Efficient Use
For optimum performance, please make sure that there is no metal
surrounding your Socket 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 Enhanced Cordless Card will not affect
the electronic system in your vehicle.
Aircraft
• Turn off your card antenna before boarding any aircraft.
• To prevent interference with communications systems, you must not use
your Enhanced Cordless Card while the plane is in the air.
• Do not use it on the ground without permission from the crew.
Radio Frequency Exposure
Your Enhanced Cordless Card is a radio transmitter and receiver. When in
operation, it communicates with a Bluetooth equipped mobile phone,
mobile computer or other device by receiving and transmitting radio
frequency (RF) magnetic fields in the frequency range 2400 to 2500 MHz.
The output power of the radio transmitter is 0.001 Watt.
The Enhanced Cordless Card is designed to be in compliance with the RF
exposure limits set by national authorities and international health agencies
1
when installed or used separately from other antennas or radio transmitters.
