Regulatory Compliance & Safety Information for Wildix Products

• Wildix radio equipment is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC.

• Do not place Wildix radio products near an air conditioner, or near the outlets of a central air conditioner, radiator, in a very dusty environment, or in direct sunlight.

• Metal surfaces, electrical cables and water pipes can degrade reception and transmission signals. Do not place Wildix radio products on or on metal surfaces, and keep a minimum distance of 20cm / 7.87’’ from electrical leads and water pipes.

• Install Wildix radio products at a minimum distance of 100cm / 39″ to persons and animals.

• Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area, and always switch off Wildix radio devices when their use is prohibited or when they may cause interference or danger. Use Wildix radio devices only in its normal operating positions. Do not place credit cards or other magnetic storage media near the device, because information stored on them may be erased.

Interaction with medical devices

Medical devices might be adversely affected. Please consider the technical ramifications when installing Wildix radio devices in a doctor‘s office, for example. Operation of any equipment emitting radio frequency signals may interfere with the functionality of inadequately shielded medical devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external radio frequency (RF) energy or if you have any other questions concerning this topic. Switch off your device in health care facilities when signs posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

W-AIR DECT and medical devices

The low transmit power level generally permits operation of DECT handsets/ headsets in all environments; the exception being within a few feet of EKG, EEG, pulse oximetry, or similarly sensitive equipment typically found in certain areas of hospitals or medical offices. The general rule about electromagnetic compatibility for Wildix DECT handsets/ headsets is that units can be used wherever cellular phones can be used, and will be less of an electromagnetic compatibility challenge than a cellular phone because of the very much lower transmit signal level.

Implanted medical devices

Manufacturers of medical devices recommend that a minimum distance should be maintained between a radio device and an implanted medical device, such as pacemakers or cardioverter defibrillators, to avoid potential interference with the medical device. Persons who have such devices should:

• always keep the radio device more than 100 centimeters / 39 inches from the medical device when the wireless device is turned on,
• not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket,
• turn the radio device off immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
• read and follow the directions of the medical device‘s manufacturer.

If you have any questions about using your wireless device with an implanted medical device, consult your healthcare provider.

If you have an implanted pacemaker:

• Do not use if you have an implanted pacemaker unless the pacemaker manufacturer‘s directions expressly permit the use of devices emitting pulsating radio frequency signals. Always follow the manufacturer‘s directions!
• FOR THE USA: Do not use if you have a pacemaker.

Sensitive Electronic Equipment

The current state of research concludes that operational Wildix radio devices normally do not adversely affect electronic equipment. Nevertheless, you should take some precautions if you want to operate Wildix radio devices in the immediate vicinity of such equipment like sensitive laboratory equipment. Always keep a minimum distance of 10cm / 3.94“ to the equipment even when the radio device is in standby.

Maximum transmission power

Max. transmission power of Wildix W-AIR-series radio devices: EU: 250mW (24.0dBm); US: 100mW (20.0dBm).
