1.3 SAFETY AND HAZARDS
At least 20 cm separation distance between the antennas
and persons must be maintained at all times.
Do not operate your Node with internal or external cellular
modem:
•
In areas where blasting is in progress
•
Where explosive atmospheres may be present including
refuelling points, fuel depots, and chemical plants
•
Near medical equipment, life support equipment, or any
equipment which may be susceptible to any form of radio
interference. In such areas, the Node and the cellular
modem MUST BE POWERED OFF. Otherwise, the cellular
modem can transmit signals that could interfere with this
equipment.
•
In an aircraft, the Node and the cellular modem MUST
BE POWERED OFF. Otherwise, the Node and the cellular
modem can transmit signals that could interfere with various
onboard systems and may be dangerous to the operation of
the aircraft or disrupt the cellular network. Use of a cellular
phone in an aircraft is illegal in some jurisdictions. Failure to
observe this instruction may lead to suspension or denial of
cellular telephone services to the offender, or legal action or
both. Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones
while the aircraft is on the ground and the door is open. The
Node and the cellular modem may be used normally at this
time.
