when using your device under the following conditions.
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area, and always
switch off your device when its use is prohibited or when it may cause
interference or danger. Use the device only in its normal operating positions.
This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used normally. To
successfully transmit data files or messages, this device requires a good
quality connection to the network. In some cases, transmission of data files or
messages may be delayed until such a connection is available. Parts of the
device are magnetic. Metallic materials may be attracted to the device, and
persons with hearing aids should not hold the device to the ear with the
hearing aid. Do not place credit cards or other magnetic storage media near
the device, because information stored on them may be erased.

Aircraft
Warning FCC and FAA regulations may prohibit airborne operation of radio-
frequency wireless devices (wireless adapters) because their signals could
interfere with critical aircraft instruments. Ask the airport staff and cabin crew
before turning on your device’s wireless adapter whilst on board.
The wireless adapter and your health
The wireless adapter, like other radio devices, emits radio frequency
electromagnetic energy. The level of energy emitted by the wireless adapter,
however, is less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by other wireless
devices such as mobile phones. The wireless adapter operates within the
guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations.
These standards and recommendations reflect the consensus of the scientific
community and result from deliberations of panels and committees of
scientists who continually review and interpret the extensive research
literature. In some situations or environments, the use of the wireless adapter
may be restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible
representatives of the applicable organization. Examples of such situations
may include:
• Using the wireless adapter on board airplanes, or
• Using the wireless adapter in any other environment where the risk of
interference with other devices or services is perceived or identified as being
harmful.
If you are uncertain of the policy that applies to the use of wireless adapters
in a specific organization or environment (an airport, for example), you are
encouraged to ask for authorization to use the adapter before you turn it on.
14.11 EU Regulatory Conformance
List of applicable countries
This product must be used in strict accordance with the regulations and
constraints in the country of use. For further information, contact the local
office in the country of use. Please see https://europa.eu/ european-
union/about-eu/countries_en for the latest country list.
Specific absorption rate information
This device meets the EU requirements on the limitation of exposure of the
general public to electromagnetic fields by way of health protection. The limits
are part of extensive recommendations for the protection of the general
public. These recommendations have been developed and checked by
independent scientific organizations through regular and thorough evaluations
of scientific studies. The unit of measurement for the European Council's
recommended limit for mobile devices is the "Specific Absorption Rate" (SAR),
and the SAR limit is 2.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of body tissue. The
MPE was calculated at 20 CM to show compliance with the power density
limit. It meets the requirements of the International Commission on Non-
Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). For body worn operation, this device
has been tested and meets the ICNIRP exposure guidelines and the European
Standard, for use with dedicated accessories. Use of other accessories which
contain metals may not ensure compliance with ICNIRP exposure guidelines.
