Regulatory Compliance
Symbol RF products are designed to be compliant with the rules and regulations
in the locations into which they are sold and will be labeled as required.
The majority of Symbol RF devices are type approved and do not require the user to
obtain license or authorization before using the equipment. Any changes or modifications
to Symbol Technologies equipment not expressly approved by Symbol Technologies could
void the user authority to operate the equipment.
Radio Frequency Interference Requirements
This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device pursuant to Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commissions Rules and
Regulation. 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 own expense. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the
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:
• Re-orient 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 which the receiver is connected
Radio Frequency Interference Requirements - Canada
This Class B digital apparatus meets the requirements of the Canadian
Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.
Cet appareil numérique de la Classe B respecte toutes les exigences du
Reglement sur le Materiél Brouilleur du Canada.
To comply with FCC and Industry Canada exposure requirements,
antennas that are mounted externally at remote locations or operating
near users at stand-alone desktop on similar configurations must
operate with a minimum seperation of 20cm from all persons.

however authorization for use restricted as follows:
•European standards dictate maximum radiated transmit power of 100mW
EIRP and frequency range 2.400 - 2.4835 GHz.
•France, the equipment is to be restricted to the 2.4465 - 2.4835 GHz
frequency range.
•Belgium outside, the equipment is to be restricted to the 2.460 -2.4835 GHz
