Ekahau declares that Ekahau Sidekick™ is in conformity with the essential requirements
and other relevant requirements of the Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU.
Manufacturer Declaration of Conformity is available at www.ekahau.com/support.
The product with included parts meets the requirements of Directive 2011/65/EU on the restrictions of
the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. The product contains
RF transmitter on 2400-2480 MHz with maximum radiated power less than 10.0 dBm (e.i.r.p).
Use of this radio equipment is not allowed in the geographical area within a radius of 20 km from the
centre of Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard, Norway.
The device can be switched on in a special way so that it will fall back to factory settings and load the
factory provided version of the rmware. This might be benecial in case of some trouble e.g device
refusing to start due to failure with upgrading to the newer rmware. When the device is started in
factory mode, it permanently erases the recent upgraded rmware and resets to use the original rm-
ware version. As an indication of this special mode, the status indicator is blinking orange. To continue
the use of Ekahau applications you will likely need to upgrade the rmware again using your Ekahau
application, such as Ekahau Site Survey.
To boot up in the factory rmware mode, please press the power key and keep it pressed long enough
so that the status indicator starts blinking orange. At that moment, you can release power button and
the device will boot up to the factory rmware mode.
