The following safety instructions must be followed during installation and working with networks and the
software.
Mobile communication
• Make sure that a minimum distance of 20 cm is maintained to people during operation.
• The USB stick can be impaired in the vicinity of metal constructions or plants that emit electromagnetic
waves. Plan the distances and use the USB stick in such a way that the connection between the USB
stick and the mobile communication network is as unobstructed as possible.
• Do not allow any dust, liquids or vapors that could damage the USB stick to get inside it. Use the USB
stick together with the CU8210-M001-01x0 cabinet dome in order to protect it against environmental
influences.
Working with networks
• Restrict access to all devices to an authorized circle of persons.

passwords.

software such as viruses or Trojans.
