such areas, you must remove the mIDentity 3G .
1.8 Interference from radio signals: Option
®
relies on advice from health authorities and relevant expert bodies about
potentially undesirable reactions to radio emissions from the mIDentity 3G .
1.9 Immunity to interference: Electromagnetic interference is the disturbance of the normal operation of a device due
to its response to radio signals from an external source. Occasionally, in some situations you may hear short sounds
coming from audio equipment such as radio or multimedia PC. However, these audible signals do not interfere with the
operation of the equipment.
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 & other medical implant devices
It is possible that the mIDentity 3G 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 mIDentity 3G . 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 20 cm between
the mIDentity 3G 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 mIDentity 3G and
hearing device may reduce interference.
1.12 Children: Do not allow children to play with your mIDentity 3G . They could hurt themselves or others, or could
accidentally damage the mIDentity 3G . Your mIDentity 3G 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 mIDentity 3G 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 the mIDentity 3G 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 mIDentity 3G has been thoroughly tested to comply with SAR requirements. These tests
simulate the absorption by the human body of radiation from the mIDentity 3G .
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 USB
orientations with a separation of 5 mm to the flat phantom. The FCC guidelines define a limit of 1.2 W/kg averaged
over a mass of 1 g 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 2.0 W/kg for a mass of 10g (European Council
Recommendation 1999 519 EC), based upon ICNIRP guidelines. Details are available upon request.
