2.4 Electronic devices
Most electronic equipment, for example in hospitals and motor vehicles is shielded from RF
energy. However, RF energy may affect some malfunctioning or improperly shielded electronic
equipment.
2.5 Vehicle electronic equipment
Check your vehicle manufacturer’s representative to determine if any on board electronic
equipment is adequately shielded from RF energy.
2.6 Medical electronic equipment
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as pacemakers, hearing aids,
etc.) to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Turn your
DISCO-
B5-MAGNET
device OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in the area
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using RF monitoring equipment.
2.7 Aircraft
Turn your
DISCO-B5-MAGNET
OFF before boarding any aircraft. Use it on the ground only with
crew permission. Do not use it in the air.
To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
regulations require you to have permission from a crew-member to use your modem while the
plane is on the ground. To prevent interference with cellular systems, local RF regulations
prohibit using your modem whilst airborne.
2.8 Children
Do not allow children to play with your
DISCO-B5-MAGNET
device. It is not a toy. Children
could hurt themselves or others (by poking themselves or others in the eye with the antenna,
for example). Children could damage the modem or make calls that increase your modem bills.
2.9 Blasting areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your device OFF when in a “
blasting area
”
or in areas posted:
„turn off two-way radio“
. Construction crew often uses remote control RF
devices to set off explosives.
2.10 Potentially explosive atmospheres
Turn your
DISCO-B5-MAGNET
device
OFF
when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere. It is rare, but your modems or their accessories could generate sparks. Sparks in
such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They
include fuelling areas such as petrol stations; below decks on boats; fuel or chemical transfer
or storage facilities; and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust
or metal powders. Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives, in the
compartment of your vehicle, which contains your modem or accessories.
