Safety Information

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Warning:
• Use of a TLK 150 device that is not intrinsically safe in a potentially
explosive atmosphere could result in a serious injury or death. You
should only use a certified Intrinsically Safe device in potentially
explosive atmospheres.
•
Explosive atmospheres refer to hazard classified locations that may
contain hazardous gas, vapors, dusts, such as fueling areas below
decks on boats, fuel or chemical transferor storage facilities, and areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or
metal powders. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often,
but not always, posted.
• Turn off your device prior to entering any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere unless it is a device type specifically certified for
use in hazardous location areas.
• DO NOT remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas, or remove
or install antennas. Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can
cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Blasting Caps and Blasting Areas
Warning: To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off
your device when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area.
Obey all signs and instructions.
European Union (EU) Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE) Directive
The European Union's WEEE directive requires that products sold into EU
countries must have the crossed out trash bin label on the product (or the package
in some cases). As defined by the WEEE directive, this cross-out trash bin label
means that customers and end-users in EU countries should not dispose of
electronic and electrical equipment or accessories in household waste. Customers
or end-users in EU countries should contact their local equipment supplier
representative or service centre for information about the waste collection system in
their country.
