The use of this device in any other type of host configuration may not comply with the RF exposure requirements
and should be avoided. During operation, a 20 cm separation distance should be maintained between the
antenna, whether extended or retracted, and the user
’
s/bystander
’
s body (excluding hands, wrists, feet, and
ankles) to ensure RF exposure compliance. The modem is not designed for, nor intended to be, used in
applications within 20 cm (8 inches) of the body of the user. Continued compliance of the equipment relies upon
it being used with an AS/NZS 60950.1 approved SELV power supply.
2.1.1.
CAUTION
Change or modification without the express consent of Maxon Electronics Australia Pty. Ltd. voids the user
’
s
authority to use the equipment. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in an appropriate installation. The modem is a transmitting device with similar output power to a
mobile phone. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not used in
accordance with instructions, can cause harmful radiation to radio communication. Use only the supplied or an
approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the
device, or result in violation of RF exposure regulations.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the equipment does
cause harmful interference in radio and television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment
on and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
● Re-orient or relocate the receiving radio or TV antenna
● Increase the separation distance between the equipment and the receiver
● Contact Maxon Australia Technical Support for assistance.
