5.1 Wear the Personal Node
A Minetec Personal Node is typically worn by a user on their belt and weighs just over 500 g.
A Personal Node has a long battery life, exceeding any standard shift period, and when placed in the
Personal Node Charging Dock, is fully charged before the next shift.
When wearing or carrying a Personal Node, consider the following safety and operational guidelines:
• To reduce exposure to RF energy, always wear or carry the device with the faceplate facing away
from the body. This is best achieved when using the supplied belt loop or detachable swivel belt
clip.
• Do not leave a Personal Node on the dash of a vehicle as it: o Will be a hazard in a vehicle
accident. o May be damaged if left in the sun for extended periods. o You may forget to replace
it on your belt when exiting the vehicle.
• Ensure the Personal Node LEDs are not completely covered. The LEDs do not need to be directly
viewable, but the emitted light should be able to be seen considering the ambient lighting.
• Ensure the Personal Node is not covered to the point that the alarms become inaudible.
• If carrying in a jacket or vest pocket (not recommended) then:
o Ensure the faceplate faces away from the body. o
The device cannot rotate in a pocket.
5.1.1 Standard belt loop
The Personal Node is supplied with a standard belt loop that fits most belts or harnesses. The
Personal Node remains in a fixed position and cannot be removed unless it is unthreaded from the
belt/harness. Two views of the standard loop are shown in Figure 8 Standard belt loop below.
Ensure the Personal Node faceplate faces away from the body
