For any of the described situations please refer to the specific instructions and norms.
The device is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it sends and receives radio frequency (RF) signals.
The device produces magnetic fields. Do not place it next to magnetic supports such as floppy disks, tapes, etc.
Operating your device close to other electrical and electronic equipment – such as a television, phone, radio or a personal computer – may cause interferences.

INTERFERENCES
The device, like all other wireless devices, is subject to interferences that may reduce its performances.

ROAD SAFETY
Do not use your device while driving. In case of use on cars, you must check that the electronic equipment is shielded against RF signals. Do not place the device in the air bag deployment area.

AIRCRAFT SAFETY
Switch off your device when on board aircrafts by disconnecting the power supply and deactivating the internal backup battery. Using GSM devices on aircrafts is illegal.

HOSPITAL SAFETY
Do not use the device near health equipment, especially pacemakers and hearing aids, in order to avoid potential interferences. Take care when utilizing the device inside hospitals and medical centres, which make use of equipment that could be sensitive to external RF signals. Switch it off when use is expressly forbidden.

EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS
Do not use the device in refuelling points, near fuel or chemicals. Do not use the device where blasting is in progress. Observe restrictions and follow any specific regulation or instruction.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Do not use this device in direct contact with the human body and keep a minimum distance of 20 cm from it and from the antenna. Use approved accessories only. Consult the user’s manual of eventual other equipment connected to this device. Do not connect incompatible products.

INFORMATION TO USERS
according to Art. 26 “Information to Users” – Legislative Decree 14 March 2014, n. 49 “Actuation of the Directive 2012/19/ UE on the waste of electrical and electronic devices (RAEE).”
The symbol of a crossed waste container marked on the apparatus or on its package indicates that at the end of its useful life the product must be collected separately from other waste materials.
The user must therefore take the apparatus which has reached the end of its useful life to appropriate separate collection centres for electronic and electro-technical waste materials, or deliver it back to the reseller when purchasing a new apparatus of an equivalent type for a domestic unit, giving one piece in for one piece out, according to Art. 11, paragraph 3 of the above
mentioned Legislative Decree. Furthermore, as per Art.11, paragraph 3 of the above mentioned Legislative Decree it is possible, in the sale point, the free insertion of recyclable materials into appropriate receptacle, without any purchasing obligation for the very small size RAEE, coming from domestic units. Suitable separate waste collection for then sending the cast-off apparatus for recycling, treatment and environmentally friendly disposal, contributes towards preventing any possible negative effects on the environment and on health and encourages recycling of the materials the apparatus is made up of. Unauthorised disposal of the product by the user will lead to payment of the administrative sanctions in force in the country where it is put on the market.
