If the PAK-TRACKER Locator System exhibits any of the symptoms of RFI,
identify the source of the RFI and do the following:
–
If the symptoms of RFI occur when standing near a base station transmitting
antenna or a truck mounted radio antenna, move away from the antenna
until the symptoms stop.
–
If the symptoms of RFI occur while transmitting on a hand-held radio, move
the radio away from the Hand Held Receiver or PAK-TRACKER transmitter.
Be aware of the symptoms of RFI. A Hand Held Receiver affected by RFI may
temporarily stop operation. When the source of the RFI is removed, the Hand
Held Receiver will immediately return to normal operation
.
In some circumstances after experiencing RFI, it may be necessary to remove
the Hand Held Receiver from service. In a known safe, non-hazardous
area, remove and reinstall the batteries to reset the unit (see the BATTERY
CHARGING, INSTALLATION, AND REPLACEMENT section of this instruction).
Then inspect and return the unit to service.
IF THE SYMPTOMS OF RFI OCCUR, THE USER MUST CHECK THE HAND
HELD RECEIVER TO VERIFY THAT IT IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.
IF THE HAND HELD RECEIVER DOES NOT RESUME OPERATING
NORMALLY AFTER EXPERIENCING THE SYMPTOMS OF RFI, OR IF THE
UNIT CONTINUES TO MALFUNCTION IN ANY OTHER WAY, REMOVE THE
HAND HELD RECEIVER FROM SERVICE AND TAG IT FOR RETURN TO
SCOTT SAFETY OR YOUR AUTHORIZED SCOTT SAFETY DEALER OR
DISTRIBUTOR FOR REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT.
Although the PAK-TRACKER transmitter’s operation will not likely be affected
by RFI, the radio signal from a PAK-TRACKER transmitter may be temporarily
blocked by the more powerful radio signal from an active hand-held radio held
in close proximity.
Minimize or eliminate the effects of RFI by protecting the Hand Held Receiver
with the following steps:
– Maintain a safe distance from a base station transmitting antenna or a truck
mounted radio antenna.
– Keep the antennas of hand held radios at least six (6) inches away from the
Hand Held Receiver and the PAK-TRACKER transmitters. See FIGURES
3 and 4.
Refer to the DETECTING AND AVOIDING RADIO INTERFERENCE section
of the user instructions provided with the PAK-ALERT distress alarm equipped
with the PAK-TRACKER Locator System for details of the effect of RFI on that
equipment.
GUIDELINES FOR PAK-TRACKER TRANSMITTERS
When they are not in use, the transmitters should be turned off to prevent
them from interfering with sensitive equipment such as in hospital or health
care facilities.
The PAK-TRACKER transmitters should be kept a minimum of six (6) inches
away from pacemakers. Turn the transmitter off immediately if there is any
reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
If there are any other medical devices present when using a transmitter, con-
sult with the manufacturer of the device to determine it is adequately shielded
from RFI.
WARNING
IF THE HAND HELD RECEIVER DOES NOT RESUME
OPERATING NORMALLY AFTER EXPERIENCING
THE SYMPTOMS OF RFI, OR IF THE UNIT CON-
TINUES TO MALFUNCTION IN ANY OTHER WAY,
REMOVE THE HAND HELD RECEIVER FROM
SERVICE AND TAG IT FOR RETURN TO THE MANU-
FACTURER FOR REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT. USE
OF A MALFUNCTIONING HAND HELD RECEIVER
IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION MAY RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
