Radio Frequency Exposure
Your
Bluetooth
Cordless Hand Scanner contains a radio transmitter and receiver.
When in operation, it communicates with a
Bluetooth
enabled mobile computer by
receiving and transmitting radio frequency (RF) magnetic fields in the frequency
range 2400 to 2483.5 MHz. The output power of the radio transmitter is 15.75 mW.
The
Bluetooth
Cordless Hand Scanner is designed to be in compliance with the RF
exposure limits set by national authorities and international health agencies
1
when
installed or used separately from other antennas or radio transmitters.
