margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to
account for any variations of measurement. Before a badge is available
for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified by the FCC that it
does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted
requirement for safe exposure.
USE ONLY APPROVED ACCESSORIES
To ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines when wearing
the Vocera badge, always use a Vocera Communications approved lan-
yard, pocket clip, universal clip, or holster. Use of accessories that have
not been tested for RF exposure compliance with this product may not
comply with the FCC RF exposure safety guidelines and should not be
used.
To ensure RF exposure compliance of the badge when using the lanyard,
position and maintain the call button, the speaker and antenna facing
away from the body, as illustrated in the Getting Started section of this
User Guide. The badge and lanyard attachment have been designed
specifically to maintain proper orientation during normal usage. Addi-
tionally, the lanyard clip can be secured to clothing to provide additional
stability. Wearing the Vocera Communications badge with the antenna
facing the body may not comply with FCC RF exposure guidelines and
should be avoided.
RF exposure (SAR) tests have been performed on the Vocera Communi-
cations badge when worn correctly and used with the approved acces-
sories. The SAR test results show compliance of the badge with the FCC
exposure requirements. When operated with the appropriate accesso-
ries as instructed in this manual the level of RF exposure is well below
the FCC limit of 1.6W/Kg.
Use only the supplied internal antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifi-
cations, or attachments could damage the badge and could violate FCC
regulations and void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
