diation - Human Exposure) Standard 1999
(applicable to wireless phones only).
In order to ensure the best communication
quality and compliance with the safety
standards stipulated by the abovementioned
documents, the equipment operating rules
must be followed.
Antennas
Use only original supplied antennas.
Antennas that have been modied may
damage the device or cause violations of
statutory rules and regulations.
DO NOT touch the GSM antenna of the
device while it is in operation. This can impair
communication quality and give rise to an
undesired increase in radiated power.
DO NOT touch the GPS antenna of the
device while it is in operation. This can
impair the quality of reception and result in
inaccurate positioning.
DO NOT use a device with a defective
antenna. If there are any defects in antenna
or antenna cable, replace the antenna or
consult your local dealer as soon as possible.
Electromagnetic Interference and
Compatibility
Almost any electronic device is subjected
to electromagnetic interference unless it is
adequately shielded, has proper construction
or is compatible with devices operating in
another frequency band.
Prohibition on Use of Mobile
Communication Devices
If you come across a signage or a notice, which
prohibits the use of mobile communication
devices, turn off your tracker. This is required
to avoid electromagnetic interference with
equipment sensitive to electromagnetic
elds often used in hospitals, health care
institutions or petrol stations.
Medical Devices
Cardiac Pacemakers
Medical Device Manufacturers Association
advises to use mobile communication devices
at distances greater than 15 cm from cardiac
pacemaker so as to prevent the failure of
the latter. These recommendations conform
to the studies carried out by independent
medical laboratories and Research Centre
for Wireless Technologies.
Hearing Devices
Sometimes, use of mobile communication
devices may cause troubles for wearers of
certain hearing devices. In this case, consult
the manufacturer of your hearing device to
select another model.
Other Medical Devices
For other personal medical devices, contact
your physician or device manufacturer to
nd out whether your device is adequately
shielded from electromagnetic interference
generated by mobile communication devices.
General Information on Safe Use
Explosion Hazard Zones
SWITCH OFF the device when entering the
explosion hazard zone. Explosion hazard
zones include: fuel stations, box girder decks
on sea vessels, facilities or plants for handling
and storage of fuels or chemicals, areas with
chemicals or solid particles such as grains,
dust or metal powder in atmosphere; and any
other locations where it is usually required to
shut off a vehicle’s engine. Explosion hazard
areas are often (yet not always) expressly
marked.
Blasting Areas
In order to avoid interference with blasting
operations, SWITCH OFF the device in
blasting areas or in any locations marked with
“Two-way radio-communication is prohibited”
signage. Observe the signage instructions
and rules.
