xxi FCC/IC RF Exposure Statement 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 heating tissue), 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 that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. The D3400, which is equipped with a TYPE1FJ (FCC ID:VPYLB1FJ / IC ID:772C-LB1FJ), has been tested and found to comply with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and me ets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. Please refer to the SAR test report that was uploaded to FCC website. Notices for Cust omers in EuropeHereby, Nikon Corporation, declares that the D3400 is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC. The declaration of conformity may be consulted at http://imaging.nikon.com/support/pdf/DoC_D3400.pdf Notice for Customers in Singapore This device complies with radio-frequency regulations. The content of certification labels not affixed to the device is given below.
