APPENDIX A – GSM-EQUIPPED UNITS – SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Safety Precautions
The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of the operation, usage, service or
repair of this GSM cellular terminal. Failure to comply with these precautions violates safety standards of
design, manufacture and intended use of the product. The Company assumes no liability for customer
failure to comply with these precautions.
1. When in a hospital or other health care facility, observe the restrictions on the use of mobiles.
Switch the cellular terminal or mobile off, if instructed to do so by the guidelines posted in
sensitive areas. Medical equipment may be sensitive to RF energy. The operation of cardiac
pacemakers, other implanted medical equipment and hearing aids can be affected by
interference from cellular terminals or mobiles placed close to the device. If in doubt about
potential danger, contact the physician or the manufacturer of the device to verify that the
equipment is properly shielded. Pacemaker patients are advised to keep their hand-held
mobile away from the pacemaker, while it is on.
2. Switch off the cellular terminal or mobile before boarding an aircraft. Make sure it cannot be
switched on inadvertently. The operation of wireless appliances in an aircraft is forbidden to
prevent interference with communications systems. Failure to observe these instructions
may lead to the suspension or denial of cellular services to the offender, legal action, or both.
3. Do not operate the cellular terminal or mobile in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.
Switch off the cellular terminal when you are near petrol stations, fuel depots, chemical
plants or where blasting operations are in progress. Operation of any electrical equipment in
potentially explosive atmospheres can constitute a safety hazard.
4. Your cellular terminal or mobile receives and transmits radio frequency energy while
switched on. Remember that interference can occur if it is used close to TV sets, radios,
computers or inadequately shielded equipment. Follow any special regulations and always
switch off the cellular terminal or mobile wherever forbidden, or when you suspect that it may
cause interference or danger.
Note. Cellular terminals or mobiles operate using radio signals and cellular networks cannot be
guaranteed to connect in all conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any
wireless device for essential communications, for example emergency calls.
Remember, in order to make or receive calls, the cellular terminal or mobile must be switched on and in
a service area with adequate cellular signal strength.
