2.2 General safety precautions
This section contains general safety precautions.
CAUTION
Harmful electromagnetic interference might be the result of having two radio
modules transmitting at the same time. The robot is certified to have only one radio
module active at any given time.
lDo not attach an access point or additional radio modules to the robot while it is
connected to a wireless network.
CAUTION
If the robot starts up unexpectedly, there is a risk of injury to nearby personnel or
damage to equipment.
lInform personnel that robots may start driving without any warning.
lDesign missions so the robot indicates to personnel that it will begin an action that
makes it move. You can, for example, use a Play sound or Show light action to
warn nearby personnel.
WARNING
If the robot is not running the correct software and is therefore not functioning
properly, the robot may collide with personnel or equipment causing injury or
damage.
lEnsure that the robot is always running the correct software.
WARNING
The robot may drive over the feet of personnel, causing injury.
lAll personnel must be informed of the side Protective fields of the robot and be
instructed to wear safety shoes near an operating robot.

WARNING
The robot may drive into a ladder, scaffold, or similar equipment that has a person
standing on it. Personnel risk fall injuries, and equipment may be damaged.
lDo not place ladders, scaffolds, or similar equipment in the robot's work
environment.
WARNING
The robot may drive down staircases or holes in the floor and cause serious injury to
personnel and damage to the robot and to equipment.
lMark all descending staircases and holes as Forbidden zones on maps.
lInstall physical barriers around descending staircases and holes that are in the
robot's operating area. If the hazard is not close to the robot's operating area, it
may be sufficient to use a Forbidden zone on its own.
lKeep the maps up to date.
lInform personnel that the robot cannot detect descending staircases and holes in
the floor in time to stop.
WARNING
Contact with live electrical parts can cause electric shock.
lDo not touch any internal components of the robot while it is powered.
CAUTION
This equipment is not intended for use in residential environments and may not
provide adequate protection to radio reception in such environments.
lDo not use the robot in residential environments.
