Safety

THIS GUIDE CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. PLEASE READ THIS GUIDE BEFORE USING THE PRODUCT.

Attention!
Sepura products are designed for use by mobile workforces, often working alone, and are intended for use in occupational and controlled conditions.
It is the responsibility of the person operating the product to ensure that it is operated safely at all times, and that local laws and regulations governing the usage of

Radio Frequency (RF) wireless devices are observed. Obey all signs and instructions relating to the usage to RF wireless devices.
It is recommended that you obtain training on how to safely operate this product. Your personal safety could be affected if you do not understand how to operate this product correctly.
This product must not be operated in environments that exceed those listed in the product technical data sheet.

Exposure to RF energy
Sepura designs and manufactures products to meet strict guidelines and international standards relating to Radio Frequency (RF) energy and the potential health risks associated with using RF wireless devices. If you have any concerns relating to long term health risks associated with using RF wireless devices, you should obtain advice from your employer.

SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) is a measurement of how much electromagnetic radiation is absorbed by the human body whilst using a mobile wireless device. In Europe, the recommendations made by the International Commission on Non- Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) have been adopted. All Sepura hand-held products comply with these occupational limits.
Training should be provided by your employer on the correct usage of this product to ensure the occupational/controlled exposure limits are met.

RF energy interference with electronic equipment
Some personal medical devices, such as hearing aids and pacemakers, can be affected by RF energy. Obtain advice from your employer or the manufacturer of your medical device before using RF wireless devices.

Some electronic devices are sensitive to RF energy. Always obey signs restricting the use of RF wireless devices. Sepura radios can operate in TRANSMIT INHIBIT mode, which restricts transmission, when working within health care facilities or other areas that are sensitive to RF energy.

Safely operating your radio

Always check the compliance ratings of your radio before operating it within potentially hazardous environments. Only intrinsically safe (ATEX/IECEx) radios can be operated within hazardous environments such as gas fumes, flammable chemicals or blasting areas.

Your radio should be used in its normal operating position when hand-held, worn on the body or secured within a cradle. When body-worn, your radio must be secured using a Sepura approved attachment. Ensure the antenna is at least 2.5 cm (1 in.) away from the body when transmitting.

Always ensure that your radio is in good operational condition and operating correctly before entering any environment that has a potential risk to personal safety.
NEVER fit or remove the antenna, battery, Smart/microSD card or an accessory (including accessory covers on your radio) when operating in a potentially hazardous environment.

Protection against hearing loss

NEVER place your portable radio or loudspeaker next to your ear, like a mobile phone, when making a PTT call. Your radio has a powerful loudspeaker that could potentially damage your hearing if held next to your ear.

Always check the volume level before making and receiving calls.
Listening to loudspeakers at high volumes may cause noise induced hearing loss. The longer the exposure, the higher the risk.
Always use Sepura approved audio accessories with your radio. The use of non- approved audio accessories may potentially cause loss of hearing.

Safety when driving a vehicle
Always obey local laws and regulations governing the operation of RF wireless devices when driving a vehicle. Do not operate your radio if it creates a distraction from driving safely and observing road conditions. Always POWER OFF or set your radio to TRANSMIT INHIBIT mode at refuelling stations. Always observe and obey warning signs relating to the use of RF wireless devices in the vicinity of refuelling stations.

Operational conditions

• Do not exceed the operational conditions for your radio and battery.
• Prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures (over 55 °C or 131 °F), for example behind glass in direct sunlight, may cause damage to the product casing and the battery.
• Care should be taken to avoid mechanical impact.
• Important safety notes about the antenna
• NEVER touch the antenna when your radio is transmitting, this may cause a minor burn to the skin and may affect the operational range of the antenna.
• DO NOT handle, hold or swing your radio by its antenna, this may damage your radio and the antenna. NEVER use your radio if the antenna shows signs of damage.
• NEVER use your radio without an antenna attached, unless your radio is being used with an external antenna (such as an RSM antenna). Transmitting without an antenna may damage your radio.
• Only use Sepura approved antennas designed for use with this product.

Batteries

Only use Sepura approved batteries with this product. Sepura TETRA radios have been tested and certified using Sepura approved batteries. The use of non- approved batteries may damage the product, will result in the non-compliance with regulatory requirements, compromise the product safety ratings, reduce the length of operating time and will invalidate the product warranty.
Take care when handling and charging batteries. Accidental short-circuiting of the battery electrical circuit (battery radios) by metal objects may cause bodily injury such as a burn.
NEVER use a battery that shows signs of damage (not minor scratches) or has been dropped or received a ‘sharp blow’. Damage to the battery may not always be obvious.

Accessories

Only use Sepura approved accessories with this product. Sepura products have been tested to meet strict guidelines for personal safety and operational conditions. The use of non-approved accessories may damage the product, will result in the non-compliance with regulatory requirements, compromise the product safety ratings, and will invalidate the product warranty.

Always read the instructions supplied with the accessory for additional safety instructions.
Connector covers on your radio must be fitted when an accessory is not in use. A cover need not be fitted to the Facilities connector when your radio is operating in Connector Protector mode (this feature may not be available on your radio).

Safe installation into vehicles

Electronic control mechanisms within a vehicle can be affected by the use of RF energy such as ABS and transmission controls. Always refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions and technical information relating to electronic modules and their wiring harnesses before installing an RF wireless device into a vehicle. Do not install the product within the air bag deployment area. In the event of the air bag inflating, your radio could be propelled at great force potentially causing serious injury.

Servicing and Repairs

Do not attempt to dismantle this product.
Servicing and repairs to this product must be performed by trained service technicians at Sepura approved service centres.
Unauthorised modifications could cause the product to become non-operational and will invalidate the product safety ratings and product warranty.
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the radio is maintained in good working condition.

Regulatory
Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Regulations

Sepura TETRA radios generate, use and radiate RF energy. Radios that comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant of part 15 of the FCC rules are identified by an FCC certification ID label (located under the battery). Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment (rule part 15.21). This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
