Radio Frequency (RF) Safety

Due to the possibility of radio frequency (RF) interference, it is important that you follow any special regulations
regarding the use of radio equipment. Follow the safety advice given below.

■ Operating your device close to other electronic equipment may cause interference if the equipment is

inadequately protected. Observe any warning signs and manufacturers’ recommendations.

■ Different industries and businesses restrict the use of cellular devices. Respect restrictions on the use of

radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants, or where blasting operations are in process. Follow
restrictions for any environment where you operate the device.

■ Do not place the antenna outdoors.

■ Switch OFF your wireless device when in an aircraft. Using portable electronic devices in an aircraft may

endanger aircraft operation, disrupt the cellular network, and is illegal. Failing to observe this restriction
may lead to suspension or denial of cellular services to the offender, legal action, or both.

■ Switch OFF your wireless device when around gasoline or diesel-fuel pumps and before filling your vehicle

with fuel.

■ Switch OFF your wireless device in hospitals and any other place where medical equipment may be in use.

Interference with Pacemakers and Other Medical Devices

Potential interference

Radiofrequency energy (RF) from cellular devices can interact with some electronic devices. This is electromagnetic
interference (EMI). The FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure EMI of implanted cardiac
pacemakers and defibrillators from cellular devices. This test method is part of the Association for the

MultiConnect®rCell 100 Series Router User Guide 11

SAFETY WARNINGS

Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) standard. This standard allows manufacturers to ensure that
cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from cellular device EMI.

The FDA continues to monitor cellular devices for interactions with other medical devices. If harmful interference
occurs, the FDA will assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.

Precautions for pacemaker wearers

If EMI occurs, it could affect a pacemaker in one of three ways:

■ Stop the pacemaker from delivering the stimulating pulses that regulate the heart's rhythm.

■ Cause the pacemaker to deliver the pulses irregularly.

■ Cause the pacemaker to ignore the heart's own rhythm and deliver pulses at a fixed rate.

Based on current research, cellular devices do not pose a significant health problem for most pacemaker wearers.
However, people with pacemakers may want to take simple precautions to be sure that their device doesn't cause
a problem.

■ Keep the device on the opposite the side of the body from the pacemaker to add extra distance

between the pacemaker and the device.

■ Avoid placing a turned-on device next to the pacemaker (for example, don’t carry the device in a shirt

or jacket pocket directly over the pacemaker).

Antenna - wireless products only

The antenna intended for use with this unit meets the requirements for mobile operating configurations and for
fixed mounted operations, as defined in 2.1091 and 1.1307 of the FCC rules for satisfying RF exposure compliance.
If an alternate antenna is used, consult user documentation for required antenna specifications.

Certificate of Compliance

2011/65/EU

Multi-Tech Systems confirms that its embedded products comply with the chemical concentration limitations set
forth in the directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament (Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous
Substances in electrical and electronic equipment - RoHS).

These Multi-Tech products do not contain the following banned chemicals1:

■ Lead, [Pb] < 1000 PPM

■ Mercury, [Hg] < 1000 PPM

■ Hexavalent Chromium, [Cr+6] < 1000 PPM

■ Cadmium, [Cd] < 100 PPM

■ Polybrominated Biphenyl, [PBB] < 1000 PPM

■ Polybrominated Diphenyl Ether, [PBDE] < 1000 PPM

Environmental considerations:

■ Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) =1

■ Maximum Soldering temperature = 260C (in SMT reflow oven)

WEEE Directive

The WEEE Directive places an obligation on EU-based manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and importers to take­back electronics products at the end of their useful life. A sister directive, ROHS (Restriction of Hazardous
Substances) complements the WEEE Directive by banning the presence of specific hazardous substances in the
products at the design phase. The WEEE Directive covers all Multi-Tech products imported into the EU as of August
13, 2005. EU-based manufacturers, distributors, retailers and importers are obliged to finance the costs of recovery
from municipal collection points, reuse, and recycling of specified percentages per the WEEE requirements.

Instructions for Disposal of WEEE by Users in the European Union

The symbol shown below is on the product or on its packaging, which indicates that this product must not be
disposed of with other waste. Instead, it is the user's responsibility to dispose of their waste equipment by handing
it over to a designated collection point for the recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment. The separate
collection and recycling of your waste equipment at the time of disposal will help to conserve natural resources
and ensure that it is recycled in a manner that protects human health and the environment. For more information
