•
Responders do not require assembly or dismantling.
They do not contain any customer-replaceable parts, and no user adjustment is required.
Electrostatic Hazard
•
Responders must not be installed where external conditions could cause an electrostatic
build-up on their outer casing.
•
The Responder’s outer casing presents a static hazard and must only be cleaned using a
damp cloth.
Corrosive Substances
•
Responders should be protected from solvents, or acidic gases or liquids that may affect the
integrity of the outer case.
Transport
•
Responders must be transported in a suitable transit case.
Responder Colours
Each Responder uses one of four different modulation frequencies. These are characterised as
colours: Red, Yellow, Green and Blue. The colour of a Responder is clearly marked on the outside
of its case, and is shown next to its ID number on the Reflections and Extended Information panes
of the Dashboard.
This scheme makes it easier for the RadaScan View system to separate the signal from one
Responder from the signal from a Responder of a different colour. If you use more than one
Responder at once, then for best results make sure that you use a different colour for each
Responder.
FCC RF Exposure Safety Distance
•
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the transmitter and
may violate FCC regulations. To maintain compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure
guidelines, a distance of
≥
20 cm must be maintained between this device and personnel
.
