APPENDIX B: SAFETY AND USAGE TIPS 71
Antenna Care
Do not place a metallic shield around the Bluetooth CRS since it will
reduce the radio transmission efficiency.
Efficient Use
For optimum performance, please make sure that there is no metal
surrounding your Bluetooth CRS.
Driving
RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles,
(e.g., car stereo, safety equipment, etc.). Inquire the vehicle maker to
verify the Bluetooth CRS will not affect the vehicle’s electronics.
Aircraft
• Turn off your Bluetooth CRS before boarding any aircraft.
• To prevent interference with communications systems, you must
not use your CRS while the plane is in the air.
• Do not use it on the ground without permission from the crew.
Radio Frequency Exposure
Your Bluetooth CRS contains a radio transmitter and receiver. When in
use, it communicates with a Bluetooth enabled computer 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 Bluetooth CRS is designed to comply with the RF exposure limits set
by national authorities and international health agencies

when installed or
used separately from other antennae or radio transmitters.
