such as a pacemaker, a hearing aid or insulin pump, etc.
Switch this device off when you are near gas or flammable liquids.
Strictly obey all
signs and instructions posted in any potentially explosive atmosphere.
17.9
Explosive Device Proximity Warning
Turn off your device in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and follow all posted
signs and instructions. These areas include places where you would normally be advised to
turn off your vehicle engine, as sparks could cause an explosion or fire, leading to injury or
death. Turn off the device at refueling points, such as near gas pumps at service stations, and
adhere to restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, storage and distribution
areas, chemical plants, or areas with blasting operations. Potentially explosive atmospheres
are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include locations such as below deck on boats,
chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (e.g., propane or
butane), and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal
powders. Do not use your device when wireless phone use is prohibited or when it may cause
interference or danger.
Warning: Do not operate a portable transmitter (including this wireless adapter device)
near unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive environment unless the transmitter has
been modified to be qualifies for such use.
Warning: The wireless adapter is not designed for use with high-gain
directional
antennas

Wireless adapter regulatory information
Warning: For safety reasons, turn off all wireless or radio
transmitting devices
when using your device under the following
conditions.
Always follow any special regulations in force in any area, and switch off your device when its
use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger. Use the device only in its
normal operating positions. This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used as intended.
To successfully transmit data files or messages, a good quality connection to the network is
required. Sometimes, data transmission may be delayed until such a connection is available.
Note that parts of the device are magnetic. Metallic materials may be attracted to it, and
individuals with hearing aids should avoid holding the device close to their ear with the
hearing aid. Keep credit cards or other magnetic storage media away from the device, as the
information stored on them may be erased.
Aircraft
Warning: FCC and FAA regulations may prohibit the use of radio-frequency wireless devices (wireless
adapters) during flight, as their signals could interfere with critical aircraft instruments. Always consult
airport staff and cabin crew before activating your device’s wireless adapter while on board.
The wireless adapter and your health
The wireless adapter, like other radio devices, emits radio frequency electromagnetic energy.
However, the energy emitted by the wireless adapter is less than that emitted by other wireless
devices, such as mobile phones. The wireless adapter operates within the guidelines established by
radio frequency safety standards and recommendations. These standards are based on the
consensus of the scientific community, formed through deliberations of panels and committees of
scientists who continuously review and interpret extensive research literature. In certain situations
or environments, the use of the wireless adapter may be restricted by the proprietor of the building
