Other Safety Information
1. The RF signals generated by your device can cause interference with or malfunction to medical devices such as pacemakers or hearing aids, including the potential for serious injury. If you have any concerns about using your Kobo device in proximity to any medical devices, please consult the manufacturer of the medical device in question. 2. Certain locations, such as health care facilities or construction sites, may be put at risk when radio frequency (RF) signals are generated, including through use of the wireless functionality on your device. If you see signs and other material requesting that two-way
8
radios or cellular phones should be turned off, please turn off the wireless connection of your device in these areas.
3. This Kobo device has been tested to comply with specific absorption rate (SAR) limits as a body worn device. The maximum allowable level for the European Union is 2.0 W/kg and operation of this device is below that value. To reduce RF exposure, keep your device at a separation distance of 0mm from your body, especially when transmitting wireless data. Cases with metal parts may change the RF performance of the device, including its compliance with RF exposure guidelines, in a manner that has not been tested or certified.
4. Do not open or attempt to repair your device, including repair or replacement of the lithium-ion battery in this device; contact Kobo Support for any repair and/or batteryrelated safety concerns.
