Safety Information
Read important safety information about your device.
Important Notice
Due to the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of data can never be
guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors) or be totally lost. Although
significant delays or losses of data are rare when wireless devices such as the NETGEAR Zing
Mobile Hotspot are used in a normal manner with a well-constructed network, your device
should not be used in situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage
of any kind to the user or any other party, including but not limited to personal injury, death, or
loss of property. NETGEAR accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from
delays or errors in data transmitted or received using your device, or for failure of your device to
transmit or receive such data.
Safety and Hazards
Do not operate your device under the following conditions.
● In areas where blasting is in progress
● Where explosive atmospheres may be present
● Near medical equipment
● Near life support equipment, or any equipment that may be susceptible to any form of
radio interference.
In such areas, your device MUST BE POWERED OFF. Your device can transmit signals that
could interfere with this equipment.
Do not operate your device in any aircraft, whether the aircraft is on the ground or in flight. In
aircraft, your device MUST BE POWERED OFF. When operating, your device can transmit
signals that could interfere with various onboard systems.
Note: Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while the aircraft is on the ground
and the door is open. Your device may be used at this time.
The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the device while in control of a vehicle.
Doing so will detract from the driver or operator’s control and operation of that vehicle. In some
jurisdictions, operating such communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offense.
