Fixed Wireless Terminal Description and Installation
CAUTION
Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if a conductive
material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touches exposed
terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit)
and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery,
particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse or other container with
metal objects.
Children
Do not allow children to play with any radio equipment containing a
transmitter. Children could hurt themselves or others (by poking
themselves or others in the eye with the antenna, for example). Children
could also damage the FWT.
WARNING
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
DO NOT operate your FWT near blasting caps, or in a blasting area, to
avoid the possibility of triggering an explosion.
Areas marked with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not
always, clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gas stations,
below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or
metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be advised
to turn off your vehicle engine.
Do not operate a FWT near electrical blasting caps. Under certain
conditions, FWTs can interfere with blasting operations.
Do not operate a FWT transmitter in a hazardous atmosphere. An
explosion or fire may result.
Do not replace or charge batteries in a hazardous atmosphere. Contact
sparking may occur while installing batteries or removing batteries and
cause an explosion.
