Safety Precautions 

Observe the following safety precautions whenever the BodyGuard system is in operation or in service. 
Failure to comply with these precautions violates the safety standards of the design, manufacture and 
intended use of the product. 

 
 

Important 

 

BodyGuard proximity detection and warning system is intended to be an aid to the driver and is not 
intended in any way to replace existing safety processes or remove or minimise the driver’s diligence 
and/or duty of care. 

The  Bodyguard  system  receives  and  transmits  radio  frequency  energy  while  switched  on,  therefore 
interference may  occur if  the  system is  located  near  TVs,  radios,  PCs  or  any  inadequately  shielded 
equipment. 

Due  to  the  nature  of  wireless  systems, transmission  and  reception  of  data  will  not  guaranteed.  Data 
may  be  corrupted  (i.e.  Have  errors)  or  be  totally  lost  at  certain  times  due  to  the  environment,  other 
machinery  or  malfunction  of  electronic  components.  Significant  loss  of  data  is  rare  when  wireless 
devices, such as the BodyGuard system, used normally. 

The BodyGuard system should not be used in 

situations, or in any manner, where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any kind 
to the user or any other party, including but not limited to personal injury, death or loss of property

. Orbit 

Communications Pty Ltd accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from errors in data 
transmitted or received using the BodyGuard systems, or for the failure of the BodyGuard system to 
transmit or receive such data.  

 

Do not operate the  BodyGuard system in areas where blasting is in progress, where 
explosive atmospheres may be present, near medical equipment, near life support 
equipment, or any equipment which may be susceptible to any form of radio interference, in 
such areas, BodyGuard system must be powered OFF.  
 

 

Do not operate BodyGuard system in any aircraft, whether the aircraft is on the ground or in 
flight. In an aircraft, the BodyGuard system must be OFF.  

The information in Orbit Communications Pty Ltd documents are subject to change without notice and 
do not represent a commitment on the part of Orbit Communications Pty Ltd.  

Orbit Communications Pty Ltd and its affiliates specifically disclaim liability for any and all direct, indirect, 
special, general, incidental, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages including, but not limited to, 
loss of profits or revenue or anticipated profits or revenue arising out of the use or inability to use any 
Orbit Communications Pty Ltd product, even if Orbit Communications Pty Ltd and/or its affiliates have 
been advised of the possibility of such damages or they are foreseeable or for claims by any third party. 

Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  in  no  event  shall  Orbit  Communications  Pty  Ltd  and/or  its  affiliates 
aggregate  liability  arising  under  or  in  connection  with  the  Orbit  Communications  Pty  Ltd  product, 
regardless of the number of events, occurrences or claims giving rise to liability, be in excess of the 
price paid by the purchaser for the Orbit Communications Pty Ltd product.
