  Confidential & Proprietary Information

9150-0125-01 R-1  

Warning – Modifications:

 Changes or modifications to the ST100 not expressly approved by the party responsible for 

compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 

Warning – Blasting Area:

 To avoid interference with blasting operations, turn your ST100 off when in a “Blasting Area” or in 

areas posted “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions. 

Warning – Potential Explosive Atmosphere:

 Turn off the ST100 or any product with the ST100 installed when in any area with 

a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. (End products specifically designed to work in Explosive 
Atmospheres are to follow their certification guidelines.)

Warning – Pacemakers:

 The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six (6") 

inches be maintained between the ST100 and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. 

Warning – Hearing Aids:

 Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. In order to prevent such 

interference, you may want to consult the manufacturer of your hearing aid.
