SAFETY WARNINGS
Warning indicates a potentially hazardous situation which if not avoided will result in
death or serious injury, and/or property damage.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
To reduce the risk associated with electric shock resulting from contacting high voltage AC:
Turn power OFF before connecting wiring from our AC powered radar signs to the AC source.
To reduce the risk of electric shock related injury resulting from hazardous AC voltage:
Portions or this equipment derive power from sources that have high voltage levels. These must be serviced by
qualified personnel who have previous training or certification to safely work on high voltage equipment. Consult
a qualified electrician
.
BATTERY SAFETY
Battery acid may cause skin irritation and eye injury
.
To reduce the risk of burns or other acid related injury resulting
from handling lead-acid batteries:
Wear gloves, goggles, and an apron when handling batteries
Beware of cracked battery cases
Handle batteries with care
Batteries may produce explosive gas under some conditions. This gas may be ignited by a spark or flame as you
work near the battery. To reduce this risk of explosion:
Disconnect the battery
Work in a well-ventilated area
Avoid the use of devices that create sparks or use open flames
Use appropriate personal safety clothing and equipment
To reduce the risk of burns or other acid-related injury resulting from exploding batteries:
Always use the recommended charging systems with this product.
To reduce the risk associated with contamination of water supplies resulting from improper disposal of batteries
containing lead and acid:
Please dispose of batteries in accordance with all local government laws and regulations.
An accidental short circuit may instantly heat conductive jewelry, tools, and surrounding objects to skin-searing
temperatures. To reduce this risk when working around batteries:
Keep tools, jewelry and other conductive objects away from the battery terminals.
RADAR SAFETY
This product uses devices that radiate RF energy in the course of normal operation. Radar RF energy can be harm-
ful to the eyes. To reduce exposure to the risk of RF energy:
Do not stare into the radar antenna.
Keep a minimum safe distance of 8 inches (20 cm) from the display face.
PERSONAL SAFETY
To reduce the risk of impact hazards resulting from falls, accident with passing vehicle, and/or from use of unstable
equipment
:
Use appropriate work zone traffic control procedures, methods and equipment.
Strain or back injury may result from lifting equipment improperly. To reduce the risk of strain or back injury:
Use proper lifting techniques and have adequate help when lifting.
To avoid the possibility of injury due to falling or unstable equipment:
Be certain the radar speed sign is mounted to an appropriately rated pole or equivalent mounting surface.
