Genius Handheld device

Note:
The required frequency of inspections depends on factors such as the location of
the device and whether it is attended or unattended. For example, devices left in a public
area with little supervision should be inspected more regularly than devices that are kept
in secure areas or that are supervised.
•
If you cannot remove your device from its stand to weigh it, take alternative steps to
monitor whether the device has been tampered with. For example, using tamper-seals or
stickers to indicate if a device has been removed and replaced.
•
Monitor devices in remote or unattended locations, for example, using video surveillance or
other physical mechanisms to alert personnel of suspicious behavior.
