TAKING CARE OF YOUR GDB PAGER
Whilst your pager has a rugged design, it should be treated with the appropriate care. The
suggestions below will help protect your pager and the warranty coverage.
•
Keep your pager dry, where possible.
•
Do not use or store your pager in dusty or dirty areas, where possible.
•
Do not store your pager in hot areas exceeding 50 degrees Celsius. High temperatures
can shorten the life and potentially damage the batteries.
•
Do not store your pager in cold areas. When the pager returns to its normal
temperature, moisture can form inside your pager and damage electronic circuit
boards.
•
To clean smudges and grime from the exterior of your pager, use a soft non-abrasive
cloth moistened in a mild soap and water solution. Use a second cloth moistened in
clean water to wipe the surface clean. Do not immerse in water. Do not use alcohol or
other cleaning solutions.
•
Do not attempt to open your pager. Your pager has an anti-tamper device that will
erase the memory and render it useless. Do not let your pager be disassembled by any
unauthorised person. This will invalidate the warranty.
•
Use only the supplied or an approved external antenna repeater unit. Unauthorised
antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the device, invalidate your
warranty and may violate regulations governing radio devices.
•
If repair is required, GDB offers repair and maintenance facilities. Contact your service
provider for the location of the nearest service facility.
