2 Important Safety Instructions
2.1 Safety and Precautions
The following general instructions should always be followed in order to assure the proper operation
of Sierra, the safety of operators and the preservation of warranty coverage.
1. The Sierra IFE System has been designed to operate in the pressurized passenger cabin on
the aircraft. Never operate the Sierra IFE System in unpressurized areas of the aircraft Avoid
removing any identification plates, serial numbers or warning labels unless specifically
authorized by the manufacturer.
2. To maximize battery life, the Sierra IFE System has been designed to operate with passive
cooling in temperatures from 0°C to +50°C. To prevent overheating, be sure there is adequate
air flow around the device, and that the heat dissipation holes are not blocked. A minimum
airgap of 1” should be maintained during operation. Please observe all specified dimensions
required for mounting, included in the kit specific Outline Drawing listed in Table 3-1.
3. Sierra has been designed to withstand the mechanical vibrations associated with aircraft
transport, but care should still be taken to provide a stable location and avoid any unnecessary
sliding, shifting, or damage from unsecured cargo.
4. Do not expose Sierra to rain or snow. Care should be taken when transporting to and from the
aircraft.
