read them to assess their relevance. 

Area 

Note 

Enclosures 

Do not remove any factory installed screws or fastenings. Damage to the units 
may result and void any warranties. 

Only authorised, trained personnel should open the product. There are no 
functions that required the user to gain access to the interior of the product. 
There are no user serviceable parts inside. 

Environment 

The equipment should not be used in hazardous or corrosive atmospheres. Users 
are reminded of the necessity of complying with restrictions regarding the use of 
radio devices in fuel depots, chemical plants and locations where explosives are 
stored and/or used. 

Power supply 

Ensure that the power supply arrangements are adequate to meet the stated 
requirements of each product. Observe all electrical safety precautions. 

Electro static 
discharge (ESD) 
precautions 

ESD guidelines must be followed when necessary. 

Lightning strike 

There is a risk of lightning strike to antennas. The equipment should not be 
assembled in an area at the time of lightning activity. Antennas should be 
adequately protected from lightning strikes. 

Working at height 

Observe caution when locating the device at height, for example on a mast. 
Ensure the unit is well secured to prevent it falling and injuring personnel. 

Cables 

Connecting cables should not be positioned where they are likely to become 
damaged or where they may present a trip hazard. 

Thermal control 
system 

Any powered device will always produce heat as a by-product of its operation. If 
you operate this device in an enclosed space you must ensure it has adequate 
airflow to keep it cool.

your device and your body while the device is transmitting. 

Aircraft safety 

Use of this equipment on board aircraft is strictly forbidden. Use of radio 
transmitter equipment in an aircraft can endanger navigation and other systems.
