Safety Warnings
Safety: Temperature
WARNING!
• If you do not use the Ctrl+5, ensure that it is not exposed to
direct sunlight for lengthy periods of time. Certain parts of
the Ctrl+5, such as the keypad, the cable, and the enclosure
can become hot or brittle if they have been exposed to full
sunlight for too long. This may cause burns or to the skin or
render the Ctrl+5 inoperable.
• Extended sun exposure can result in product labels becoming
discolored, illegible or falling off.
Safety: Electromagnetic radiation
CAUTION!
The standard version of your Ctrl+5 device has been
tested on the applicable requirements with respect to
electromagnetic radiation (EMC requirements) in spite of these
tests:
It cannot be excluded that electromagnetic radiation may have
an influence on the Ctrl+5.
For example:

• Other sources of electromagnetic radiation.
It cannot be excluded that the Ctrl+5 may interfere with
electromagnetic fields.
For example:
• Shop doors.
• Burglar alarm systems in shops.

If an EMC event occurs there may be unintended operation of
your Ctrl+5 device.
In the unlikely event that such problems do occur, we request
that you notify you authorized dealer immediately.
