Safety Precautions
The Prophet
™
uses Radio Frequency (RF) waves for communication to the nearest
cellular tower and can transmit at several times the power of a hand-held cellular phone.
In general, if you can place a cellular telephone call in the location where you wish to
install the unit, then the Prophet should be able to communicate properly. However,
because of the inherent characteristics of RF communications, there are certain guidelines
that should be followed when positioning the unit.
WARNING!
•
Do not
use the Prophet
™
in hospitals or near medical equipment.
•
Do not
install the Prophet
™
where hazardous vapors are present.
•
Do not
use the Prophet
™
where blasting is in progress.
•
Electrostatic discharge can damage sensitive electronic components. Be sure to
discharge yourself by touching a grounded metal object before opening the unit.
•
The unit should be installed in an area free from overhanging metal structures, large
obstructions, or equipment which could generate RF or electrical interference.
•
Do not
install the unit below ground level unless provisions are made for an external
antenna.
•
Service may be limited in areas that do not have GSM cellular coverage and support
SMS (Short Message Service).
•
If the unit is installed in an area with poor signal strength, an external antenna may be
required for reliable performance. If you have doubt about the suitability of a
particular location for the Prophet
™
, or are having difficulty transmitting, please see
Sections 3-2 and 3-3. If an external antenna is required, several optional antennas are
available. Please contact SupplyNet Customer Service to determine your exact needs.

When you receive the Prophet
™
unit, thoroughly inspect it for any damage which may

™
, contact the
shipping company as soon as possible. Locate the packing checklist in the shipping
container. Check for any missing items before you begin installation of the Prophet
™
.
Note:
The Prophet
™
is shipped with the antenna disconnected. It is located in a
separate area within the shipping carton. Verify that the antenna is present
before proceeding.
