Regulatory Compliance Statements

FCC Warning Statement
This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference with radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference with 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 different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

1. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
2. This device complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, avoid direct contact to the transmitting antenna during transmitting.
3. Any changes or modifications (including the antennas) made to this device that are not expressly approved by the manufacturer may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

FCC Label Statement
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1.  This device may not cause harmful interference.
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

RF Radiation Exposure Statement
For body contact during operation, this device has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.0 cm from the body.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.

IC Statements
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. this device may not cause interference, and
2. this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.

After the laboratory measurement, the max SAR value is 1.52mW/g which satisfies the RF exposure requirement.

(i) the device for operation in the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor use to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems;
(ii) the maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5470-5725 MHz shall comply with the e.i.r.p. limit; and
(iii) the maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the band 5725-5825 MHz shall comply with the e.i.r.p. limits specified for point-to-point and non point-to-point operation as appropriate.

Users should also be advised that high-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e. priority users) of the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz and that these radars could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.

Battery Notice

1. To guarantee optimal performance, it is recommended that rechargeable batteries be replaced every year, or after 500 charging cycles are completed. It is normal for the battery to balloon or expand after one year or 500 cycles. Although it does not cause damage, it cannot be used again and must be disposed of according to the location’s safe battery disposal procedures.

2. If a battery performance decreases more than 20%, the battery is at the end of its life cycle. Stop use and ensure the battery is disposed of properly.

3. The length of time that a battery lasts depends on the battery type and how the device is used. Conserve the battery life by doing the following:
   Avoid fully uncharging the battery because this places additional strain on it. Several partial uncharges with frequent charges are better than a fully uncharged battery. Charging a partially charged battery does not cause harm to the unit.
   Keep the battery cool. Avoid hot vehicles. For prolonged storage, keep the battery at a 40% charge level.
   Do not leave the battery uncharged and unused for an extended period of time, the battery will wear out and the longevity of the battery will be at least half of one with frequent charges.

4. Protect battery life by not over or under charging the battery.

5. Please do not leave battery unused for long time without charging it. Despite Unitech’s safety precautions, the battery pack may begin to change shape. If so, stop using it immediately. Please check to see if you are using a proper power adapter to charge the battery or contact your service provider for service.

6. If you cannot charge the battery after it has been idle for an extended period of time and it begins to heat up, please do not try to charge it. It may not be functional anymore.

7. Please only use the original battery from Unitech. Using a third party battery can damage our products. Please note that when such damage occurs, it is not covered by Unitech’s warranty policy.

CAUTION!   RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED INCORRECTLY.
DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.

Battery charge notice
It is important to consider temperature when the battery pack is charging. Charging is most efficient at normal room temperature or in a slightly cooler environment. It is essential that batteries are charged within the stated range of 0°C to 40°C. Charging batteries outside of the specified range could damage the batteries and shorten their life cycle.
CAUTION! Do not charge batteries at a temperature lower than 0°C. This will make the batteries unstable and dangerous. Please use a battery temperature detecting device for a charger to ensure a safe charging temperature range.

CAUTION! To ensure the unit working properly, please keep all connectors away from the contaminants staying inside of them such as dust, grease, mud, and water. The negligence may cause the unit with no communication, short circuited, overheated and so on.

CAUTION! If the connector is damaged, please ensure the connector is being fully repaired before use the unit to avoid causing short circuited.

Storage and safety notice

Although charged batteries may be left unused for several months, their capacity may be depleted due to build up of internal resistance. If this happens, they will require recharging prior to use. Batteries may be stored at temperatures between -20°C to 60°C, however they may deplete more rapidly at higher temperatures. It is recommended to store batteries at room temperature.

• The message above only applies to the usage of the removable batteries. For the products with non-removable batteries / without batteries, please refer to the specification of each product.

Product Operation and Storage Notice

The Unitech product has applicable operation and storage temperature conditions. Please follow the limitation of suggested temperature conditions to avoid failure, damage or malfunction.
*For applicable temperature conditions, please refer to the specification of each product.
