Radio Frequency (RF) exposure requirements 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 22 cm or 8.5” 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 8.5” 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 8.5” to the transmitter while
spending the other 50% of the time at more than 15” 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 20” away from the
transmitter in order for this devise to be compliant with the FCC-adopted RF
exposure limits.

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.
