Safety and Usage Tips

About Bluetooth and Health

Bluetooth wireless technology allows you to use short-range radio signals to connect a variety of devices, such as mobile phones, Pocket PCs, notebook computers, printers, LAN access points, and many other devices at home or work. These radio signals replace the cables that have traditionally connected these devices.

Bluetooth enabled products have small radio transmitters and receivers. Output power is normally very low, only 1 mW (1/1000 of a watt). This gives a working range of approximately 10 meters.

The maximum exposure levels from Bluetooth enabled products are far below recommended safety guidelines. At most, typical Bluetooth enabled devices (1mW) reach only one percent of the prescribed safety levels.

Product Care

• Do not expose your product to liquid, moisture or extreme humidity.

• Do not expose your product to extreme high or low temperatures.

• Do not expose your product to lit candles, cigarettes, or cigars, or to

open flames, etc.

• Do not drop, throw or try to bend the product, as rough treatment could

damage it.

• Do not paint your product, as the paint could obstruct parts and prevent

normal use.

• Do not attempt to disassemble your product: a broken warranty seal will

void the warranty. The product does not contain consumer serviceable components. Should your Socket card need service, please contact Socket technical support at:

• Treat your product with care. Keep in a clean and dust-free place.

• Changes or modifications of this product, not expressly approved by

Socket, may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Antenna Care

Do not place a metallic shield around your Socket card since it will reduce the radio transmission efficiency.

APPENDIX A: SPECIFICATIONS 71

support@socketcom.com.

Page 72

Efficient Use

For optimum performance, please make sure that there is no metal surrounding your Socket card.

Driving

RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles, such as car stereo, safety equipment, etc. Check with your vehicle manufacturer’s representative to be sure that your Socket card will not affect the electro nic system in your vehicle.

Aircraft

• Turn off your card antenna before boarding any aircraft.

• To prevent interference with communications systems, you must not use

your Socket card while the plane is in the air.

• Do not use it on the ground without permission from the crew.

Radio Frequency Exposure

Your Socket card is a radio transmitter and receiver. When in operation, it communicates with a Bluetoothequipped mobile phone, mobile computer or other device by receiving and transmitting radio frequency (RF) magnetic fields in the frequency range 2400 to 2500 MHz. The output power of the radio transmitter is 0.001 Watt.

The Socket card unit is designed to be in compliance with the RF exposure limits set by national authorities and international health agencies

when

installed or used separately from other antennas or radio transmitters.

Examples of RF exposure standards and guidelines:

ICNIRP, “Guidelines for limiting exposure to time-varying electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields (up to 300 GHz)”, International Commission on NonIonizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), Health Physics, vol. 74, pp 494-533, April

1998.
