is/are approved for use in the following countries: United States, Canada and Mexico.
Country Selection - Worldwide Version Only
Select only the country in which you are using the device. Any other selection will make the
operation of this device illegal.
Frequency of Operation - FCC
The range of channels is limited by firmware.
Radio Frequency Interference Requirements
Note: 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. These limits are designed to provide
FOR HOME OR OFFICE USE
reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. 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 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.
Radio Transmitters (Part 15)
This device complies with 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.
Tested to comply
with FCC Standards
Radio Frequency Interference Requirements – Canada
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

Warnings for Use of Wireless Devices
Please observe all warning notices with regard to the usage of wireless devices.
Potentially Hazardous Atmospheres
You are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio devices in fuel depots, chemical
plants etc. and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders).
Safety in Hospitals
Wireless devices transmit radio frequency energy and may affect medical electrical equipment. Wireless
devices should be switched off wherever you are requested to do so in hospitals, clinics or healthcare
facilitlies. These requests are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical equipment.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommended that a minimum of 15cm (6 inches) be maintained between a
handheld wireless device and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recom-
mendations are consistent with independent research and recommendations by Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with Pacemakers:
• Should ALWAYS keep the device more than 15cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker when turned ON.
• Should not carry the device in a breast pocket.
• Should use the ear furthest from the pacemaker to minimise the potential for interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn OFF your device.
Other Medical Devices
Please consult your physician or the manufacturer of the medical device, to determine if the operation of your
wireless product may interfere with the medical device.
RF Exposure Guidelines
Safety Information
Reducing RF Exposure – Use Properly
Only operate the device in accordance with the instructions supplied.
Handheld Devices
To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, this device must be operated in the hand with a minimum
separation distance of 23cm or more from a person’s body. Other operating configurations should be avoided.
Laser Devices
Complies with 21CFR1040.10 and 1040.11 except for deviations pursuant to
Laser Notice No. 50, dated June 24, 2007.
EN60825-1: 2007
IEC60825-1 (Ed 2.0)
The laser classification is marked on one of the labels on the device.
Class 2 laser scanners use a low power, visible light diode. As with any very bright light source, such as the
sun, the user should avoid staring directly into the light beam. Momentary exposure to a Class 2 laser is not
known to be harmful.
Caution
