4.5 Device Safety
The device was manufactured to be mechanically resistant.
Careless use and excessive mechanical strain may impair
its efficiency.
Safety Measures:
•
Do not drop, shake or knock the device.
•
Do not place objects over the cables nor bend them.
•
Do not carry out any type of intervention that may damage the device.
•
Do not open or disassemble the device.
•
Do not fold the device's antenna.
•
Use the device only with the antenna it is provided with or with one authorised by the
device's manufacturer.
•
Make sure the device and any accessory connected to it are firmly secured before
moving the vehicle they are installed on.
The device was manufactured to be electrically safe and to
work with specific supply voltage levels.
Failure to comply with the specifications related to the
power supply may impair its efficiency.
Safety Measures:
•
Do not wet the device with water or other liquids.
•
If not otherwise specified, use the device on vehicles with a 12/24 V DC power supply
and the chassis connected to the negative pole.
•
The device's power supply must always be connected following the indications provided
in this manual.
•
Do not use external batteries to power the device.
The electromagnetic compatibility tests carried out on the
device guarantee that it can be adapted to the technologies
normally used on vehicles (e.g. engine control, ABS,
airbag, etc.). Nevertheless, if malfunctions occur, contact
the vehicle's dealer.
In particular, the device's proper operation could be
compromised by covering the antenna with shielding
objects and/or materials.
Such materials force the device to work with a higher power
compared to what is normally required.
Safety Measures:
•
Do not cover the antenna with shielding objects or materials.
