User's Manual

Nordic ID PL3000 user manual, v. 2.6, October 2006 84

7.2.1 Medical equipment compatibility

Medical devices, such as pacemakers, hearing aids, etc. are usually manufactured according to the IEC

601-1-2 standard, which requires that devices must operate properly in an EM (Electromagnetic) ﬁ eld which

has strength of 3V/m over a frequency band from 26 to 1000 MHz.

Persons using pacemakers should be aware of the possible risk of interference from any electronic device

if positioned too close to the pacemaker.

When using WLAN, Bluetooth, GPRS, GSM or other features, which emit radio frequency signal, please

verify that the model in question fulﬁ ls the required standards.

7.2.2 Wireless networks and microwave equipment

When equipped with a WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) adapter or Bluetooth, users should be aware

that Bluetooth and most Wireless LAN networks operate at the frequency of 2.4 GHz. Many microwave

products, e.g. microwave ovens, operate at the same frequency. Therefore, in environments containing such

products, performance degradation may be noticed. In most cases all effected equipment will continue to

operate normally, excluding data transfer speed, which may be slower than normal due to the increased

need for error correction.

7.2.3 LED safety

Some conﬁ gurations of Nordic ID PL3000 include an LED-sighting device in the imager. This sighting device

is Class 1 LED Product Certiﬁ ed to IEC 60825-1 Ed.1.2 2001. Class 1 LED products are safe under reasonably

foreseeable conditions of operation, including the use of optical instruments for intra-beam viewing.

7.2.4 Laser safety

Some Conﬁ gurations of Nordic ID PL3000 include a laser-sighting device located in the imager. The sighting

device is Class 2 Laser Product Certiﬁ ed to IEC 60825-1 Ed. 1.2 2001, which may cause eye injury if the

beam is directed straight or via a reﬂ ecting surface to the eye. The laser beam should never be pointed at

the eye of a person or an animal. Mirror or reﬂ ecting surfaces may cause the beam to deﬂ ect in harmful

ways. Never look directly into the laser module when the beam is active.
