manufacturer-approved antenna. Non-approved antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair
service quality, damage the Telguard and violate FCC regulations.
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy from cellular devices
may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment. RF energy may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic equipment operating in homes and businesses. Check with the
manufacturer or its representative to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external
RF energy. Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as pacemakers, hearing
aids, etc.) to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy.
BLASTING AREAS
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn OFF your unit when in a “blasting area” or in areas
posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to set off
explosives.
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn OFF your unit when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but the Telguard
Digital product or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion
or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere 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 transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the area of your Telguard Digital product
and accessories.
Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) must comply with the National Fire
Protection Standard (FPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protection
Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn: Publications Sales Division.
FUTURE TESTING AND LIMITATIONS ON USE
The Telguard®Digital device is part of an advanced design alarm-communication system. It does not
offer guaranteed protection against burglary and fire. Any alarm communication system is subject to
compromise or failure.
The Telguard®Digital device will not work without power. Devices powered by AC will not work if the AC
power supply is off for any reason, however briefly, and at the same time, a backup battery is missing,
dead or not properly installed.
The cellular radio network, needed to transmit alarm signals from a protected premise to a central
monitoring station, may be inoperable or temporarily out of service. Cellular radio networks are also
subject to compromise by sophisticated methods of attack.
This equipment, like any other electrical device is subject to component failure. Although this equipment
is designed to be long lasting, the electrical components could fail at any time.
Due to these limitations, we recommend that if the automatic self-test feature is not enabled, other
arrangements be made with the user to test the system at least once every three months. Moreover,
arrangements should also be made for on-site inspection/test by a licensed alarm installer at least once
each year.
