Regulatory Compliance
Bluetooth and laser
This information applies to the following products: Socket Mobile SocketScan, DuraScan, DuraSled, and XtremeSCan NFC and RFID Products. These products are designed to comply with the rules and regulations in the locations where they are sold and will be labeled as required. These products are type-approved—users are not required to obtain a license or authorization before using them. Except where otherwise noted, the following regulatory compliance statements refer to all of the products listed above.
These products have been certified to conform to technological standards. Therefore, the following actions are punishable by law:
- Disassembly or modification of these products
- Removal of identification labels on the back of the products
CAUTION: Changes or modifications to the devices not expressly approved by Socket Mobile can void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
The frequency used by these products is also used by industrial, scientific, and medical devices, such as microwave ovens, as well as wireless detectors for motion detectors, such as those requiring licenses used on manufacturing lines or similar radio transmitters (all these wireless devices will be called "other wireless transmitters" below). Most modern electronic equipment (e.g., in hospitals and cars) is shielded from RF energy. However, certain electronic equipment is not.
- Please ensure that all medical devices used in proximity to this device meet appropriate susceptibility specifications for this type of RF energy.
- In the unlikely event that electronic interference occurs between this system and other wireless transmitters, quickly change the location of operation or stop operating the unit (cease signal transmission).
- If other electrical interference or related problems should occur, contact Socket Mobile technical support.
Radiofrequency interference requirements
Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
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 of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
- Connect the equipment to 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.
FCC Caution: To assure continued compliance, any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. (For example, use only shielded interface cables when connecting to a computer or peripheral devices).
