8.1 Safety Advice and Precautions

8.1.1 General

• Always ensure that use of the radio device is permitted. The radio

device may present a hazard if used in proximity to personal medical

electronic devices. As a rule, the radio device must not be used in

hospitals, airports or planes.

• You are responsible for observing your country’s safety standards, and

where applicable the relevant wiring rules.

• Never use the radio device at a gas station, refuelling point, blasting

area or in any other environment where explosives may be present.

• Operating the radio device close to other electronic devices, such as

antennas, television sets, and radios may cause electromagnetic

interference.

• Never try to dismantle the radio device yourself. There are no

components inside the radio device that can be serviced by the user. If

you attempt to dismantle the radio device, you may invalidate the

warranty.

• To protect the power supply cables and meet the fire safety

requirements, it is recommended that the electrical circuits are supplied

with a power regulator. The power regulator should be placed as close

to the terminals of the power supply as possible.

• Do not connect any incompatible component or product to the radio

device.

deviations caused thereby.

• The connection/disconnection method for the development board is by

means of the DC power jack. For this reason, the mains supply should

be situated close to the development board and be easily accessible.
