• Always ensure that the use of the modem is permitted. The modem may present a hazard if used in
proximity to personal medical electronic devices. As a rule, the modem must not be used in hospitals,
airports or planes.
• Never use the modem at a gas station, refueling point, blasting area or in any other environment where
explosives may be present.
• Operating the modem close to other electronic devices, such as antennas, television sets, and radios may
cause electromagnetic interference.
• This product is intended to be used with the antenna or other radiating element at least 20cm away from

6.2. General precautions
The MTX-IND-V2 Terminal as a standalone item is designed for indoor use only. For outdoor use it must be
integrated into a weatherproof enclosure. Do not exceed the environmental and electrical limits as
specified in “Technical Data”.

serviced by the user. If you attempt to dismantle the modem, you may invalidate the warranty.
• The MTX-IND-V2 Terminal must not be installed or located where the surface temperature of the plastic
case may exceed 85°C.
• All cables connected to the MTX-IND-V2 Terminal must be secured or clamped, immediately adjacent to
the modem's connectors, to provide strain relief and to avoid transmitting excessive vibration to the
modem during the installation.

battery or a high current supply, connect a fast 1.25A fuse in line with the positive supply.
