Safety precautions for the user
The following notes refer to the M20/M20 Terminal Cellular Engine AND to applications based on M20/M20 Terminal.
The manufacturer of an application based on the M20/M20 Terminal must incorporate these safety precautions in his/her
instruction manual.
2.1
Electrical safety
The highest internal voltage applied to the M20 is 6 V; no special precautions are thus required to protect users against
high voltages (see Chapter
2.2
Aircraft safety
Cellular engines can interfere with an aircraft’s navigation system and its cellular network. The use of M20/M20 Terminal
on board aircraft is forbidden by law. Failure to comply with this prohibition may lead to temporary suspension or perma-
nent cancellation of cellular engine services for the person who infringes this prohibition and/or to legal action against
said person.
2.3
Environments with explosive substances
a) Users are advised not to use the device in automotive service stations.
b) Users are reminded of the necessity to comply with restrictions regarding the use of radio devices in fuel depots, che-
micals plants and locations where explosives are ignited.
2.4
Safety on the road
a) It is not permitted to signal incoming calls by sounding the vehicle’s horn or flashing the lights.
b) Drivers are advised not to use the hand-held microphone or the telephone handset while their vehicle is in motion, ex-
cept in the case of emergency. Use the handsfree facility to speak only if it does not divert your attention from the traffic.
2.5
Non-ionizing radiation
As is the case with other mobile radio transmitters, operating personnel are advised to use the device in the normal ope-
rating position only in order to ensure optimum performance and safety.
2.6
Electronics in medical equipment
Radio transmitters, including cellular engines, can interfere with the operation of inadequately protected medical devices.
Please address all questions to a doctor or the manufacturer of the medical device.
