of the local authorities on frequencies and/or output power levels other
than those specically reserved and intended for use without a specic
permit. The internal and external radio modems have been designed to
operate on frequency ranges and output power ranges, the exact use of
which differs from one region and/or country to another.
1.5 Hazards of Use
DANGER
Risk of electrocution
Because of the risk of electrocution, it is dangerous to use poles, levelling
staffs and extensions in the vicinity of electrical installations such as power
cables or electrical railways.
Precautions:
▶Keep at a safe distance from electrical installations. If it is essential to
work in this environment, rst contact the safety authorities responsible
for the electrical installations and follow their instructions.
WARNING
Distraction/loss of attention
During dynamic applications, for example stakeout procedures, there is a
danger of accidents occurring if the user does not pay attention to the envir-
onmental conditions around, for example obstacles, excavations or trafc.
Precautions:
▶The person responsible for the product must make all users fully aware of
the existing dangers.

8 Safety Directions

WARNING
Inadequate securing of the working site
This can lead to dangerous situations, for example in trafc, on building sites
and at industrial installations.
Precautions:
▶Always ensure that the working site is adequately secured.
▶Adhere to the regulations governing safety, accident prevention and road
trafc.
CAUTION
Not properly secured accessories
If the accessories used with the product are not properly secured and the
product is subjected to mechanical shock, for example blows or falling, the
product may be damaged or people can sustain injury.
Precautions:
▶When setting up the product, make sure that the accessories are correctly
adapted, tted, secured, and locked in position.
▶Avoid subjecting the product to mechanical stress.
WARNING
Lightning strike
If the product is used with accessories, for example masts, staffs, poles, you
may increase the risk of being struck by lightning.
Precautions:
▶Do not use the product in a thunderstorm.
Safety Directions 9

DANGER
Risk of being struck by lightning
If the product is used with accessories, for example on masts, staffs, poles,
you may increase the risk of being struck by lightning. Danger from high
voltages also exists near power lines. Lightning, voltage peaks, or the touching
of power lines can cause damage, injury and death.
Precautions:
▶Do not use the product in a thunderstorm as you can increase the risk of
being struck by lightning.
▶Be sure to remain at a safe distance from electrical installations. Do not
use the product directly under or close to power lines. If it is essential to
work in such an environment contact the safety authorities responsible
for electrical installations and follow their instructions.
▶If the product has to be permanently mounted in an exposed location, it is
advisable to provide a lightning conductor system. A suggestion on how to
design a lightning conductor for the product is given below. Always follow
the regulations in force in your country regarding grounding antennas and
masts. These installations must be carried out by an authorised specialist.
▶To prevent damages due to indirect lightning strikes (voltage spikes)
cables, for example for antenna, power source or modem should be pro-
tected with appropriate protection elements, like a lightning arrester.
These installations must be carried out by an authorised specialist.
▶If there is a risk of a thunderstorm, or if the equipment is to remain
unused and unattended for a long period, protect your product addition-
ally by unplugging all systems components and disconnecting all connect-
ing cables and supply cables, for example, instrument - antenna.
WARNING
Inappropriate mechanical inuences to batteries
During the transport, shipping or disposal of batteries it is possible for inap-
propriate mechanical inuences to constitute a re hazard.
Precautions:
▶Before shipping the product or disposing it, discharge the batteries by the
product until they are at.
▶When transporting or shipping batteries, the person in charge of the
product must ensure that the applicable national and international rules
and regulations are observed.
▶Before transportation or shipping, contact your local passenger or freight
transport company.
WARNING
Exposure of batteries to high mechanical stress, high ambient temper-
atures or immersion into uids
This can cause leakage, re or explosion of the batteries.
Precautions:
▶Protect the batteries from mechanical inuences and high ambient tem-
peratures. Do not drop or immerse batteries into uids.
