potentially explosive atmosphere.
Connect or disconnect cables or antennas only in the absence of a potentially explosive
atmosphere.

Avoid radio wave deflections
In order to ensure full functionality of the device antenna, the antenna must have a minimum
distance of 20 cm from any surrounding personnel or items when the device is in operation.
