5. Safety Information
This GSM module left the factory in perfect condition in terms of safety engineering. The user must observe the safety instructions and
warnings contained in these operating instructions to preserve this condition and to ensure safe operation.
Please read the operating instructions completely before commissioning. They contain important information for correct operation.
The guarantee/warranty will expire if damage is incurred resulting from non-compliance with the operating instructions! We
do not assume any liability for consequential damage!
We do not assume any liability for property damage and personal injury caused by improper use or non-compliance with the
safety instructions! In such cases the warranty/guarantee is voided.
• The GSM module is equipped with highly integrated components. Electronic components are very sensitive to static electricity
discharge. Only touch the GSM module PCB by the edges and avoid contact with the pins of the components on the circuit board.
• The unauthorized conversion and/or modification of the GSM module control is inadmissible for safety and approval reasons (CE).
• When handling products that may come into contact with electric voltage, observe the valid VDE regulations, especially VDE 0100,
VDE 0550/0551, VDE 0700, VDE 0711 and VDE 0860. Contact an expert if you have any doubts about how the GSM module works
or about how to connect it.
• The GSM module may only be operated after it has been installed scoop-proof in the casing.
• Never remove the SIM card in current operation!
• The power/voltage must be switched off when installing the GSM module. All wiring work must be performed with the voltage/power
switched off.
• Contact with water or moisture must be avoided at all times.
• Do not operate the GSM module in rooms or under unfavourable conditions where combustible gases, vapours or dust are or may
be present. There is a danger of explosion!
• Before taking the GSM module into operation, always check it and its cables for damage. If you find any damage, the product must
not be used.
• Do not switch the GSM module immediately after it has been taken from a cold to a warm environment. The condensation that forms
might destroy your device. Let the device reach ambient temperature before switching it on.
• Do not leave packaging material unattended. It may become a dangerous toy for children.
• In schools, training centres, computer and self-help workshops, handling of technical devices must be supervised by trained personnel
in a responsible manner.
• At industrial sites, the accident prevention regulations of the association of the industrial workers’ societies for electrical equipment
and utilities must be followed.
• Use other than that described above can lead to damage to the product and may involve additional risks such as, for example, short
circuits, fire, electrical shock etc.
• If it can be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible, the GSM module must be turned off and secured against inadvertent
operation. It can be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible if:
- the device shows any visible damage,
- the device no longer functions,
- the device was stored under unfavourable conditions or
- if it was subjected to heavy stress during transport.
