Safety and re ulatory information
Users must observe the safety precautions and regulatory guidelines outlined in this
manual, as well as good technical judgment, whenever this product is installed or used.
Product handlin and environmental uidelines
Electric current from power and communication cables is hazardous. To avoid
shock hazard when connecting or disconnecting cables, follow appropriate
safety precautions. Ensure that the correct operating voltage is used when
powering the device.
Do not open the equipment to perform any adjustments, measurements, or
maintenance until all power supplies have been disconnected.
The ZyWAN is equipped wit
h a certain level of protection against power surges.
However, to ensure maximum protection, or when using in areas susceptible to
electrical disturbances and lightning, use of an external surge suppressor is
strongly recommended.
Anti-static handling
The ZyWAN includes a circuit board which contains CMOS devices that could be
damaged in the event of static electricity discharged through them. At all times, please
observe anti-static precautions when handling the product.
Batteries
The ZyWAN contains a coin-type replaceable Lithium battery to maintain its real-time
clock when input power is removed. During shipment the battery is disconnected and
should be connected before using the board, or else the real-time clock will be reset on
loss of power. Please refer to the link section of this manual for details.
To avoid possible injury or death:
• Do not short circuit the batteries or place in water or on a metal surface
where the battery terminals could be shorted. Do not incinerate or heat to
more than 100 °C (212 °F). Do not crush or otherwise disassemble the
battery, or attempt to repair the battery.
• Do not recharge. The batteries are non-rechargeable. There is a danger of
explosion if a lithium battery is recharged or incorrectly replaced.
• Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions and
local ordinances.

Packaging
Should a product need to be returned to Arcom, please ensure that it is adequately
packed, preferably in the original packing material. If the original packing material is not
available, return the product in an anti-static bag contained within a box that provides
suitable physical protection.
RoHS Compliance
The European RoHS Directive (Restriction on the Use of Certain Hazardous
Substances - Directive 2002/95/EC) limits the amount of six specific substances within
the composition of the product. The ZyWAN and associated accessory products are
available as RoHS-6 compliant. A full RoHS Compliance Materials Declaration Form is
available upon request. Further information about RoHS compliance is available on the
Arcom Web site at www.arcom.com/RoHS_and_WEEE.
Radio frequency requirements
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
conditions:
1 This device may not cause harmful interference.
2 This device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
3 To comply with RF safety requirements, you must maintain a distance of 20 cm
from the antenna when operating the device.
4 Each antenna of this device must not be co-located with (within 20 cm of) any
other antenna or transmitter. Antenna requirements are listed in the FCC grant
information for each module, below.
Changes or modifications to the product not expressly approved by Arcom could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
The ZyWAN is classified as a component with regard to the European Community EMC
regulations and it is the user’s responsibility to ensure that systems using the product
are compliant with the appropriate EMC standards.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules and European Community EMC
regulations. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there
is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can

ZyWAN User Manual Safety and regulatory information
© 2008 Arcom Issue D 9
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one of the following measures:
1 Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2 Use shielded RJ-45 cables for the Ethernet connections.
3 Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
4 Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
5 Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
