Operating instructions

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE: The instructions below apply to the device, its accessories,
batteries in use as well as batteries taken out of use. Dust and dirt
may damage the moving parts of the device. Do not use or keep the
device in dusty or dirty surroundings.
-Do not open the device or battery by yourself or pierce holes in it.
-Rough handling may break the circuitry inside the device. Do not
drop, knock, twist or shake the device or its battery.
-Keep the device dry. Liquids contain minerals which could corrode
electronic circuits. If the device gets wet, turn it off and dry the device
and the battery immediately. Put the device into an upright position
and let it dry. It is recommended that a dealer or service personnel
check that the device functions properly.
-Even the device is waterproof, do not wet the device unnecessarily or
immerse it in water.
-Protect the device from heat. High temperatures may shorten the life
of the electrical devices, melt or warp plastics and damage batteries.
-Do not warm up the device or battery or use it near fire.
-Do not short-circuit the battery or battery contacts. Exposing the metal
strips of the battery to a close contact with a metallic object, such as a
coin, a clip or a set of keys can cause accidental short-circuiting and
damage the battery.
-Charge and recharge the battery only with the charger specified in the
Operating instructions/Quick Guide.
-Clean the device with a soft cloth, dampened slightly with mild soapy
water. Do not clean the device with harsh chemicals, solvents or other
corrosive substances.
-Only allow authorised service personnel to service the device.
SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
TELEMATICS PROTOCOL
MPTP (Mobile Phone Telematic Protocol) allows, among other things,
tracking of the device over the SMS/GPRS communication.
Automatically sent telematics messages are only allowed to authorised
numbers configured in the device. Such numbers can be, e.g.
emergency and service center numbers. Position of the device is
retrieved by the GPS, or by the network parameters -the latter being a
network-dependent service.
The carrier for telematics messages is an SMS-message or GPRS
data. Deliveries of all messages is fully handled by and in the
responsibility of the GSM network operator and services can vary
substantially. The charge of a protocol message is determined on the
contract by the service provider.
GPS
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the government
of the United States, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and
maintenance. The system is subject to changes that could affect the
accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment.
EMERGENCY CALLS
The device is an aid and should never be relied upon as an
emergency device. Its functionality is dependent on GSM network and
GPS satellites which may not be available all the time. To make
emergency calls, the device must be turned on and located in an area
with adequate GSM network signal strength.
Making TWIG SOS emergency call also requires GPS satellite
coverage and a valid SIM-card. Emergency calls may not be
possible on all GSM phone networks or when certain network
services or phone features are in use. In unclear cases, consult
the network operator.
GENERAL
Traffic: Strictly adhere to all eventual European and national
legislation and also honour other eventual safety
recommendations when using the device while driving a
vehicle. Place the device in its holder, do not leave it on the
passenger seat or some other place where it can break loose in
a collision or a sudden stop. When receiving a call in an
awkward driving situation, you must always put safety before
other priorities and courtesy. If you feel uncomfortable about
using a device while driving, you should not use it.
Vehicles with air bags: An air bag inflates with great force. Do
not place objects, including either installed or portable wireless
devices, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag
deployment area.
External alert: The use of the alert device to operate a vehicle´s
lights or horn on public roads is not permitted.
Children: Keep the device and its accessories away from small
children to avoid causing injury to themselves or others.
Damage to the device or its accessories is also thus avoided.
Power supply: This equipment is intended for use with the
specified power supplies listed in the Quick Guide/Operating
Instructions. Any other usage will invalidate any approval given
to this apparatus and may be dangerous.
Other accessories: Any other accessories used should also be
approved by the device manufacturer. Check the compatibility
of new power supply units and other accessories at the dealer
or manufacturer.
Connections: All installations, connections and service
regarding the device, its power supply and accessories should
be approved by the device manufacturer. Use of any
unauthorized accessories, modifications or attachments may be
dangerous and voids the device warranty if said accessories
cause damage or a defect to the device.
Magnetic fields: The device contains small magnetic
components. Even though the magnetic fields of the
components are weak, they might damage magnetic cards,
such as bank and credit cards. We recommend that you would
keep the device away from magnetic cards.
Storing positions: Position information is stored correctly in the
device when the GPS is turned off or powered off. To prevent
the memory from becoming corrupted, never power off the
device by removing the battery.
Neodymium magnets: Some models include strong magnets.
Magnets could effect the functioning of pacemakers and
implanted heart defibrillators. If you wear these devices keep
sufficient distance to magnets. Warn others who wear these
devices from getting close to magnets. Keep magnets away
from devices and objects that could be damaged by magnetic
fields.
RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) ENERGY
Aircrafts: Turn your device off before boarding any aircraft and do not
use the device while in the air. Besides being illegal, the use of a
device in an aircraft may endanger the operation of the aircraft or
disrupt the mobile network. Failure to comply with this instruction may
lead to suspension or denial of mobile phone services, and possibly
even legal action.
Hospitals: Turn your device off before entering hospitals or other
health care facilities where medical electronic equipment may be in
use. Such devices can be extremely sensitive to radio frequency
interference. Only use the device with permission and under the
instruction of hospital staff.
Medical devices: Remember that any personal medical devices (such
as hearing aids or pacemakers) may be affected by RF energy if they
are not adequately shielded. Consult the manufacturer or vendor of the
equipment to determine the proper shielding.
Posted facilities and country-specific regulations: Power off the device
in any facility where posted notices require to turn off mobile phones.
Also follow all the country-specific regulations applicable to where the
device is used.
Potentially explosive atmospheres: Turn off the device at refuelling
points, e.g. gas stations. Also observe restrictions on the use of radio
equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants or where blasting operations
are in progress because remote control RF devices are often used to
set off explosives. Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or
explosive materials in the same compartment as the device, its parts
or accessories.
Other electronical equipment: Using the device may cause
interference with a vehicle's electronic equipment if it is not adequately
shielded. Consult the manufacturer or the vehicle seller to determine
the proper shielding.
Computers: Remember that using the device close to a computer may
cause interference. When using your device near such equipment
keep a distance of about one meter.
Body parts: When the device is in operation do not touch the antenna
with eyes, mouth or bare skin to guarantee proper function.
