Regulatory Statements Federal Communications Commission Notice (FCC – United States) Electronic devices, including computers and wireless modems, generate RF energy incidental to their intended function and are therefore subject to FCC rules and regulations. This equipment has been tested to, and found to be within the acceptable limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
RF Exposure Content FCC Equipment Authorization ID: PKRISGMIFI8000 This device is authorized for use in mobile and portable applications. This product has been evaluated for SAR and meets the FCC Guidelines for exposure to radio waves. For better signal reception, coverage range and data throughput, do not place the router near any physical obstruction, including in a pocket or in close proximity of any object.
Wireless Communications IMPORTANT Due to the transmission and reception properties of wireless communications, data occasionally can be lost or delayed. This can be due to the variation in radio signal strength that results from changes in the characteristics of the radio transmission path. Although data loss is rare, the environment where you operate the modem might adversely affect communications. Variations in radio signal strength are referred to as fading.
Safety Hazards Do not operate the MiFi 8000 in an environment that might be susceptible to radio interference resulting in danger, specifically: Areas where prohibited by the law Follow any special rules and regulations and obey all signs and notices. Always turn off the host device when instructed to do so, or when you suspect that it might cause interference or danger.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) Electrical and electronic devices are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Macintosh native connection software might attempt to reinitialize the device should a substantial electrostatic discharge reset the device. If the software is not operational after an ESD occurrence, then restart your computer.
Proper Battery Use and Disposal IMPORTANT In event of a battery leak: • Do not allow the liquid to come in contact with the skin or the eyes. If contact has been made, wash the affected area with large amounts of water and seek medical advice. • Seek medical advice immediately if a battery has been swallowed. • Communicate the appropriate steps to be taken if a hazard occurs. Due to the transmission and reception properties of wireless communications, data occasionally can be lost or delayed.
