Health and Safety Recommendations
Ergonomic Recommendations
To avoid or minimize the potential risk of ergonomic injury, always follow good ergonomic workplace practices. Consult your local Health and Safety Manager.
Vehicle Installation
RF signals may affect improperly installed or shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the vehicle manufacturer. Ensure equipment installation avoids driver distractions. Position the device within easy reach, allowing access without taking eyes off the road.
Important: Check national and local laws regarding distracted driving before installation or use.
Safety on the Road
Give full attention to driving. Obey laws and regulations on wireless device use while driving. The wireless industry reminds users to use devices safely when driving.
Restricted Use Locations
Observe restrictions and obey all signs and instructions for electronic device use in restricted locations.
Safety in Hospitals and Aircraft
Wireless devices transmit radio frequency energy that may affect medical electrical equipment and aircraft operation. Switch off wireless devices when requested by hospital staff, healthcare facilities, or airline staff to prevent interference with sensitive equipment.
A minimum separation distance of 20 cm (8 in.) is recommended between a wireless device and medical devices (e.g., pacemakers) to avoid potential interference. Pacemaker users should keep the device on the opposite side or turn it off if interference is suspected. Consult your physician or medical device manufacturer regarding potential interference.
RF Exposure Guidelines
Reducing RF Exposure – Use Properly
Operate the device only as instructed. The device complies with internationally recognized standards for human exposure to electromagnetic fields. Refer to the Zebra Declaration of Conformity (DoC) at zebra.com/doc for information on international human exposure standards.
Use only Zebra-tested and approved accessories (headsets, belt clips, holsters) to ensure RF exposure compliance. Avoid third-party accessories that may not comply.
For further information on RF energy safety, refer to zebra.com/responsibility.
Handheld or Body-Worn Devices
To satisfy RF exposure requirements, this device must operate with a minimum separation distance of 1.5 cm (approx. 0.6 in.) from the user's body and nearby persons.
This device must be handheld only and used with Zebra-tested and approved accessories where applicable.
Hotspot Mode
To satisfy RF exposure requirements in hotspot mode, this device must operate with a minimum separation distance of 1.0 cm (approx. 0.4 in.) from the user's body and nearby persons.
Co-located Statement
To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the antenna used for this transmitter must not be co-located (within 20 cm) or operating with any other transmitter/antenna, except those already approved in this filing.
Hotspot ISED Notice
When operating in hotspot mode, this device is restricted to indoor use when operating in the 5150 - 5350 MHz frequency range.
Use with Hearing Aids - FCC
Some wireless devices may cause interference (buzzing, humming, whining) when used near hearing devices. Consult your hearing aid supplier for solutions. The wireless industry provides ratings for mobile phones to assist hearing device users. Zebra mobile devices that are rated have the rating on the Declaration of Conformity (DoC) at zebra.com/doc. Ratings are not guarantees; results vary. Trying the phone with your hearing device is the best evaluation method.
ANSI C63.19 Rating System:
- This phone is hearing aid compatible as determined by ANSI C63.19-2019.
- The phone has been tested and certified for use with hearing aids for some wireless technologies. It is important to test all features thoroughly with your hearing aid or cochlear implant to identify any interfering noise. Consult your service provider or manufacturer for compatibility information.
- The ANSI C63.19-2019 standard uses conversational gains for hearing aid compatibility, not the M/T rating system.
- Volume control performance was evaluated according to ANSI C63.19-2019 and waiver DA-23-914. Lowest conversational gain: 19.58 dB (with hearing aid), 18.00 dB (without hearing aid).
