Important Safety Information
Safety Definitions
The following Caution and Warning definitions are intended to advise the driver when it is
safe to use a display unit.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in
minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
Safety Advice
The following Safety Advice is provided for drivers, installers, and application developers who
use and/or locate all types of display units.
If you are a Driver, do not use a display unit when the vehicle is in motion.
If you are an Installer, do not locate the display unit, including third-party devices, where it
obstructs the driver’s field of vision, distracts the driver from the driving task, or interferes with
the driver’s operation of controls or instruments. The following is displayed when ignition is
turned on.
If you are a Third-party Device Manufacturer or Application Developer, it is your
responsibility to provide appropriate warnings regarding the safe use of your device(s) in
conjunction with Omnitracs equipment. Applications should not require the driver to divert his
attention from the road while driving a vehicle.
