1 Safety Instructions
– Do not install the unit near a heating appliance.
– Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight.
– Do not install in a wet or humid environment.
– Do not attempt to disassemble the unit.
– It is recommended to maintain a minimum distance of 15
cm between a Carephone equipped with a GSM Module
and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference.
– Do not install a Carephone equipped with the GSM Module
and the external antenna in the proximity of DECT/GSM
telephones, TV sets, large metal objects, microwave
appliances or radio telephones. This will impair the
reception of signals from the wireless transmitter.
– Use only original equipment for the external antenna,
cables and power supply.
– Electrolytes or gases may be emitted from the GSM
Module battery should it leak under exceptional
circumstances. If this happens, deactivate the unit by
isolating it from the phone network and power supply.
Battery replacement must be carried out by trained service
personnel only.
CAUTION!
Read through these safety instructions carefully before
installing the external antenna in the GSM Module. They contain
important information about the connection, use and safety.
