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).
Efficient Use For optimum performance, please make sure that there is no metal surrounding your Bluetooth Card. Driving RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles, such as car stereo, safety equipment, etc. Check with your vehicle manufacturer’s representative to be sure that your Bluetooth Card will not affect the electronic system in your vehicle. Aircraft • Turn off your Bluetooth Card antenna before boarding any aircraft.
SDIO Card Product Care and Usage • The SDIO Bluetooth Card is susceptible to physical damage. Do not hit the corners of the card or forcefully pull the card out of your device, or permanent damage can occur! • Do not disassemble, modify or repair this unit. There is danger of fires, electrical shock, damage to the unit, and injury. Any repair is impossible. Do not remove the label and do not paste other labels. It may cause malfunction.
• Do not use the unit near a microwave oven or in areas where there is a risk of electrical shock, static electricity or electromagnetic interference. • Do not use the Bluetooth Card in a place with risk of strong vibration. • Do not use benzene or paint thinner to clean the Bluetooth Card. Restrictions • The Bluetooth SDIO Card was not designed to be used with systems directly responsible for sustaining human life. Avoid using this product with such systems (e.g.
