Safety and Health Precautions

 Handling the Unit

• To avoid any injury during the installation, observe local health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material handling.
• The unit must be handled carefully and thoughtfully to prevent safety hazards and damage.
• Due to the presence of strong magnets:
  • be careful of pinch hazards due to the attractive force of the magnets to any object containing iron
  • keep the device as far as possible from any object containing iron during transport
  • do not face magnets together for storage of multiple
    devices

 Electronic and Radio Interference

• To avoid interferences with electronic devices contained in vehicles, keep the unit away from the vehicle's dashboard.
• When connected to wireless networks (3G/4G), the unit emits microwaves that can interfere with other electronic devices.
• The operation of this equipment in a residential environment could cause radio interference.

Safety Precautions

• Do not use the unit in any place where the use of mobile phones is usually banned: airplanes, hospitals, and areas with potentially explosive atmosphere (e.g. gas stations, repair shops, fuel or  chemical storage areas).
• Before use, check that the device is properly mounted in accordance with the mounting instructions in Mounting Instructions.
• Regularly inspect the magnetic pads for damage. If one of the pads is damaged, replace it prior to driving.
• Be aware of the total height of your vehicle since low clearance branches, bridges and parking garages can collide with the antenna.
• The handling characteristics of light vehicles (in particular crosswind sensitivity, handling on bends and braking) may change when the device is fitted.
• Modify your driving habits when the device is fastened to the vehicle: reduce your speed, especially on bends, and consider longer braking distances.
• Remove the device from the vehicle when it is not used anymore in order to reduce fuel consumption.
• Remove the device before entering automatic car washes.
• Do not use the device for any other purpose than those for which it is designed.
• Do not use the device to fasten load on the vehicle roof.

 Health Precautions

Operating the unit is not recommended for:

• People with electronic implants (e.g. pacemakers, insulin pumps, implanted pulse generators, hearing aids).
• Pregnant women, old people, children, teenagers and people su8ering from epilepsy.
• If you use a medical device, please contact your physician and the device manufacturer to determine a safe distance from the magnet.

 Servicing the Unit

• Only trained and approved service engineers are permitted to service this unit.
• Unauthorized maintenance or the use of non-approved replacements may a8ect the unit specifications and invalidate any warranties.

 Presence of Strong Magnets

Due to the presence of strong magnets on the bottom of the device, follow the below guidelines:

• Check that the material of the mounting surface (like the car roof top) has magnetic properties.
• Only place the magnetic pads of the antenna on a magnetic surface.
• Do not interpose any object of any type between the magnetic pads and the roof of the car.
• When the device is placed on a steel sunroof, keep the sunroof in the closed position and do not operate it.
• Do not use the device on vehicles whose roofs have been repaired by means of tin, plaster layers or through varnishing of same.
• Be aware that following accidental damage (e.g. fall down of the device), the magnetic properties of the device could be affected.
