The TU600A unit is designed for vehicular use only.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic
equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals generated by the TU600A unit.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six (6”)
inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. The following precautions apply:
The TU600A unit is not intended for handheld use or to be worn on the body.
It is always recommended that a minimum separation of 8” inches (20 cm) to be maintained
between the TU600A unit and any persons’ body after end user installation.
Other Medical Devices
If any other personal medical devices are used in the vicinity of a TU600A unit, consult the
manufacturers of the medical devices to determine if they are adequately shielded from external
RF energy. Physicians may be able to assist in obtaining this information.
The TU600A unit cannot be turned off after installation, so any vehicle, moving machinery,
construction machinery installed with the TU600A etc. must not operate near health care facilities
when any regulations posted in these areas prohibit the use of wireless phones or two-way radios.
Hospitals and health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF
energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor
vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding the vehicle. Also consult the
manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to the vehicle.
The TU600A unit cannot be turned off after
installation; however, the unit is mostly asleep waiting
for either the wake-up timer or activity on the
acceleration sensor.
The unit operation can continue for approximately 3 to
4 days depending on the charging state of the backup
battery.
