Option Audio Xyfi User Manual page 23

Using a wireless devices on aircraft can cause interference and is illegal. Remove your XYFI if you intend to use your PC whilst in an
aircraft. Do not use it when the plane is on the ground without permission from the aircraft crew.
Do not use in hospitals:
Please ensure you follow any local regulations or rules. People are often asked to switch off all electronic devices in some areas of a
hospital. This is a recommendation that Option® fully supports. Using the XYFI close to sensitive electronic devices could possibly result
in interference. If you intend to use your PC in such areas, you must remove the XYFI.
Interference from radio signals:
Option® relies on advice from health authorities and relevant expert bodies about potentially undesirable reactions to radio emissions
from the XYFI.
Immunity to interference:
Electromagnetic interference is the disturbance of the normal operation of a device due to its response to radio signals from an external
source. Occasionally, in some situations you may hear short sounds coming from audio equipment such as radio or multimedia PC.
However, these audible signals do not interfere with the operation of the equipment. The Directive from the European Commission
(2004/108/EC) governing all forms of electronic equipment concerns interference that such equipment produces, and its immunity to
interference from outside. Any equipment compliant with that directive is unlikely to suffer interference. All wireless devices may get
interference which could affect performance.
Cardiac pacemakers, implanted defibrillators & other medical implant devices
It is possible that the XYFI may interfere with some types of pacemakers or implanted defibrillators when operated close to the implanted
device. You should seek advice from your doctor that is specific to the implant before using the XYFI. Health authorities in many countries
have set up advisory services for medical devices and implants including providing advice about maintaining separation distance between
the mobile device or other radio frequency equipment and the implant. Option® operating companies reflect the advice given by their
relevant health authority or national advisory service, and as a minimum recommend a separation distance of at least 20 cm between the
XYFI or other radio frequency terminal equipment and the embedded device.
Hearing devices:
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience interfering noises when using mobile devices or when one is nearby.
The level of interference will depend on the type of mobile device, the type of hearing device and the distance between the two.
Increasing the distance between the XYFI and hearing device may reduce interference.
Children:
Do not allow children to play with your XYFI . They could hurt themselves or others, or could accidentally damage the XYFI . Your XYFI
contains small parts with sharp edges that may cause an injury or which could become detached and create a choking hazard.
Driving:
The driver shall NOT use the XYFI while driving. Park the vehicle first.
SIM cards:
To protect against damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD) do not touch the SIM card connectors. As a precaution, always make sure
that the XYFI is already in your hand before you insert or remove the SIM card.
Accessories:
Only use Option® approved accessories. Do not connect with incompatible products. When used with accessories, Option® can only
guarantee safe and correct operation of our products if the accessories are tested and approved by us.
Safe distance:
The XYFI has been thoroughly tested to comply with SAR requirements. These tests simulate the absorption by the human body of
radiation from the XYFI.
This device complies with the SAR regulation as stated by the FCC./nThe measurements were made according to the Supplement C to
OET Bulletin 65 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Guidelines [OET 65] for evaluating compliance of mobile and portable
devices with FCC limits for human exposure (general population) to radiofrequency emissions. The device was tested in all applicable USB
orientations with a separation of 5 mm to the flat phantom. The FCC guidelines define a limit of 1.2 W/kg averaged over a mass of 1 g for
single platform devices, in this case a notebook platform.
This device complies with the SAR regulation as stated by the European Council Recommendation. The SAR limit as defined by the
European Council Recommendation is 2.0 W/kg for a mass of 10g (European Council Recommendation 1999 519 EC), based upon ICNIRP
guidelines. Details are available upon request.
For day-to-day use we would advise the user to keep a minimum distance from the antenna of 20 cm.
Users concerned with the risk of Radio Frequency exposure may wish to limit the duration of their calls and to position the antenna as far
away from the body as is practical.
Certification requirements
Federal communications commission notice
FCC ID can be found on the label underneath the bottom cover.This equipment 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 to radio communications. However, we cannot 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 different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or television technician for help.
Don't co-locate the device near to any other transmitters.
Modifications
The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications made to this device that are not expressly approved by
Option®, could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
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, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesirable operation.
