enclosed metallic structures eg lifts. 

 

The Wi-Fi hotspot is not waterproof. Please keep it dry and store it in a cool, dry 
place. 

 

Don’t use the Wi-Fi hotspot immediately after a sudden temperature change eg 
from an air conditioned environment to high temperature and humidity outside. 
In such cases there could be condensing moisture inside the Wi-Fi hotspot 
which can cause internal damage. Unplug the Wi-Fi hotspot and leave it for 30 
minutes before use. 

 

Always handle the Wi-Fi hotspot with care. Be careful not to drop or bend the

RF SAFETY INFORMATION 

The wireless device has an internal antenna. For optimum performance with 
minimum power consumption do not shield the device or cover with any object.   
Covering the antenna affects signal quality and may cause the Wi-Fi hotspot to 
operate at a higher power level than needed. 

 
 

RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY 

The wireless device is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When switched 
on it intermittently transmits radio frequency (RF) energy (radio waves).   
The transmit power level is optimized for best performance and automatically 
reduces when there is good quality reception.   
Maximum power is only used at the edge of network coverage so under most 
circumstances the power output is very low.   
Under poor network conditions the Wi-Fi hotspot transmits at a higher power level 
and may get hot. 

 
 

SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR) 

The wireless device is designed to be used in close proximity to the body. We 
declare that the product detailed in this manual, and in combination with our
