Appendix B Safety and Usage Tips 
 
 
About Bluetooth and Health 
Bluetooth wireless technology allows you to use short-range radio signals 
to connect a variety of devices, such as bar code 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 1 mW (1/1000 of a watt). 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 (1mW) 
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 Cordless Hand Scanner need service, please 
contact Socket technical support at: support@socketcom.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. 
 
Antenna Care 
Do not place a metallic shield around the Cordless Hand Scanner since it 
will reduce the radio transmission efficiency.
