About Bluetooth and Health
Bluetooth
wireless technology allows you to use short-range radio signals to connect a variety of devices, such as barcode
scanners, mobile phones, Pocket PCs, notebook computers, printers, LAN access points, and many other devices at home or work.
These radio signals replace the cables that have traditionally connected these devices.
Bluetooth
products have small radio transmitters and receivers. Output power is normally very low, only 15.75 mW. This gives a
working range of approximately 10 meters.
The maximum exposure levels from
Bluetooth
products are far below recommended safety guidelines. At most, typical
Bluetooth
devices (15.75 mW) reach only one percent of the prescribed safety levels.
Product Care
•
Do not expose your product to liquid, moisture or extreme humidity.
•
Do not expose your product to extreme high or low temperatures.
•
Do not expose your product to lit candles, cigarettes, or cigars, or to open flames, etc.
•
Do not drop, throw or try to bend the product, as rough treatment could damage it.
•
Do not paint your product, as the paint could obstruct parts and prevent normal use.
•
Do not attempt to disassemble your product: a broken warranty seal will void the warranty. The product does not contain
consumer serviceable components. Should your
Bluetooth
CHS need service, please contact Socket technical support at:
http://support.socketmobile.com
•
Treat your product with care. Keep in a clean and dust-free place.
•
Changes or modifications of this product, not expressly approved by Socket, may void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
Cleaning the Bluetooth CHS 7 Rx Series
•
Socket recommends using Sani-Cloth® Plus brand disposable cloth wipes as the standard disinfectant wipe for the
Bluetooth
CHS 7 Rx Series. When cleaned with Sani-Cloth® Plus brand disposable cloth wipes, the JIS Z2801:2000 antimicrobial rating of
the
Bluetooth
CHS 7 Rx improves from 2.47 to 6.07.
•
Do not use a bleach-based or Dispatch® brand cloth wipes, as they negate all antimicrobial properties that have been added to
the device.
Antenna Care
Do not place a metallic shield around the
Bluetooth
Cordless Hand Scanner since it will reduce the radio transmission efficiency.
Efficient Use
For optimum performance, please make sure that there is no metal surrounding your
Bluetooth
Cordless Hand Scanner.
Driving
RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles, such as car stereo, safety equipment, etc. Check with your
vehicle manufacturer to be sure that the
Bluetooth
Cordless Hand Scanner will not affect the vehicle’s electronics.
Aircraft
•
Turn off your
Bluetooth
Cordless Hand Scanner before boarding any aircraft.
•
To prevent interference with communications systems, you must not use your
Bluetooth
Cordless Hand Scanner while the plane
is in the air.
•
Do not use it on the ground without permission from the crew.
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.
