Cautions have to be taken for the SIM, checking carefully the instruction for 
its use. Do not insert or remove the SIM when the product is in switched on. 

Every  module  has  to  be  equipped  with  a  proper  antenna  with  specific 
characteristics. The antenna has to be installed with care in order to avoid any 
interference with other electronic devices and has to guarantee a minimum 
distance from the body (20 cm).  

For Europe  
The  European  Community  provides  some  Directives  for  the  electronic 
equipments introduced on the market.  
All  the  relevant  information’s  are  available  on  the  European  Community 
website: 

http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/sectors/rtte/documents/

 

The text of the Directive 99/05 regarding telecommunication equipments is 
available, while the applicable Directives (Low Voltage and EMC) are available 
at: 

http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/sectors/electrical

 

 

FOR USA 
For your own safety, and in terms of the RF Exposure requirements of the FCC 
always observe the precautions listed here. 

 

Maintain  a  minimum  separation  distance  of  20  cm  (7.8 
inches) between yourself and the radiating antenna. 

 

Do not collocate (place within 20 cm) the radio antenna with 
any other transmitting device. 

Bluetooth/WiFi radio Module  
The radiated output power of the internal Bluetooth module of this equipment 
is far below the  FCC and EU  radio frequency exposure  limits. In any case, be 
sure to use the equipment with the radio far at least 20 cm from the human 
body. The Bluetooth module match the guidelines found in radio frequency 
“safety  standards  and  recommendations  “published  by  Scientific 
organizations. 
Stonex srl therefore believes the internal wireless radio is safe for use by end 
users. The level of energy emitted is far less than the electromagnetic energy
