15.3 About Battery UsageYour tester is powered by a built-in Lithium-ion Polymer battery. This means that,
unlike other forms of battery technology, you can recharge your battery whilesome charge remains without reducing your tester’s autonomy due to the “battery
memory effect” inherent in those technologies.

56

DANGER1.

The built-in Lithium-ion Polymer battery is factory replaceable only;
incorrect replacement or tampering with the battery pack may cause an
explosion.

2.

Do not use a damaged battery charger.

Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform, puncture or shred.
Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into thebattery, expose to fire, explosion or other hazards.
Make sure to use the charger and USB cables that come together in the
package only. If you use the other charger and USB cables, you might
incur malfunction or failure of the device.
Only use the charging device that has been qualified with device per the
standard. Use of an unqualified battery or charger may present a risk offire, explosion, leakage, or other hazards.
Avoid dropping the tester. If the tester is dropped, especially on a hardsurface, and the user suspects damage, contact support.
The battery recharging time varies depending on the remaining battery
capacity.
Battery life inevitably shortens over time.
Since over charging may shorten battery life, remove the tester from its
charger once it is fully charged. Unplug the charger once charging iscomplete.
Leaving the tester in hot or cold places, especially inside a car in summer
or winter, may reduce the capacity and life of the battery. Always keep
the battery within normal temperatures.

SAR
The radiated output power of this device is below the FCC radio frequency
exposure limits. Nevertheless, the device should be used in such a manner thatthe potential for human contact is minimized during normal operation.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is
1.6 W/Kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power
level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual
SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value.
This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as
to use only the power required to reach the network. To avoid the possibility ofexceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to antennashould be minimized.
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated withminimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.
