Safety

Read these safety instructions carefully.

Attention!

Sepura terminals are designed for use by mobile workforces, often working alone, and are intended for use in occupational and controlled conditions.

It is the responsibility of the person operating the product to ensure that it is operated safely at all times, and that local laws and regulations governing the usage of Radio Frequency (RF) products are observed.

This product must not be operated in environments that exceed those listed in the Regulatory section of the user guide.

Users must be trained to operate this product safely. Their personal safety could be affected if they do not understand how to operate this product correctly.

Exposure to RF energy

Sepura designs and manufactures products to meet strict guidelines and international standards relating to Radio Frequency energy and the potential health risks associated with using such products.

Sepura terminals contain low powered radio transmitters and receivers that receive and transmit Radio Frequency (RF) signals when switched on. The antenna radiates RF energy only when transmitting and not in standby mode.

Users should be informed of the potential health risks associated with long term exposure to RF energy by their employer.

RF energy interference with electronic equipment

Some personal medical devices, such as hearing aids and pacemakers, can be affected by RF energy. Always consult your service provider or the manufacturer of the medical device before using RF wireless devices.

Some electronic devices are sensitive to RF energy. Always obey signs restricting the use of wireless devices. It is recommended that the terminal be switched off when operating within health care facilities.

Safely operating the product

Users should always ensure that the terminal is operating correctly before entering any environment that has a potential risk to personal safety.

The terminal should be used in its normal operating position when hand-held, worn on the body or secured within a cradle. Always ensure that the antenna is pointed away from the body, particularly the eyes, during operation. When worn on the body, the terminal should be secured using a clip or body vest.

Operate the terminal in a vertical position and with the microphone 5 cm(2 in.) away from your mouth when transmitting.

When body-worn, the antenna must be at least 2.5 cm (1 in.) away from the body when transmitting.

The terminal has a loud speaker designed for hand-held and body-worn use. Never place the terminal close to your ear when receiving; it may damage your hearing. Always check the volume level before making and receiving calls.

Safety in hazardous environments

These terminals are not designed for use in potentially explosive environments where RF wireless devices could potentially cause an explosion. SWITCH OFF the terminal if you are unsure if the terminal is a risk in these environments. Potentially hazardous areas are not always signed. Obey all signs and instructions relating to the usage of RF wireless devices.

Do not use the terminal in the presence of gas fumes, explosives dust situations, nuclear facilities, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, around aircraft navigation and control systems, and weapons.

Quick Reference Guide

Switch off the terminal in blasting areas. It may interfere with blasting equipment. Always obey signs relating to the usage of wireless devices and two-way radios in blasting areas.

Safety when driving a vehicle

Always obey local laws and regulations governing the operation of RF wireless devices when driving and whilst at locations.

Do not operate the product if it creates a distraction from driving safely and observing road conditions.

Always switch the terminal off at refuelling stations. Always observe and obey warning signs relating to the use of RF wireless devices in the vicinity of refuelling stations.

Important safety notes about the Antenna

Never touch the antenna when the terminal is transmitting, this may affect the operational range of the antenna.

Never use the terminal if the antenna shows signs of damage. Do not touch a damaged antenna when the terminal is transmitting, this may cause a minor burn to the skin.

Never hold the terminal by its antenna. This may damage the antenna and the terminal.

Do not use the terminal without an antenna attached. Transmitting without an antenna may damage the terminal.

Operational Conditions

Do not exceed the operational conditions for the terminal and battery. Check the technical data for this product before operating in extreme conditions.

Leaving the terminal in extreme temperatures (over 55 oC or 131 oF), for example behind glass in direct sunlight may cause damage to the casing and the battery.
