(for Information Only)
22.2.6. Children
Do not allow children to play with your GSM terminal. It is not a toy. Children could hurt themselves or
others (by poking themselves or others in the eye with the antenna, for example). Children could
damage the modem, or make calls that increase your modem bills.
22.2.7. Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your unit OFF when in a « blasting area » or in
areas posted: « turn off two-way radio ». Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to
set off explosives.
22.2.8. Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your terminal OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your
application or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion
or fire resulting in bodily injuries or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include
fuelling areas such as petrol stations; below decks on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities; and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal
powders.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle
which contains your terminal or accessories.
Before using your terminal in a vehicle powered by liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or
butane) ensure that the vehicle complies with the relevant fire and safety regulations of the country in
which the vehicle is to be used.
