Safety information
IMPORTANT!
Please read the following information carefully
before installing and using the Terra 800. Failing
to follow instructions may compromise the safety
of the product and may result in personal injury
and/or equipment damage. Please consult your
supplier if you have any further questions.
Refer to the appropriate section of this Terra 800
installation & user manual for additional safety
information.
• Store the system in a cool and dry area.
• Do not submerge the system in water.
• Do not place foreign metal objects or debris
in the system. If debris enters into the system,
please return to the manufacturer for service.
WARNING
DO NOT open equipment. There are no user-
serviceable parts inside.
If a DC power supply is to be used, its output must
comply with the Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV)
requirements of IEC60950.
All connectors must only be connected to equipment
ports which comply with the Safety Extra Low
Voltage (SELV) requirements of IEC60950.
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
• Obey all signs and instructions.
• Sparks may occur during cable installation
and could cause an explosion or re resulting
in bodily injury or even death.
• Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere
are often but not always clearly marked.
They include, but are not limited to:
»fuelling areas such as gasoline stations
»fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities;
»areas where fuel odors are present (for
example, if a gas/propane leak occurs in a
car or home);
»areas where the air contains chemicals
or particles, such as grain, dust, or
metal powders;
»any other area where you normally would
be advised to turn o your vehicle engine.
IMPORTANT
Cellular & satellite terminals or mobiles operate using
radio signals and communication networks. Because
of this, the connection cannot be guaranteed at all
times or under all conditions. Therefore, you should
never rely solely upon any wireless device for essential
communications, for example emergency calls.

• Do not operate your satelliteTerminal when
a person is within 55cm of the antenna. A
person or object within 55cm of the antenna
could impair call quality and may cause the
terminal to operate at a higher power level
than necessary and expose that person to RF
energy in excess of that established by the
FCC RF Exposure Guidelines.
• As a precaution, please maintain the
maximum body distance possible from the
antenna during call transmission.
Safety transceiver Terra 800
Your Terra 800 is a low power radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it
receives and also sends out radio frequency
(RF) signals.
• The Terra 800 has an in-built transceiver
which is designed to be used with an
external antenna. The antenna transmits RF
energy. The antenna (tted via an extension
coaxial cable to the cradle) must be located
more than 55cm from the human body
(person) when in operation.
• International agencies have set standards
and recommendations for the protection
of public exposure to RF electromagnetic
energy. These standards are based on
extensive scientic review by scientists,
engineers, and physicians from universities,
government health agencies, and industry
groups. They review the available body of
research to develop ANSI standard.These
ANSI standards are reviewed regularly for
research development.
