Ingenico Switched Telephone Network STN, RF Safety

Ingenico 7780

4.3 Switched Telephone Network (STN)

This equipment has been certified according to the 98/482/EC decision made by the Pan European committee concerning the connection of equipments to the switched telephone network. The certification does not however provide unconditional assurance of optimum operation when connecting to the telephone network.

If you encounter any difficulties, contact your dealer or installer first.

4.4 RF Safety

In-car safety

The use of the terminal in a vehicle may cause malfunctions of electronic systems (e.g. ABS anti-lock systems, fuel injection systems) particularly in insufficiently shielded systems.

Exposure to RF Energy

There is some public concern about the possible health effects of using cellular equipment. Although research on health effects from RF energy has focused for many years on the current RF technology, scientists have begun research on newer Bluetooth technology technologies. After existing research had been reviewed, and compliance to all applicable safety standards had been tested, it has been concluded that the product is completely safe to use.

4.5 General safety

Electronic Device

Most electronic equipment, for example in hospitals and motor vehicles, are shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy may affect some damaged or improperly shielded electronic equipment.

Vehicle Electronic Equipment

Check with your vehicle manufacturer's representative to determine if on board electronic equipment is adequately shielded from RF energy.

Medical Electronic Equipment

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.

Turn your Terminal OFF in health care facilities when any signs in the area instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using RF monitoring equipment.

Aircraft

0Warning: Turn your Terminal OFF before boarding any aircraft, use on the ground only with the crew's permission. Do not use it in the air.

Children

Do not allow children to play with your terminal. Children could hurt themselves or damage the terminal.

Blasting areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your unit OFF when in a "blasting area" or in areas posted: "turn off two-way Bluetooth technology". Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to set explosives.
