Safety Information
Canada
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital
apparatus as set out in the radio interference regulations of the Canadian Department of
Communications. Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant
les limites applicables aux appareils numériques de Classe B prescrites dans le règlement sur le
brouillage radioélectrique édicté par le Ministère des Communications du Canada.
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Your device contains a radio transmitter and receiver. The radiated output power is far below the
international radio frequency exposure limits. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and
establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on the
safety standards previously set by international standards bodies:
l American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992.
l National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP). Report 86. 1986.
l Int’l Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996.
l Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. The standards include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
Use of unauthorized or modified antennas may impair call quality and damage the phone, causing
loss of performance. To assure optimal phone performance and ensure human exposure to RF
energy is within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards; always use your device only in its
normal-use position. Avoiding contact with the antenna area when the phone is IN USE optimizes
the antenna performance.
This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below, and having a maximum
gain of 3 dB. Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater than 3 dB are strictly
prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
Trimble Antenna # 81288-01A
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so
chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for
successful communication.
Carrying the unit
Due to radio frequency emissions, it is unsafe to operate the radio with the unit in a holster,
dangling from a lanyard, or with any method that keeps the powered unit in very close proximity to
the head or torso. For safe operation, carry the unit in your hand with the antennas located at least
20 cm (~8 inches) from the head or torso. See the following illustration for the correct and incorrect
way to operate the unit.
