Safety Warning
WARNING: To avoid injury, please read all the following operating instructions and safety
information in detail before using BE905A2 unit.
GENERAL
When installing the BE905A2 in the vehicle, place the device securely so that it doesn't
obstruct the driver's view of the road or interfere with vehicle operating controls, such
as the steering wheel, car pedals or gear shift.
The air bag in the vehicle will inflate with great force. Do not place this MDT and its
accessories around the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area.
Before using the suction cup mount on your windshield, check State and local laws
and ordinances where you drive. Some State laws prohibit drivers from using suction
mounts on their windshields while operating motor vehicles. Other State laws allow the
suction mount to be located only in specific locations on the windshield. Many other
States have enacted restrictions against placing "non-transparent material" on the
windshield or placing objects on the windshield in locations that obstruct the driver's
vision.
Check and follow local laws regarding MDT device usage.
DRIVING
Do not be distracted by this device when driving, and please be aware of all driving
conditions always.
For your safety, we recommend you NOT operating BE905A2 while driving. To avoid
accident, please operate this device after the vehicle is stopped.
BATTERY
Do not use a sharp object to remove the battery pack.
Do not disassemble, puncture or damage the battery pack.
If using an AC charger or external battery charger, suggest only use the accessory
approved for this product.
Only replace the battery pack with the same or equivalent replaceable battery. To
purchase a replacement battery, please contact your distributor.
HEAT
Avoid touching the surface of heat sink located at the back side of MDT with burns and
scalds in your hand. Its function is cooling the device by dissipating heat into
surrounding air so that it would be normal to get warm when using MDT.
