12CAUTION
This product has been tested and found to comply with thelimits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of theFCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residentialinstallation. This product generates, uses, and can radiateradio frequency energy and, if not installed and used inaccordance with the instructions, may cause harmfulinterference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particularinstallation. If this product does cause harmful interference
to radio or television, which can be determined by turning
the product off and on, the user is encouraged to try tocorrect the interference by one or more of the following
measures:• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the product andreceiver.
• Connect the product into 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.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved byFujifilm responsible for compliance could void the user’sauthority to operate the equipment.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated inconjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
The available scientific evidence does not show that any
health problems are associated with using low power
wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these
low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power
Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy(RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas
high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heatingtissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce
heating effects causes no known adverse health effects.
Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found
any biological effects. Some studies have suggested thatsome biological effects might occur, but such findings havenot been confirmed by additional research. The INSTAXSQUARE 40 has been tested and found to comply with
FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolledenvironment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF)Exposure Guidelines.
