Precautions on Regulations and Standards
Precautions on wireless LAN
WARNING| Remove the rechargeable battery of the DX-RH1/RH1GA/RM1/RM1GA
near locations where using wireless devices is banned at medical institutions
or near electric devices for medical purposes. Carry and use the product away
from an implanted cardiac pacemaker. For details, see the website of the
Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of Japan.

Important
- Communication may be impossible at locations near metallic objects, locations surrounded with metallic walls, where there is a lot of metallic powder, and in similar usage environments. Be sure to check whether the communication is possible prior to installation.
- If this product is used near devices with the same frequency band, radio wave interference may occur and the communication speed may become slow or communication may become impossible. [Japan]
- The DX-RH1/RM1 has obtained construction design certification according to the Radio Act of Japan.
- Never disassemble or modify this device. Doing so is prohibited the Radio Act.
- If other radio stations are subject to radio wave interference from this unit, immediately stop the electric wave generation, and then contact the below phone number in regard to taking necessary measures (e.g. setting a partition) to avoid interference. KEYENCE Corporation, +81-6-6379-1151
Land mobile station application
Important The DX-RH1 uses electric waves in the UHF band (920 MHz), which
is categorized for land mobile stations having high output (antenna power of 1
W or less). Therefore, when using the DX-RH1, an application to use the device
as a premises radio station or land mobile station must be made to the
Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of Japan. For details, see
the website of this ministry.
Failure to obtain the written notification of radio station registration or to
report the installation of such a station is a violation of the Radio Act.
UL Certificate
The DX-RH1GA/RM1GA complies with the following UL and CSA standards and has
been certified by UL.
- UL File No. E167973
- Category AZOT/AZOT7
- Applicable standards UL 62368-1 CAN/CSA-C22.2, No. 62368-1
Be sure to consider the following specifications when using this product as a
UL-certified product.
Use this product in combination with the DX-BC6 which has obtained UL
certification.
CAUTION| Replacing the battery with an incorrect type presents an
explosion hazard. Dispose of used batteries according to the instruction
manual.

FCC Regulations
-
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions;
(1) This device may not cause a harmful interface, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. -
Application regulation
FCC Part 15 Subpart B Class A
FCC Part 15 Subpart C -
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low-power wireless devices. There 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 effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. The DX-RH1GA/RM1GA only has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for controlled environments and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines.
CAUTION This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his/her own expense.
-
FCC CAUTION
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. -
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
ISED Regulations
This device complies with the following regulations specified by the ISED.

CAUTION
- This device complies with Industry Canada’s license-exempt RSS. 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.
