Safety information
This chapter contains important safety instructions regarding the use, reliability, and
performance of the radio set and the battery.

Intended use

The radio set is intended for operation in radio networks following the TETRA stan-
dard. Due to the unit design, direct use with other interfaces of public telecommunica-
tion networks is not possible.
During operation, it enables connections using the network infrastructure of a TETRA
network provider in the trunking mode (TMO) as well as direct connections between
two terminal units (DMO).
The robust radio set is dust-tight and jet-proof.
Explosion-proof radio sets are available for use in hazardous areas (explosive atmos-
pheres). Contact your dealer. Such explosion-proof unit versions are accompanied by
a separate document with safety instructions.

Duties of the system operator

The operator of a personal emergency signal system must set up operating instruc-
tions covering the use of the personal emergency signal units. The present operating
manual will not replace these operating instructions.
The national occupational safety regulations and legal provisions in force shall apply.
The operator of a personal emergency signal system in the Federal Republic of
Germany (usually the employer) prepares operating instructions defining which will-
independent alarm types are used in hazardous workplaces where employees work
alone for employee protection, on the basis of a hazard analysis. The employer can
make the use of personal emergency signal units as personal protective equipment
mandatory for the employees.
The operator of a personal emergency signal system may use the present operating
manual for preparing operating instructions. In this process, he must take the current
programming of the specific personal emergency signal units into account which
applies specifically to his personal emergency signal system.
