Safety Information
8 GeoExplorer 2008 Series User Guide
Exposure to radio frequency radiation (Bluetooth and WLAN
transmitters)
This device is approved as a portable device with respect to Radio Frequency (RF)
exposure compliance. The radiated output power of the internal wireless radio
transmitters is less than 10 milliWatt, which results in exposure levels far below the
FCC radio frequency exposure limits, even when operated in close proximity to the
body. The internal wireless radios operate within guidelines found in international
radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, which reflect the consensus
of the international scientific community. Trimble therefore believes the internal
wireless radios are safe for use by users. The level of electromagnetic energy emitted is
hundreds of times lower 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 radios.
AC adaptor safety
To charge the handheld’s battery, use the international adaptor kit provided with the
GeoExplorer 2008 series handheld (see Powering the handheld, page 24).

other AC adaptor can damage the handheld and may void your warranty. Do not use
the AC adaptor with any other product.
– Make certain that the input voltage on the adaptor matches the voltage and frequency
in your location.
– Make certain that the adaptor has prongs compatible with your outlets.
– Do not use the AC adaptor in wet outdoor areas; it is designed for indoor use only.
– Unplug the AC adaptor from power when not in use.
– Do not short the output connector.
