All safety regulations must be applied.
Use only approved accessories specified by Netafim™ for the NetBeat™ equipment.
Failure to do so may result in the system operating in a dangerously unsafe condition.
Unauthorized modification of the product will negate the approval rating of the product and the warranty.
Protection provided by the equipment can be impaired if the equipment is used in a manner other than
that specified by the manufacturer.
WARNING
In agricultural environment - always wear protective footwear.

Electrical Safety Precautions

Electrical installation, maintenance and troubleshooting procedures must be performed by an authorized
electrician only.
Overhead Power Lines
WARNING
When installing NetBeat™ units care must be taken:
Insure there is always clear space from overhead power lines.
Do not erect any pole and associated NetBeat™ unit if power lines
are in the vicinity.
Check with your relevant authority as to the clearances from power lines
required in your region.

Batteries

Use only Netafim™ approved batteries on the NetBeat™ equipment.
The NetBeat™ system uses Lithium acid batteries as a power source. Do not puncture the battery.
If a battery is found to be punctured take caution in handling the battery and avoid contact with the
corrosive material in the battery.
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury, such as burns.
Prevent contact between the terminals of a battery and objects made of conductive material (jewelry,
keys, tools etc.). Failure to do so may cause a short circuit and generate significant heat.
Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a container (toolbox)
amidst metal objects.
Always dispose of a used battery in a responsible manner - in the intended places for battery recycling.
Batteries should never be put in a fire because they could explode.
It is important not to dispose of large numbers of alkaline batteries in a group. Used batteries are often
not completely dead. Grouping used batteries together can bring these live batteries into contact with
one another, allowing their charge to be released which could create safety risks.

Wireless radiation/RF radiation

The NetBeat system meets the local RF regulations of every country and state.
The system is supplied with the proper documentation to be submitted to the local authorities, such as
Ministry of Communication, Customs, or any other governmental agency.
WARNING
Radio frequency fields near antennas may exceed FCC rules for human
exposure.
