Cautions for Wireless Equipment

This product is a wireless device that can use the entire 2.4 GHz band, and is able to avoid the mobile entity identification device range. The GFSK method is adopted as the radio wave method, and the interference distance is 10 m. The 2.4 GHz band is also used in medical devices, Bluetooth, and wireless LAN devices of the IEEE 802.11b/11g/11n standards.

  • Before using this product, check that there are no other “radio stations”* operating nearby.
  • If electromagnetic interference occurs between this product and other “radio stations”*, move this product to another location or stop using this product.

* Other "radio stations" refer to industrial, scientific and medical devices using the 2.4 GHz band, the same as this product, other radio stations of this type, licensed radio station premises for a mobile object identification system that is used in factory production lines, certain non-licensed low power radio stations, and amateur radio stations.

WARNING

  • Do not use in equipment which may cause serious effects due to it malfunctioning. There are rare cases in which an external radio wave at the same frequency, or the radio wave emitted from a mobile phone, causes this product to malfunction, slow down, or fail to operate.
  • Do not use this product in places where radio wave usage is prohibited, such as hospitals. Radio waves of this product may affect electronic devices and medical devices (for example pacemakers).
  • Due to the possibility of hindering safe navigation of aircraft, use of wireless mouse in aircraft is prohibited by the Civil Aeronautics Act. Turn off the power of the wireless mouse before boarding and do not use after boarding.
