Safety

To ensure your own personal safety and prevent electrical damage and/or fire, please read these

safety statements before installing any devices.

Devices are only to be opened by experienced, qualified and authorised electrician/electronics

service personnel. Use extreme care and caution when installing or removing devices. For all devices:

• Dropping a device or letting it fall could cause damage resulting in a potential electrical or fire

hazard and/or voiding the warranty.

• Some devices may get hot in use and could pose a potential fire or burn hazard. Do not place

anything on top of the device or drop objects on the device.

• Make sure the voltage of the power source is correct before connecting any device to the power

source. The incorrect voltage may pose an electrical and or fire hazard.

• To prevent damage, fire and/or electrical shock, all cautions or warnings on a device should be

noted.

• Never pour any liquid on to or into any device. Depending on the device this may cause damage

resulting in fire and/or electrical shock.

• For product warranty, safety and performance reasons, only authorised and qualified service

personnel should open any device.

• Although all Minetec wireless devices meet established standards for exposure to RF energy,

additional common-sense precautions may also be taken to minimise potentially harmful RF

radiation. For example, increasing the distance from an RF source reduces the exposure.

• Unless qualified and authorised, never attempt to disassemble, repair or make any modifications

to the device. Disassembly, modification or any attempt at repair could cause damage to the

device and even bodily injury or property damage and will void the warranty.

• As some Minetec devices can get hot and/or are a source of RF radiation, do not store or carry

flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the same compartment as the device, its parts

or accessories.

• If any of the following situations arises, immediately have the device checked by qualified and

authorised personnel: o If applicable, the power cord or plug is damaged. o The device has

obvious signs of breakage or tampering. o The device has been dropped and damaged. o The

device has been submerged in water. o The device does not work as expected after using these

guidelines. o It is suspected that liquid has penetrated the device.

Personal Node safety

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.

If carrying in a jacket or vest pocket (not recommended) then:

CAUTION

Do not attempt to service any device unless both qualified and authorised my Minetec

in writing, and as indicated in this document.
