6.4 Safety Precaution Notes
The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of the operation, usage,
service or repair of any cellular terminal or mobile incorporating EHS8. Manufacturers of the
cellular terminal are advised to convey the following safety information to users and
operating personnel and to incorporate these guidelines into all manuals supplied with the
product. Failure to comply with these precautions violates safety standards of design,
manufacture and intended use of the product. Gemalto M2M assumes no liability for
customer’s failure to comply with these precautions.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Road safety comes first! Do not use a hand-held cellular terminal or mobile when
driving a vehicle, unless it is securely mounted in a holder for speakerphone operation.
Before making a call with a hand-held terminal or mobile, park the vehicle.
Speakerphones must be installed by qualified personnel. Faulty installation or
operation can constitute a safety hazard.
IMPORTANT!
Cellular terminals or mobiles operate using radio signals and cellular networks.
Because of this, connection cannot be guaranteed at all times under 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.
Some networks do not allow for emergency calls if certain network services or phone
features are in use (e.g. lock functions, fixed dialing etc.). You may need to deactivate
those features before you can make an emergency call.
Some networks require that a valid SIM card be properly inserted in the cellular
terminal or mobile.
