DR6400W Series Installation Guide 

Special Notes on GSM/3G Wireless Safety 

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 aerial is 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.
