Safety Information
2.5 Installing antennas
C
CAUTION – For your own safety, and in terms of the RF Exposure requirements of the FCC,
always observe these precautions:
– Always maintain a minimum separation distance of 20 cm (7.8 inches) between yourself
and the radiating antenna.
– Do not collocate (place within 20 cm) the radio antenna with any other transmitting
device.
This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below.
UHF Antennas not included in this list, or having a gain greater than 5 dBi, are strictly
prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
The antennas that can be used (country dependent) with the UHF radio are 0 dBi and
5 dBi whip antennas for external radio modems.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain
should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not
more than that permitted for successful communication.
2.6 Rechargeable Lithium-ion batteries
These receivers use a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery.
C
WARNING – Do not damage the rechargeable Lithium-ion battery. A damaged battery
can cause an explosion or fire, and can result in personal injury and/or property damage.
To prevent injury or damage:
– Do not use or charge the battery if it appears to be damaged. Signs of damage include,
but are not limited to, discoloration, warping, and leaking battery fluid.
– Do not expose the battery to fire, high temperature, or direct sunlight.
– Do not immerse the battery in water.
– Do not use or store the battery inside a vehicle during hot weather.
– Do not drop or puncture the battery.
– Do not open the battery or short-circuit its contacts.
C
WARNING – Avoid contact with the rechargeable Lithium-ion battery if it appears to be
leaking. Battery fluid is corrosive, and contact with it can result in personal injury and/or
property damage.
To prevent injury or damage:
– If the battery leaks, avoid contact with the battery fluid.
– If battery fluid gets into your eyes, immediately rinse your eyes with clean water and
seek medical attention. Do not rub your eyes!
– If battery fluid gets onto your skin or clothing, immediately use clean water to wash off
the battery fluid.
