Do not use the device near fuel or chemicals or in any prescribed area such as service stations, refineries, hospitals and aircraft. Obey all warning signs where posted. RADIO FREQUENCY SAFETY INFORMATION The device has an internal antenna. For optimum performance with minimum power consumption do not shield the device or cover with any object. Covering the antenna affects signal quality, may cause the router to operate at a higher power level than needed, and may shorten battery life. RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY Your wireless device is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When switched on it intermittently transmits radio frequency (RF) energy (radio waves). The transmit power level is optimised for best performance and automatically reduces when there is good quality reception.

Under poor network conditions the device transmits at a higher power, may get hot and have a significantly shorter battery life.
