Precautionary labels

Read all labels and tags attached to the instrument. Personal injury or damage to the instrument could occur if not observed. A symbol on the instrument is referenced in the manual with a precautionary statement.
This is the safety alert symbol. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid potential injury. If on the instrument, refer to the instruction manual for operation or safety information.
This symbol indicates that a risk of electrical shock and/or electrocution exists.
This symbol indicates the presence of devices sensitive to Electro-static Discharge (ESD) and indicates that care must be taken to prevent damage with the equipment.
This symbol indicates radio waves.
Electrical equipment marked with this symbol may not be disposed of in European domestic or public disposal systems. Return old or end-of-life equipment to the manufacturer for disposal at no charge to the user.

Confined space precautions

D A N G E R
Explosion hazard. Training in pre-entry testing, ventilation, entry procedures, evacuation/rescue
procedures and safety work practices is necessary before entering confined spaces.
The information that follows is supplied to help users understand the dangers and risks that are associated with entry into confined spaces.
On April 15, 1993, OSHA's final ruling on CFR 1910.146, Permit Required Confined Spaces, became law. This standard directly affects more than 250,000 industrial sites in the United States and was created to protect the health and safety of workers in confined spaces.
Definition of a confined space:
A confined space is any location or enclosure that has (or has the immediate potential for) one or more of the following conditions:
• An atmosphere with an oxygen concentration that is less than 19.5% or more than 23.5% and/or a hydrogen sulfide (H2S) concentration that is more than 10 ppm.
• An atmosphere that can be flammable or explosive due to gases, vapors, mists, dusts or fibers.
• Toxic materials which upon contact or inhalation can cause injury, impairment of health or death.
Confined spaces are not designed for human occupancy. Confined spaces have a restricted entry and contain known or potential hazards. Examples of confined spaces include manholes, stacks, pipes, vats, switch vaults and other similar locations.
Standard safety procedures must always be obeyed before entry into confined spaces and/or locations where hazardous gases, vapors, mists, dusts or fibers can be present. Before entry into a confined space, find and read all procedures that are related to confined space entry.

Certification

Canadian Radio Interference-Causing Equipment Regulation, IECS-003, Class A:
English
5
Supporting test records reside with the manufacturer.
This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations: CAN ICES-3(A)/NMB-3(A).
Cet appareil numérique de classe A répond à toutes les exigences de la réglementation canadienne sur les équipements provoquant des interférences.
FCC Part 15, Class "A" Limits
Supporting test records reside with the manufacturer. The device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following conditions:
1. The equipment may not cause harmful interference.
2. The equipment must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at their expense. The following techniques can be used to reduce interference problems:
1. Disconnect the equipment from its power source to verify that it is or is not the source of the interference.
2. If the equipment is connected to the same outlet as the device experiencing interference, connect the equipment to a different outlet.
3. Move the equipment away from the device receiving the interference.
4. Reposition the receiving antenna for the device receiving the interference.
5. Try combinations of the above.

Wireless modem certification

The device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following conditions:
1. The equipment may not cause harmful interference.
2. The equipment must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Changes or modifications to this wireless communication equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. Any change to the equipment will void the Industry Canada certification and FCC grant. Changes and modifications include any modifications to the wireless modems and associated antennas, including antenna cables. Follow the manufacturer recommendations for product installation, configuration and wireless operation.

Cellular devices

N O T I C E
Network and access point security is the responsibility of the customer that uses the wireless instrument. The manufacturer will not be liable for any indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages caused by a breach in network security.

Pacemaker precautions. If electromagnetic interference (EMI) occurs, it can either:
• Stop the stimulating pulses from the pacemaker that control the rhythm of the heart.
• Cause the pacemaker to supply the pulses irregularly.
• Cause the pacemaker to ignore the rhythm of the heart and supply pulses at a set interval.
Current research shows that cellular devices are not a significant health problem for most pacemaker wearers. However, persons with pacemakers should use precautions to make sure that their device does not cause a problem. Keep the device a minimum of 20 cm (7.9 in.) from the user.
Electromagnetic radiation hazard. Make sure that the antenna is kept at a minimum distance of 20 cm (7.9 in.) from all personnel in normal use. The antenna cannot be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitters.
Electromagnetic radiation hazard. In portable applications, do not use the modem within 20 cm (7.9 in.) of the user.
