Driving
RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles, such as car stereo, safety
equipment, etc. Check with your vehicle manufacturer to be sure that the CHS will not affect
the vehicle’s electronics.
Aircraft
• Turn off your CHS before boarding any aircraft.
• To prevent interference with communications systems, you must not use your CHS while
the plane is in the air.
• Do not use it on the ground without permission from the crew.
Radio Frequency Exposure
Your CHS contains a radio transmitter and receiver. When in operation, it communicates with
a Bluetooth enabled mobile computer by receiving and transmitting radio frequency (RF)
magnetic fields in the frequency range 2400 to 2483.5 MHz. The output power of the radio
transmitter is 15.75 mW. The CHS is designed to be in compliance with the RF exposure limits
set by national authorities and international health agencies
