Safety recommendations
Carefully read all of the cautions and warnings before using the radio:
• Do not use the radio equipment for uses different than those indicated in the present guide.
• For a correct use of the radio equipment, read what is listed in this guide.
• Do not place the PUMA T3 Ex radio above the airbags or in their area of action. If the
airbag is activated, it may not swell correctly and/or hurl the portable unit, with great
force, inside the passenger compartment where the vehicle occupants are located.
• Replace the batteries following the instructions given in the relative technical manual.
• Make sure that batteries are not damaged.
• Do not use the radio if the battery is damaged.
• Position the battery charger far from heat sources and in such a way as to guarantee
its correct aeration as well as safe accessibility to the network power supply outlet.
Do not use the battery charger outside of the environments for which it was specified
(ex. use in indoor environments only).
• For a safe use/maintenance/installation of the PUMA T3 Ex battery charger carefully
read the safety recommendations in the relative Technical Manuals.
• Do not use the PUMA T3 Ex radio if the antenna is damaged.
• Turn off the radio or, inhibit transmission, if the equipment allows it, in
electromagnetically sensitive environments (ex. hospitals, airports, etc.).
• The electronic devices are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if not
adequately shielded, designed or configured differently for electromagnetic fields
immunity.
If electromedical equipment (ex. pace-makers, acoustical equipment, etc.) is used
together with the PUMA T3 Ex radio, make sure that it is adequately shielded from
external electromagnetic fields.
• Carry out the maintenance interventions on the PUMA T3 Ex following the instructions
given in the technical manual.
• Follow all accident prevention standards when carrying out maintenance interventions
on the PUMA T3 Ex equipment and use the proper tools (spanners, screwdrivers, ...).
• First and second maintenance level interventions on the equipment are to be carried
out by authorized technicians only.
Third maintenance level interventions are to be carried out by OTE technicians only.
The maintenance levels are defined in the technical manual.
• Use only original accessories and spare parts, approved by the manufacturer, suitable
for the PUMA T3 Ex. The use of different accessories and/or spare parts (earphone,
antenna, etc.) makes the safety and electromagnetic compatibility certifications to be
valid no more and it could lower the user safety level and/or generate electromagnetic
fields that exceed the accepted limits.
• Follow the battery charger instructions in order to use it correctly.
• During voice calls, the PUMA T3 Ex use with its proper leather bag is recommended
in environments with temperature greater than 45°C.
• The emergency call is a priority type call.
The PUMA T3 Ex radio, like all mobile telephony equipment, operates with radio
frequency signals, therefore, the forwarding of the call depends on the network coverage
at the moment of the call.
• If you need send an emergency call, keep pressed the emergency button for at least
2 seconds; when the radio is switched on and the transmission is not inhibited.
• Even if the battery is discharged, the danger of explosion exist if the battery is
disposed on fire.
• Take the terminal only and exclusively into environments which the radio has been
certified for: Ex II 2 G EEx ib IIC T4
In any case, do not carry out connection operations between the radio and the
accessories in such environments.
• The radio unintegrity and/or hardware modifications or replacements not authorized
by the manufacturer can seriously jeopardize the intrinsic safety of the radio, and
make the certifications to be valid no more.
• Do not use the battery charger in environments that have a potentially explosive
atmosphere (ex. fuel storage sites, filling stations, etc.).
The use of the battery charger might trigger fires and/or explosions.
• Do not use the battery charger if the power supply cable and/or the plug are damaged.
• Do not cause short circuits between the battery terminals even if the battery is provided
of mechanical and electrical protections against accidental short circuits.
The radio complies with all product specifications and great care is taken by the manufacturer so
that user safety, as far as the effects of electromagnetic waves on health are concerned, is
guaranteed within the limits established by the international specifications.
In order to further increase the level of user safety, we invite you to take into consideration the
following additional precautions.
• The PUMA T3 Ex radio is equipped with an automatic system to control the power
transmitted so that the radio transmits at the maximum power only in cases of radio
coverage limit or emergency call.
Avoid touching the antenna when the radio is on and especially during transmission
because the ability of transmitting power gets worse. In fact, when the antenna is
touched, the PUMA T3 Ex radio automatically transmits at a greater power level than
that required, nevertheless the communication may be broken down or get qualitatively
worse.
• Avoid touching the equipment during data transmission.
• During voice communications in earphone mode hold the PUMA T3 Ex with the antenna
straight and above your shoulder and speak directly into the microphone.
• Hold the PUMA T3 Ex in the vertical positon and always at least 3 cm away from your
head during voice comunications in loudspeaker mode.
• Earphone kit is recommended when using the equipment in full-duplex mode for a long time.
• When using the earphone kit do not allow the cable to twist up around the radio forming
spirals.
