HAPSITE Smart Operating Manual
4.7 Turning the Radio Off
If wireless communication is not desired, the radio on the HAPSITE Smart can be
turned off. See
Table 4-5 for directions.
NOTE: When the HAPSITE radio is on, even if wireless communication is not
being used, a radio signal is being transmitted. The only way to eliminate
the radio signal is to turn the radio off.
Table 4-5 Turning the HAPSITE Wireless Radio Off
Step Description
DANGER
The HAPSITE contains a wireless transmitter/receiver that emits
electromagnetic radiation (EMR). This radiation in a tactical or operational
environment may potentially be used to locate the HAPSITE and its
operators. This radiation also has the potential to detonate some types of
unexploded ordnance (UXO), or improvised explosive devices (IEDs), or
both, if the HAPSITE is transmitting in the safety exclusion area around the
device(s). Discussed below is a hardware switch to turn off the wireless radio
so that the HAPSITE may still be used in areas where these hazards are a
concern. Consult applicable regulations and policies when using the
HAPSITE with the wireless device active in such environments.
1 Open the front panel of the HAPSITE.
2 Remove the cover from the power switch (for the wireless radio). It is
located on the far left hand side. To remove, unscrew the cover by turning
it counter-clockwise.
3 Press the button until a click is heard. The green lights adjacent to “Radio”
and “WLAN” should extinguish. When the green lights are extinguished,
the power to the wireless radio is off.
4 Replace the switch cover by placing it over the switch. Turn it clock-wise until finger tight.
