CAUTION – For your own safety, and in terms of the RF Exposure requirements of the
FCC, always observe the precautions listed here.
• Always maintain a minimum separation distance of 20 cm (7.8 inches) between
yourself and the radiating antenna on the SPSx50 and SPSx51 radio-modem.
• Do not co-locate the antenna with any other transmitting device.

Safety. Exposure to RF energy is an important safety consideration. The FCC has
adopted a safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic
energy emitted by FCC regulated equipment as a result of its actions in General Docket
79-144 on March 13, 1986.
Proper use of this radio modem results in exposure below government limits. The
following precautions are recommended:
• DO NOT operate the transmitter when someone is within 20 cm (7.8 inches) of
the antenna.
The maximum gain of the antenna must not exceed 8 dBi.
For Bluetooth radio
The radiated output power of the internal Bluetooth wireless radio is far below the
FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the wireless radio shall be used in
such a manner that the Trimble receiver is 20 cm or further from the human body. The
internal wireless radio operates within guidelines found in radio frequency safety
standards and recommendations, which reflect the consensus of the scientific
community. Trimble therefore believes the internal wireless radio is safe for use by
consumers. The level of energy emitted is far less than the electromagnetic energy
emitted by wireless devices such as mobile phones. However, the use of wireless radios
may be restricted in some situations or environments, such as on aircraft. If you are
unsure of restrictions, you are encouraged to ask for authorization before turning on
the wireless radio.
