Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive

2002/96/EC

This Product, and its accessories, comply with the requirements of the Waste Electri­cal and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC. If your end-of-life

Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive 2002/95/EC

What is RoHS?

The European Union has mandated that high environmental standards be met in the
design and manufacture of electronic and electrical products sold in Europe, to reduce
hazardous substances from entering the environment. The “Restriction on Hazardous
Substances Directive (RoHS)” prescribes the maximum trace levels of lead, cad-

mium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, and flame retardants PBB and PBDE that
may be contained in a product. Only products meeting these high environmental
standards may be “placed on the market” in EU member states after July 1, 2006.

RoHS Logo

Although there is no legal requirement to mark RoHS-compliant products, Psion
Teklogix Inc. indicates its compliance with the directive as follows:

The RoHS logo located either on the back of the product or underneath the battery in
the battery compartment (or on a related accessory such as the charger or docking
station) signifies that the product is RoHS-compliant as per the EU directive. Other
than as noted below, a Psion Teklogix product that does not have an accompanying
RoHS logo signifies that it was placed on the EU market prior to July 1, 2006, and is
thereby exempt from the directive.

Note: Not all accessories or peripherals will have a RoHS logo due to physical

space limitations or as a result of their exempt status.

Disclaimer

Every effort has been made to make this material complete, accurate, and up-to­date. In addition, changes are periodically added to the information herein; these
changes will be incorporated into new editions of the publication.

Psion Teklogix Inc. reserves the right to make improvements and/or changes in the

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:

This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.

Some equipment in hospitals and aircraft are not shielded from radio frequency
energy. Do not use the 8525 G2/8530 G2 onboard aircraft, or in hospitals, without
first obtaining permission.

Do not use near pacemakers. The product may affect the operation of some
medically implanted devices such as pacemakers, causing them to malfunction.
Avoid placing your product next to such devices. Keep a minimum distance of 20
cm between the device and the product to reduce the risk of interference. If you have

Note: In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the

US adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio fre­quency energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. The design of this
product complies with the FCC guidelines and those standards. To main­tain compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines, ensure the
antenna is at least 20 cm from your body when transmitting.
