Th ese limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. Th is equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit diff erent from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help Th e available scientifi c evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. Th ere is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health eff ects
(by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating eff ects causes no known adverse health eff ects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not found any biological eff ects. Some studies have suggested that some biological eff ects might occur, but such fi ndings have not been confi rmed by additional research. 2 COM-2.US.3-213-854-11(1) COM-2.US rd the when you approved t. ts for a limits rference n radiate e with ications. a particular adio or pment off one or m that to elp blems are f, however, er Wireless owave alth eff ects heating w level RF suggested t been Th e Personal Communicator COM-2 (FCC ID: AK8COM2) has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65.
