Electro Magnetic Interference/Compatibility
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility
conflicts, turn off your WDE1000 in any facility where
posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care
facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to exter-
nal RF energy.
Aircraft
When instructed to do so, turn off your WDE1000 when on
board an aircraft. Any use of a WDE1000 must be in
accordance with applicable regulations per airline crew
instructions.
Medical Devices
Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association
(AdvaMed) recommends that a minimum separation of 6
inches (15 cm) be maintained between a WDE1000 and a
pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with
those of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the WDE1000 more than 6 inches (15
cm) from their pacemaker when the WDE1000 is
turned ON.
• Turn the WDE1000 OFF immediately if you have any
reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless modem products may interfere with
some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you
may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to dis-
cuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately
shielded from RF energy. Your physician may be able to
assist you in obtaining this information.

Cleaning and Drying Considerations
This product is not water proof, and exposing the unit to
liquids may result in permanent damage to the unit.
If your WDE1000 interior gets wet, then do not try to accel-
erate drying with the use of an oven or a dryer as this will
damage the WDE1000 and void the warranty. Instead, do
the following:
1. Immediately power off the WDE1000.
2. Shake excess liquid from WDE1000.
3. Place the WDE1000 in an area that is at room tempera-
ture and has good air flow.
4. Let the WDE1000 dry for 72 hours before powering on
again.
If the WDE1000 does not work after following the steps
listed above, contact your dealer for servicing information.
Clean the external surfaces of the WDE1000 with a damp
cloth, using a mild solution of dishwashing detergent and
water. Some household cleaners may contain chemicals
that could seriously damage the WDE1000. Avoid the use
Nearly every electronic device is
susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI) if
inadequately shielded, designed
or otherwise configured for
electromagnetic compatibility.
NOTE
For Vehicle With Air Bags:
Do not place a WDE1000 in the area over an air bag
or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate
with great force. If a WDE1000 is placed in the air
bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the
WDE1000 may be propelled with great force and
cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your WDE1000 prior to entering any area
with a potentially explosive atmosphere. unless it is
a modem product type type especially qualified for
use in such areas as “Intrinsically Safe” (for
example, Factory Mutual, or CSA). Sparks in a
potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even
death.
The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres
referred to above include fueling areas such as
below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or
storage facilities, and areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal
powders, and any other area where you would
normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are
often but not always posted.
Blasting Caps and Blasting Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting
operations, turn off your WDE1000 when you are
near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or
in areas posted: "Turn off two-way radio." Obey all
signs and instructions.
