Efficient Use
For optimum performance, please make sure that there is no metal 
surrounding your 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 Cordless Hand Scanner will not affect the vehicle’s 
electronics. 
 
Aircraft 
•  Turn off your Cordless Hand Scanner before boarding any aircraft. 
•  To prevent interference with communications systems, you must not use 
your 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 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 2500 MHz. The output power of the 
radio transmitter is 0.001 Watt. The Cordless Hand Scanner is designed to 
be in compliance with the RF exposure limits set by national authorities and 
international health agencies
 when installed or used separately from other 
antennas or radio transmitters.
