WR44 Series Installation Guide
Special notes on safety for wireless routers.
Digi International products are designed to the highest standards of safety and international standards compliance for the markets in which they are sold. However, GSM based products contain radio devices which require specific consideration. Please take the time to read and understand the following guidance. Digi International assumes no liability for an end user’s failure to comply with these precautions.
Wireless routers incorporate a wireless radio module. Users should ensure that the antenna(s) is (are) positioned at least 1 metre away from themselves and other persons in normal operation.
When in a hospital or other health care facility, observe the restrictions on the use of mobile phones. Do not use the router in areas where guidelines posted in sensitive areas instruct users to switch off mobile phones. Medical equipment may be sensitive to RF energy.
The operation of cardiac pacemakers, other implanted medical equipment and hearing aids can be affected by interference from cellular terminals such as the wireless routers when placed close to the device. If in doubt about potential danger, contact the physician or the manufacturer of the device to verify that the equipment is properly shielded. Pacemaker patients are advised to keep the wireless router away from the pacemaker while it is on.
Wireless routers must NOT be operated on aircraft. The operation of wireless appliances in an aircraft is forbidden to prevent interference with communications systems. Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the suspension or denial of cellular services to the offender, legal action, or both.
As with any electrical equipment, you should not operate your wireless router in the presence of flammable gases, fumes or potentially explosive atmospheres. Radio devices should not be used anywhere that blasting operations are taking place.
Wireless routers receive and transmit radio frequency energy while switched on. Remember that interference can occur if it is used close to TV sets, radios, computers or inadequately shielded equipment. Follow any special regulations and always switch off your wireless router wherever forbidden or when you suspect that it may cause interference or danger.
SOS IMPORTANT! – Wireless routers operate using radio signals and cellular networks cannot be guaranteed to connect in all possible conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any wireless device for life critical communications.
