4 Recommendations

4.1 Safety

Your terminal meets the strictest safety requirements (VISA PED and CE). As this terminal does not have a power switch, the connector acts as the main transformer. The power supply plug must therefore be easily accessible.

There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced.

Only replace the battery with the same elements or similar elements recommended by the manufacturer.

Dispose of used batteries in compliance with manufacturer instructions.

Do not throw batteries into the bin; dispose of them in suitable recycling facilities.

4.2 RF energy safety

General precautions

Your terminal adheres to GSM norms for cellular technology and uses more recent radio frequency (RF) technology than the current FM technology, which has been used in radio communication for decades. The GSM norms have been adopted by many countries, making it suitable for use internationally.

Your cellular terminal is actually a low power radio transmitter and receiver. It sends out and receives radio frequency energy. When you use your terminal, the cellular system handling your call controls both radio frequency and the power level of your cellular terminal.

Exposure to RF energy

There is some public concern about the possible health effects of using cellular equipment, but these are unfounded. Research on the health effects of RF energy has focused on older technology, such as FM, but has also looked at digital technology (GSM) more recently and has shown that this product adheres to current safety requirements.
