Wireless compliance
Wireless devices use radio frequencies that may be regulated, but regulations differ from country to
country. Wireless devices that conform to IEEE standards 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n,
802.16e, and others, are designed for, or certified for use in, specific countries. Certificates of
Radio Frequency (RF) Compliance from wireless device manufacturers for wireless devices
integrated into Hypertherm products can be found in the “Downloads library” at
www.hypertherm.com.
The user of Hypertherm products that have integrated wireless devices is responsible for ensuring
that each wireless device has been certified for the country of use and configured with the correct
selection of frequency and channel for the country of use. Wireless devices that are integrated into
Hypertherm products are not allowed to be operated in countries where regulations for wireless
device certification have not been satisfied. Any wireless device or antennae modification or
deviation from the permissible configuration, markings, power, frequency settings, and other local
regulations on radio frequency wireless device for the country of use can be an infringement of
national law.
