5 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
5.1 GENERAL
PowerTrunk strongly recommends performing the integration by people with experience in the field of
radiofrequency technologies.
PowerTrunk has approved a wide range of accessories for the terminal. These accessories have passed all
types of tests that ensure their suitability and safety for the use for which they are intended. So, it is
recommended only to use approved accessories.
For your safety, only allow PowerTrunk qualified staff to disassemble/repair the terminal or its accessories.
If the disassemble/repair is not correct, it may be dangerous and will void the guarantee of the terminal.
Make sure that all specifications within this document are followed, especially concerning temperature, supply
voltage and antenna parameters. Do not use the terminal without the TETRA antenna.
During prolonged operating periods in transmission mode high temperatures may be reached at the back of
the equipment where the power amplifier heatsink is located. Burns may result if bare skin comes into contact
with an uncovered antenna during radio transmissions.
Make sure that the final product operates according to the local regulations. As detailed in Chapter about
Regulatory Compliance and Certifications, the equipment has been designed to fulfill the applicable
compliance regulations.
5.2 EXPOSURE TO RADIOFREQUENCY ENERGY
This product makes use of radio spectrum and emits radiofrequency energy. Care should be taken when the
product is integrated in systems. The exposure level is dependent on the radiating section (antenna used and
its installation). Radiation performance is always the responsibility of the integrator.
The transmitter and antenna must not be situated or operated in conjunction with any other transmitter or its
antenna. Failure to observe this warning could produce an RF exposure condition.
TRM-300 is restricted to occupational/controller use to safety RF energy exposure limits. This
radio is NOT authorized for general population.
Use only accessories and antennas approved by PowerTrunk. Use of non-approved accessories
and antennas may exceed RF energy exposure limits.
5.3 ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
Most electronic devices are susceptible to electromagnetic interference if they are not properly shielded,
designed or configured for electromagnetic compatibility.
Always respect the current regulations of the area you are in to avoid these compatibility conflicts.
Turn off the terminal whenever its use is prohibited, when it may cause interference or be hazardous, for
example, at hospitals or health care premises, where equipment sensitive to external RF radiation may be
being used.
Aircraft
Follow all existing restrictions, according to the regulations of the airlines or the instructions of the crew.
