HANDLING AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE: The instructions below apply to the device, its accessories,
batteries in use as well as batteries taken out of use.
• Dust and dirt may damage the moving parts of the device. Do not use or
keep the device in dusty or dirty surroundings.
• Do not open the device or battery by yourself or pierce holes in it.
• Rough handling may break the circuitry inside the device. Do not drop,
knock, twist or shake the device or its battery.
• Keep the device dry. Liquids contain minerals which could corrode
electronic circuits. If the device gets wet, turn it off and dry the device and
the battery immediately. Put the device into an upright position and let it
dry. It is recommended that a reseller or service personnel check that the
device functions properly.
• Even though the device is waterproof, do not wet the device
unnecessarily or immerse it in water.
• Protect the device from heat. High temperatures may shorten the life of
the electronical devices, melt or warp plastics and damage batteries. Do
not warm up the device or battery or use it near fire.
• Do not short-circuit the battery or battery contacts. Exposing the metal
strips of the battery to a close contact with a metallic object, such as a
coin, a clip or a set of keys can cause accidental short-circuiting and
damage the battery.
• Charge and recharge the battery only with the charger specified in the
Operating instructions/Quick Guide. Use the battery only for the purpose
it is intended.
• Clean the device with a soft cloth, dampened slightly with mild soapy
water. Do not clean the device with harsh chemicals, solvents or other
corrosive substances.
• Only allow service personnel authorised by the reseller to repair the

SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
TELEMATICS PROTOCOL
MPTP (Mobile Phone Telematic Protocol) allows, among other things,
tracking of the device over the SMS communication. Automatically sent
telematics messages are only allowed to authorised numbers configured in
the device. Such numbers can be, e.g. emergency and service center
numbers. Position of the device is retrieved by the GPS*, or by the network
parameters -the latter is a network-dependent service. The carrier for
telematics messages is an SMS-message. Deliveries of all messages is
fully handled by and in the responsibility of the GSM network operator and
services can vary substantially. The charge of a protocol message is
determined on the contract by the service provider.
GNSS/GPS*
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the government of the
United States, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and
maintenance. The system is subject to changes that could affect the
accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment.
EMERGENCY CALLS
The device is an aid and should never be relied upon as an only
emergency device. Its functionality is dependent on GSM network and
GPS satellites which may not be available all the time. To make
emergency calls, the device must be turned on and located in an area with
adequate GSM network signal strength.
Making an emergency call also requires GPS satellite coverage and a valid
SIM-card. Emergency calls may not be possible on all GSM phone
networks or when certain network services or phone features are in use. In
unclear cases, consult the network operator.
TWIG POINT NETLOC COSTS

Point Netloc is not working if the service renewal payment is not made after
the first year free of charge. Twig Com Ltd. does not take any
responsibility of any consequences due to a delay or non-payment
of the TWIG Point Netloc service use after the first year free of
charge.
