Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, as per Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in residential installations. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used according to instructions, it may cause harmful interference to radio communications. There is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a specific installation.

If this equipment causes harmful interference to radio or television reception (which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on), users are encouraged to try correcting the interference by one or more of the following measures:

FCC RF Exposure Information and Statement

The Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) limit for the USA (FCC) is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue. This Portable Label Printer has been tested against this SAR limit.

For typical body-worn operations, the back of the device was kept 0mm from the body during testing. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use accessories that keep a 0mm separation distance between the user's body and the back of the device. Accessories such as belt clips or holsters should not contain metallic components. Using accessories that do not meet these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure regulations and should be avoided.

This equipment also complies with ISED radiation exposure limits for an uncontrolled environment. It can be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 0 cm between the radiator and the user's body. End users must follow the specific operating instructions to ensure RF exposure compliance. This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
