Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure Information
The radiated output power of the Wireless Device is below
the Industry Canada (IC) radio frequency exposure limits. The
Wireless Device should be used in such a manner such that
the potential for human contact during normal operation is
minimized.
This device has been evaluated for and shown compliant with
the IC Specific Absorption Rate (“SAR”) limits when installed in
specific host products operated in portable exposure
conditions.
Informations concernant l'exposition aux fréquences radio
(RF)
La puissance de sortie émise par l’appareil de sans fil est
inférieure à la limite d'exposition aux fréquences radio
d'Industry Canada (IC). Utilisez l’appareil de sans fil de façon à

limites SAR (Specific Absorption Rate – Taux d'absorption
spécifique) d'IC lorsqu'il est installé dans des produits hôtes
particuliers qui fonctionnent dans des conditions d'exposition
à des appareils portables.
The device could automatically discontinue transmission in
case of absence of information to transmit, or operational
failure. Note that this is not intended to prohibit transmission
of control or signaling information or the use of repetitive
codes where required by the technology.
The device for the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor
usage to reduce potential for harmful interference to cochannel mobile satellite systems; the maximum antenna gain
permitted (for devices in the bands 5250-5350 MHz and
5470-5725 MHz) to comply with the e.i.r.p. limit; and The
maximum antenna gain permitted (for devices in the band
5725-5850 MHz) to comply with the e.i.r.p. limits specified for
point-to-point and non-point-to-point operation as
appropriate, as stated in section A9.2(3). In addition, Highpower radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they
have priority) of the band 5250-5350 MHz and this radar
could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.
U.S.
FCC ID: S9E-EM7455/ S9E-7265NGW
FCC Compliance Statement
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. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
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
communication. 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:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and the
receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
Changes and modifications not expressly approved by the
manufacturer or registrant of this equipment can void your
authority to operate this equipment under Federal
Communications Commission rules.
The radios in this device have been designed and
manufactured to not exceed stipulated emission limits for
exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy as required by the
Federal Communications Commission of the U.S.
Government 47 C.F.R. § 2.1091 and 2.1093.
Operation on the 5.15-5.25GHz frequency band is restricted
to indoor use only. The FCC requires indoor use for the 5.15-
5.25GHz band to reduce the potential for harmful
interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite Systems.
Therefore, it will only transmit on the 5.25-5.35 GHz, 5.47-
5.725 GHz and 5.725 –5.850 GHz band when associated with
an access point (AP).

from (1) accident, misuse, abuse, or misapplication; (2)
alteration or modification of the Software without Trimble’s
authorization; (3) interaction with software or hardware not
supplied or supported by Trimble; (4) your improper,
inadequate or unauthorized installation, maintenance or
storage; or (5) if you violate the terms of this EULA. Any
replacement Software will be warranted for the remainder of
the original warranty period or thirty (30) days, whichever is
longer.
1.4 NO OTHER WARRANTIES. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TRIMBLE AND ITS
SUPPLIERS DISCLAIM ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, TERMS AND
CONDITIONS, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY STATUTE,
COMMON LAW OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES, TERMS AND
CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A

Telecommunications & Internet Association (TIA)
Hearing Aids: Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the
event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider, or call the
customer service line to discuss alternatives.
Pacemakers and Other Medical Devices: The Health Industry Manufacturers Association
recommends a minimum separation of six inches be maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers should use
the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference. If you have any
reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn the phone OFF immediately.
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to
determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be
able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn the phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could
be sensitive to external RF energy.

to the head or torso. For safe operation, carry the device in your hand with the antennas
located at least 20 cm (~8 inches) from the head or torso.
Caring for your device
Cleaning
Turn off the device, and disconnect it from external power. Use a soft, dampened cloth
with either water or a diluted mild detergent. If a mild detergent is used, ensure all soap
residue is removed. Do not use chemical cleaners.
Touchscreen care
The Nomad 5 handheld is extremely rugged, and is designed to withstand extreme
conditions and harsh treatment, however taking proper care of the touchscreen will
prolong the life and ensure optimal display performance of the touchscreen of this
product. Excessive or prolonged exposure to abrasives, oil, dust, chemicals, and ultraviolet
light can affect the performance of your touchscreen over time.
To help protect the screen:
l Clean it frequently. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the screen. You can dampen the
cloth with water or an eyeglass cleaner. If the display is very dirty, it can be washed off
under a gently running tap.
WARNING – Make sure that all ports and doors are fully closed, and that the
device is not connected to an external power supply. Do not use chemical or
abrasive cleaners.
l Keep it covered when not in use. Store the Nomad 5 handheld in a carry case or pouch
while you are in transit or not using it.
l Keep it out of the sun when not in use. Do not store the Nomad 5 handheld in direct
sunlight for a long time unnecessarily. Ultraviolet light and excessive heat from sunloading heat can damage the display.
l Use proper touchscreen tools. Use either fingers or the Nomad 5 handheld's stylus, or
other devices specifically designed for use with capacitive touchscreens to operate the
touchscreen of this device. The use of ballpoint pens, metal tools or other sharp
objects to operate the touchscreen may scratch and/or damage the surface of the
touchscreen.
l Avoid drops, tumbles, and abrasives. The Nomad 5 handheld is designed to resist
damage for drops up to 180 cm (6 feet). However, you should protect the display from
impact, pressure, and abrasive substances that can scratch it or crack it. The device

Safety information
should not be dropped unnecessarily. Use the screen protectors to keep the
touchscreen clean and protected, following the instructions provided on the screen
protector packaging.
Battery care
Use and storage temperature: Lithium-ion batteries are sensitive to high temperatures, so
keep the device's batteries out of direct sun for long periods, and do not leave batteries in
a hot car, especially on a dashboard in full sun or other environments where temperatures
can exceed +70 °C (+158 °F) Battery life can be shortened if stored or operated outside of
these temperature ranges. Recommended storage temperature is at room temperature
(~ +20 °C / +68 °F). When you are using the device or charging the batteries, it is normal for
the device and batteries to get warm.
If the interior temperature of the device exceeds normal operating temperatures (for
example, in a hot car or in direct sunlight for extended periods of time), you may
experience the following as it attempts to regulate its temperature automatically:
l The device stops charging.
l If the device cannot regulate its internal temperature, it may go into a Sleep state until it
cools.
Move the device to a cooler location out of direct sunlight and wait a few minutes before
trying to use the device again.
Charging: Recharge the battery any time; the battery does not need to be empty or low
before you recharge it. However, it is best to let the battery run to below 10 percent at least
once a month before you recharge it. Battery recharging is supported at temperatures
between 0 °C and +45 °C (+32 °F and +113 °F). Use only the manufacturer designated
charging accessories to recharge the batteries.
Other environmental conditions: The batteries are sealed from water and dust, and are
tested for protection from drops from heights up to 122 cm (4 feet). However to prolong
the life of the battery, dry it off with a cloth if it becomes wet, do not intentionally submerge
the battery, and take care to avoid unnecessary drops, mechanical shocks, and vibrations.
The Nomad 5 handheld is designed to work in ambient temperatures between -30 °C and
+60 °C (-22 °F and +140 °F) and to be stored in temperatures between -40 °C and +70 °C (40 °F and +148 °F). Avoid exposing the device to dramatic changes in temperature or
humidity.
