WARRANTY AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

 

Read these safety instructions carefully before using the product: 

  

o

 

Warranty will be void, if the product is used in any way that is in contradiction with the 

instructions  given  in  this  manual,  or  if  the  radio  modem  housing  has  been  opened  or 

tampered with.  

 

o

 

The radio modem is only to be operated at frequencies allocated by local authorities, and 

without  exceeding  the  given  maximum  allowed  output  power  ratings.  SATEL  and  its 

distributors are not responsible, if any products manufactured by it are used in unlawful 

ways.  

 

o

 

The devices mentioned in this manual are to be used only according to the instructions 

described in this manual. Faultless and safe operation of the devices can be guaranteed 

only if the transport, storage, operation and handling of the devices is appropriate. This 

also applies to the maintenance of the products.  

 

 

4.1

 

Handling the battery operated device and safety issues 

 

To maximize the device battery life a certain precautions should be noticed. If the device is left 

unused for a long period of time a charging could take place to prevent battery going totally 

empty. The best way to realize the battery capacity is that if the battery indicator LED is Red or 

the device won’t start normally from the power button. These both conditions indicate that the 

battery has ran or is running empty.  

 

The best temperature for storing the device is the normal room temperature, 20°C. 

 

If the batteries cannot maintain a charge for long periods of time or they charge not normal 

way, this may indicate that the battery is defect. 

 

The performance and life expectancy of the battery depends heavily on how the batteries are 

used. Misusing the battery operated device may cause the battery to get hot, break or ignite and 

cause serious injury. Be sure to follow the safety rules listed below: 

 

 

Do not place the device in fire or heat the device with external source. 

 

Do not open or modify the device by any means. 

 

Do not mechanically abuse the device over its limits or otherwise subject it to strong 

impacts or shocks. 

 

Do not use the device to any other purpose that it is intended to. 

 

Do not use the device if, while using, charging, or storing the device, the device emits an 

unusual smell, leaks or appears abnormal in any other way.
