| 33
The Cordless Serial Adapter 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.
Restrictions
•
The Cordless Serial Adapter was not designed to be used with systems
directly responsible for sustaining human life. Avoid using this product
with such systems (e.g., medical equipment for life support, surgery,
etc.).
•
When this product is to be used in installations responsible for human
safety or the maintenance of public installations (e.g., main control or
safety systems in nuclear power plants, mass transportation systems,
etc.), special transport, maintenance, operation, and wiring (i.e., safety
systems installed in close consultation with a Socket representative)
becomes necessary. Please contact an authorized Socket service center.
