Your iCON

XY is like a mobile phone

Your iCON

XY uses the same technology as a mobile phone. It is important that you always obey all safety

regulations related to mobile phone use. If you have any doubt about the safe operation of your iCON

XY you should

remove the iCON

XY from the PC and seek advice from authorized personnel.

Handle with care

This device is designed to be plugged directly into the USB port of a computer, however, every precaution should be

taken to avoid stress on the devic

e should the computer be lifted, moved, relocated or packaged. Should regular

movement of this nature be envisaged, an extender cable (sometimes supplied with the device) should be used so as

to avoid damage to the device. It should be noted that any damage sustained as a result of the aforementioned

mishandling will be regarded as “User Damage” and shall render the product warranty null and void.

1. Safety Measurements

Please be sure to read the following safety information. Failure to do so could put yourself and others at risk.

1.1 General recommendations for use

 Always handle the iCON

XY with care and keep it in a clean and dust-free location. Do not expose the device to

sources of naked flames or incandescent heat.

 Do not allow the iCON

XY to come into contact with liquids (e.g. spray water or rain) or moisture and avoid

exposing it to high levels of humidity.

 Do not drop or throw the iCON

XY and do not attempt to bend it.

 Do not paint your device.

 Do not attempt to take the iCON

XY apart yourself. There is a risk of injury. Your warranty would also be voided.

 Do not touch the antenna of the iCON

XY unnecessarily. This applies to both internal and external designs.

1.2 On the move: Handle the iCON

XY with care during a journey. We recommend that you disconnect the device

from your notebook and place it in your luggage for safe keeping.

1.3 Ambient temperature: Do not expose the iCON

XY or its antenna to ambient temperatures outside the

permissible range of 0 to +40 degrees Celsius.

1.4 Explosive atmo

spheres: Always keep your computer switched off in potentially explosive atmospheres. It may be

rare, but your computer is capable of producing sparks that could cause an explosion or a fire. Areas of potentially

explosive atmospheres are always clearly signed. These include petrol stations, the lower deck of boats, petrol and

chemical storage depots, loading stations, or any place in which the air is contaminated by chemicals or particles such

as dust, wood fibres, flour or metal dust, etc. Do not transport or stow your computer and its accessories in a

compartment of a vehicle that contains flammable gas, moisture or explosive devices.

1.5 Demolition zones – construction sites: Switch off your notebook in demolition zones. This will help to prevent

interference with the radio signal used in demolition operations.

1.6 Prohibited use on aeroplanes: The use of a wireless communications device in an aeroplane may cause

interference and is prohibited. Remove the iCON

XY if you intend to use your notebook during the flight. Alternatively,

you could activate the flight mode of PARAM_APP_NAME. Do not use on the ground before take-off without the

express permission of the flight crew.
