of the 2.4 GHz band and it is possible to avoid the band of 
mobile object identification systems. DS-SS is used for the 
radio wave method. The interference distance is 10 m.
The 2.4 GHz band is also used by medical equipment, Bluetooth, and 
wireless LAN equipment conforming to the IEEE802.11b/11g standard.

Before using this product, check that there are no other “radio 

 

stations”* operating nearby.
If electromagnetic interference occurs between this product 

 

and  other “radio  stations”,  move  this  product  to  another 
location or stop using this product.

*  Other “radio stations” refer to industrial, scientific and medical devices 

using the 2.4 GHz band like this product, other radio stations of this type, 
licensed radio station premises for mobile object identification system 
that is used in factory production lines, certain non-licensed low power 
radio stations and amateur radio stations.

 WARNING

Do not use this product with a device that may have a 

 

serious function or influence. There are rare cases where 
an external radio wave at the same frequency or the 
radio wave emitted from a mobile phone causes this 
product to malfunction, slow down, or fail to operate.
Do not use this product in a hospital or other locations 

 

where the use of radio waves is prohibited. The radio 
waves of this product may affect electronic and medical 
devices (e.g. pacemaker).
The use of a wireless mouse in an aircraft is prohibited by 

 

aviation law because doing so may interfere with flight 
safety. Turn off the power of the mouse body before
