Express 441/2 User Guide
Version: v017ext Page: 26 of 28
The Directive from the European Commission (2004/108/EC) governing all forms of electronic equipment
concerns interference that such equipment produces, and its immunity to interference from outside. Any
equipment compliant with that directive is unlikely to suffer interference. All wireless devices may get interference
which could affect performance.
1.10 Cardiac pacemakers, implanted defibrillators and other medical implant devices
It is possible that the GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2 may interfere with some types of pacemakers or implanted
defibrillators when operated close to the implanted device. You should seek advice from your doctor that is
specific to the implant before using the GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2. Health authorities in many countries have set
up advisory services for medical devices and implants including providing advice about maintaining separation
distance between the mobile device or other radio frequency equipment and the implant. Option
®
operating
companies reflect the advice given by their relevant health authority or national advisory service, and as a
minimum recommend a separation distance of at least 20cm between the GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2 or other
radio frequency terminal equipment and the embedded device.
1.11 Hearing devices: People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience interfering noises
when using mobile devices or when one is nearby. The level of interference will depend on the type of mobile
device, the type of hearing device and the distance between the two. Increasing the distance between the
GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2 and hearing device may reduce interference.
1.12 Children: Do not allow children to play with your GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2. They could hurt themselves or
others, or could accidentally damage the GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2. Your GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2
contains small parts with sharp edges that may cause an injury or which could become detached and create a
choking hazard.
1.13 Driving: Do NOT use the GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2 while driving. Park the vehicle first.
1.14 SIM cards: To protect against damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD) do not touch the SIM card
connectors. As a precaution, always make sure that GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2 is already in your hand before
you insert or remove the SIM card.
1.15 Accessories: Only use Option
®
approved accessories. Do not connect with incompatible products. When
used with accessories, Option
®
can only guarantee safe and correct operation of our products if the accessories
are tested and approved by us.
1.16 Safe distance: The GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2 has been thoroughly tested to comply with SAR
requirements. These tests simulate the absorption by the human body of radiation from the GlobeTrotter
®
Express
441/2.
This device complies with the SAR regulation as stated by the FCC.
The measurements were made according to the Supplement C to OET Bulletin 65 of the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Guidelines [OET 65] for evaluating compliance of mobile and portable devices with FCC limits
for human exposure (general population) to radiofrequency emissions. The device was tested in all applicable
orientations with a separation of 5mm to the flat phantom. The FCC guidelines define a limit of 1.2W/kg averaged
over a mass of 1g for single platform devices, in this case a notebook platform.
This device complies with the SAR regulation as stated by the European Council Recommendation.
The SAR limit as defined by the European Council Recommendation is 2.0W/kg for a mass of 10g (European
Council Recommendation 1999 519 EC), based upon ICNIRP guidelines. Details are available upon request.
For day-to-day use we would advise the user to keep a minimum distance from the antenna of 20cm.
Users concerned with the risk of Radio Frequency exposure may wish to limit the duration of their calls and to
position the antenna as far away from the body as is practical.
1.17 Supply voltage: The GlobeTrotter
®
Express 441/2 has to be supplied by a limited power source according to
EN 60950-1:2001.
