About Bluetooth and Health
Bluetooth wireless technology allows you to use short-range radio signals
to connect a variety of devices, such as bar code scanners, mobile phones,
Pocket PCs, notebook computers, printers, LAN access points, and many
other devices at home or work. These radio signals replace the cables that
have traditionally connected these devices.
Bluetooth products have small radio transmitters and receivers. Output
power is normally very low, only 1 mW (1/1000 of a watt). This gives a
working range of approximately 10 meters.
The maximum exposure levels from Bluetooth products are far below
recommended safety guidelines. At most, typical Bluetooth devices (1mW)
reach only one percent of the prescribed safety levels.
Product Care
• Do not expose your product to liquid, moisture or extreme humidity.
• Do not expose your product to extreme high or low temperatures.
• Do not expose your product to lit candles, cigarettes, or cigars, or to
open flames, etc.
• Do not drop, throw or try to bend the product, as rough treatment could
damage it.
• Do not paint your product, as the paint could obstruct parts and prevent
normal use.
• Do not attempt to disassemble your product: a broken warranty seal will
void the warranty. The product does not contain consumer serviceable
components. Should your Cordless Ring Scanner need service, please
contact Socket technical support at:
[e-mail].
• Treat your product with care. Keep in a clean and dust-free place.
• Changes or modifications of this product, not expressly approved by
Socket, may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Antenna Care
Do not place a metallic shield around the Cordless Ring Scanner since it
will reduce the radio transmission efficiency.
