protection for output circuits. If another power supply is used fuses, overcurrent protection or similar

protective components should be used.

○ In threshold mode the radio modem is capable of operation at an ambient temperature of up to 70

°C. In such cases the temperature of the surface of the radio modem may reach high values, par-

ticularly in the case of the high end model "P" – the modem temperature may be up to several tens

of degrees hotter than the ambient temperature, and therefore under these conditions the equipment

needs to be protected against accidential contact. We recommend that operators who plan on using

this threshold mode stick a warning sticker, in accordance with IEC 60417-5041 (DB:2002-10), on

a visible part of the radio modem, or attach a sticker with the following text:

CAUTION!

HOT SURFACE

DO NOT TOUCH

7.3. RoHS and WEEE compliance

The routers are fully compliant with the European Commission‟s RoHS (Restriction of Certain Hazardous

Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment) and WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic

Equipment) environmental directives.

Restriction of hazardous substances (RoHS)

The RoHS Directive prohibits the sale in the European Union of electronic equipment containing these

hazardous substances: lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls

(PBBs), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs).

End-of-life recycling programme (WEEE)

The WEEE Directive concerns the recovery, reuse, and recycling of electronic and

electrical equipment. Under the Directive, used equipment must be marked, collected

separately, and disposed of properly. Racom has instigated a programme to manage

the reuse, recycling, and recovery of waste in an environmentally safe manner using

processes that comply with the WEEE Directive (EU Waste Electrical and Electronic

Equipment 2002/96/EC).

Battery Disposal—This product may contain a battery. Batteries must be disposed of properly, and

may not be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste in the European Union. See the product docu-

mentation for specific battery information. Batteries are marked with a symbol, which may include let-

tering to indicate cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), or mercury (Hg). For proper recycling return the battery to

your supplier or to a designated collection point.
