not authorized could

void the EMC and wireless compliance and negate your authority to operate the

product. This product has demonstrated EMC compliance under conditions that

included the use of compliant peripheral devices and shielded cables between

system components. It is important that you use compliant peripheral devices

and shielded cables between system components to reduce the possibility of

causing interference to radios, televisions, and other electronic devices.

Certification information (SAR)

The device meets guidelines for exposure to radio waves.

Compliance with International Standards 97

Your device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not

to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended

by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by

the independent scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety

margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regard-

less of age and health.

The exposure guidelines for devices employ a unit of measure-

ment known as the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit

stated in the ICNIRP guidelines is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) aver-

aged over 10 grams of tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using

standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its

highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The

actual SAR level of an operating device can be below the maxi-

mum value because the device is designed to use only the power

required to reach the network.
