Radio Frequency (RF) exposure limits
for operators of this device
Operators of this device must have knowledge of their RF exposure conditions in order
for the device to comply with FCC-adopted RF exposure limits for persons in the
“controlled exposure environment”. The average RF exposure for operators is 5.0 mW/
cm
2
, which requires them to maintain an estimated separation distance of 8 cm or 3”
from the transmitter, while in operation. They should not remain closer than the
suggested distance for any continuous 6 minute interval. Holding “Tags” in front of the
transmitter for brief moments, at closer than 3” is allowed provided the average
exposure in any 6 minute interval is less than 5.0 mW/cm
2
. For example, if an operator
spends 50% of the time with his/her hands or body closer than 3” to the transmitter
while spending the other 50% of the time at more than 5” away, the allowed RF
exposure limits will be satisfied. Operators should use their own judgment to limit their
exposure to the allowed RF exposure limits with control of exposure conditions,
separation distance from the transmitter, and duration of exposure. While this device is
in operation, nearby persons who have no knowledge of being in the RF fields of this
device should be at least 7” away from the transmitter in order for this devise to be
compliant with the FCC-adopted RF exposure limits.
Disclaimer
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including the Scanner, may interfere with
the functionality of inadequately protected medical devices. Consult a physician or the
manufacturer of the medical device if you have any questions. Other electronic
equipment may also be subject to interference.
