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 undesired operation. You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this manual could void your authority to operate this equipment. This equipment must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Note 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, there is no 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/TV technician for help. This device complies with Industry Canada’s licence-exempt RSSs. 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. This equipment complies with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that is deemed to comply without testing of specific absorption rate (SAR). The LDAC™ name and logo is a trademark of Sony Corporation.

Maximum communication range may vary depending on obstacles (human body, metal, wall, etc.) or electromagnetic environment. • The antenna is built into the unit as illustrated in the dotted line. The sensitivity of the BLUETOOTH communications will improve by turning the direction of the built-in antenna to the connected BLUETOOTH device. When obstacles are between the antenna of the connected device and the built-in antenna of this unit, noise or audio dropout may occur, or communications may be disabled. • BLUETOOTH communications may be disabled, or noise or audio dropout may occur under the following conditions. – There is a human body between the unit and the BLUETOOTH device. This situation may be improved by placing the BLUETOOTH device facing the antenna of the unit. – There is an obstacle, such as metal or wall, between the unit and the BLUETOOTH device. – A device using 2.4 GHz frequency, such as a Wi-Fi device, cordless telephone, or microwave oven, is in use near this unit. • Because BLUETOOTH devices and Wi-Fi (IEEE802.11b/g/n) use the same frequency (2.4 GHz), microwave interference may occur resulting in noise or audio dropout or communications being disabled if this unit is used near a Wi-Fi device. In such a case, perform the following. – Use this unit at least 10 m (30 feet) away from the Wi-Fi device. – If this unit is used within 10 m (30 feet) of a Wi-Fi device, turn off the Wi-Fi device. – Install this unit and the BLUETOOTH device as near to each other as possible. • Microwaves emitting from a BLUETOOTH device may affect the operation of electronic medical devices. Turn off this unit and other BLUETOOTH devices in the following locations, as it may cause an accident: – where inflammable gas is present, in a hospital, or a petrol station – near automatic doors or a fire alarm • Do not use the unit on an airplane. Radio waves may affect instruments, causing an accident due to malfunction. • Due to the characteristic of BLUETOOTH wireless technology, the sound played on this unit is slightly delayed from the sound played on the BLUETOOTH device during talking on the telephone or listening to the music. • This unit supports security capabilities that comply with the BLUETOOTH standard to provide a secure connection when the BLUETOOTH wireless technology is used, but security may not be eno…

KDB 447498D01(v06) has the following exclusion for portable devices: The 1g and 10g SAR test exclusion thresholds for 100 MHz to 6 GHz at test separation distances ӊ50 mm are determined by: [(max. power of channel, including tune-up tolerance, mW)/(min. test separation distance, mm)] ·>¥I *+] @”for 1-J6$5DQG”IRU-g extremity SAR, where ͌f(GHz) is the RF channel transmit frequency in GHz ͌Power and distance are rounded to the nearest mW and mm before calculation ͌The result is rounded to one decimal place for comparison The test exclusions are applicable only when the minimum test separation distance is ӊ50 mm and for transmission frequencies between 100 MHz and 6 GHz. When the minimum test separation distance is < 5 mm, a distance of 5 mm is applied to determine SAR test exclusion. This device has f = 2.48 GHz and distance = 5 mm (minimum separation distance: 5 mm was used in the calculation) and the maximum average output power was 1 mW So for this device: 1 mW[maximum average output power]/5 mm[minimum separation distance]*Ҁ2.48 = 0.3 *This is less than 3.0, so no SAR is required. Even taking into account the tolerance, this device can be satisfied with the limits. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Masanori Nishiyama Manager of Kashima EMC Lab.
