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. ABB 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.
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

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

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
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.
