GPS 535v in the intended environment, please contact your sales point or our hotline/help desk.
Safety notes
!
Observe the safety notes in the "Safety" manual and the following safety notes to prevent
damage to your device, data loss or injuries.
•During installation and before operating the device, observe the instructions on environmental
conditions in the "Technical data" chapter.
•The included Power adapter complies with the requirements of the country in which you
purchased the Pharos Traveler GPS 535v. Make sure the Power adapter is approved for the
country in which it is used.
•The Power adapter may only be connected to an electrical outlet when the Pharos Traveler
GPS 535v or the cradle is connected to the Power adapter.
•Do not use the Power adapter for other devices.
•Do not use power adapters which are not specially approved for this Pharos Traveler GPS
535v.
•You may only operate the Pharos Traveler GPS 535v with the Power adapter if the nominal
voltage of the Power adapter (100 V to 240 V) matches the local mains voltage.
•When transporting the device and on a trip, observe the information in the section "Underway
with the Pharos Traveler GPS 535v".
•The high transmitting power of the consumer infrared interface (CIR) may cause technical
problems for infrared devices (e.g. mobile phone, PDA) which are not suitable for CIR or are too
close to the transmitter. Before you set up an Infrared data connection to a device such as a
mobile phone or PDA, check that the CIR is not active or not currently being used by another
program.
•The WLAN radio components are initialized and become active for a short period if the batteries
of the Pharos Traveler GPS 535v are changed or it is reset (cold boot or returned to delivery
condition). Be aware of this if you are in an environment where radio components must not be
used (e.g. hospital, aircraft).
