WARNING
If battery terminals come in contact with jewellery, keys, metallised paper or other
metals, short circuited battery terminals can overheat and cause injury or fire, for
example by storing or transporting in pockets.
Precautions:
Make sure that the battery terminals do not come into contact with metallic objects.
Incorrect fastening of the external antenna to vehicles or transporters poses the risk
of the equipment being broken by mechanical influence, vibration or airstream. This
may result in accident and physical injury.
Precautions:
Attach the external antenna professionally. The external antenna must be secured
additionally, for example by use of a safety cord. Ensure that the mounting device is
correctly mounted and able to carry the weight of the external antenna (>1 kg)
safely.
If the product is improperly disposed of, the following can happen:
• If polymer parts are burnt, poisonous gases are produced which may impair
health.
• If batteries are damaged or are heated strongly, they can explode and cause
poisoning, burning, corrosion or environmental contamination.
• By disposing of the product irresponsibly you may enable unauthorised persons
to use it in contravention of the regulations, exposing themselves and third
parties to the risk of severe injury and rendering the environment liable to
contamination.
