Explosive Environments; Medical Devices - NetComm NWL-15 Quick Start Manual

If your device or its accessories have been submerged in water punctured or subjected to a severe
fall, do not use until they have been checked at an authorised service centre.
Interference
Care must be taken when using the device in close proximity to personal medical devices, such as
pacemakers and hearing aids.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15cm be maintained between
a device and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
Hearing aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience interfering noises when using
wireless devices or when one is nearby.
The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing device and the distance from the
interference source, increasing the separation between them may reduce the interference. You may
also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Medical devices

Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to determine if operation of your device
may interfere with the operation of your medical device.
Hospitals
Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so in hospitals, clinics or health care facilities.
These requests are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical equipment.
Interference in cars
Please note that because of possible interference to electronic equipment, some vehicle
manufacturers forbid the use of devices in their vehicles unless an external antenna is included in
the installation.

Explosive environments

Petrol stations and explosive atmospheres
In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all posted signs to turn off wireless devices
such as your device or other radio equipment. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include
fuelling areas, below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the
air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Blasting caps and areas
Turn off your device or wireless device when in a blasting area or in areas posted turn off "two-way
radios" or "electronic devices" to avoid interfering with blasting operations.
