The D SCAN
®
AUTHENTICATOR CF document reader is designed,
manufactured and tested to meet international safety standards. The document
reader contains an RF transmission device, and is therefore subject to national and
international regulations. The Authenticator transmits at a frequency of 13,56
MHz. However, all electric appliances can emit spurious RF-signals at other than
the specified frequency.
To ensure safe operation of the D SCAN AUTHENTICATOR CF:
• The operator of the D SCAN AUTHENTICATOR CF must observe the
guidelines and particularly the safety precautions outlined in this document
and according to related country regulation requirements.
• You must restrict the use of the device in potentially hazardous
environments. The environments include fuel depots, chemical plants and
areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust, or
metal powders). The restrictions apply in any other area where you would
normally be asked to turn off your vehicle engine.
• Transmitted radio frequency energy may interfere with some hearing aids,
pacemakers or other medical devices if the person is positioned too close to
the document reader.
• To reduce the RF exposure refer to your related country regulation
requirements. See the specifications table and the section “Magnetic field
strength” on page 4-3 for detailed information.
• Read the User Manual on the CDROM for detailed information to operate
the D SCAN AUTHENTICATOR CF.
• Turn off the document reader when not in use.
• Do not open the device. Repairs must be done by Cross Match Technologies.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Cross Match
Technologies could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Cross Match Technologies GmbH assumes no liability for the customer's failure
to comply with these requirements.
