Safety Summary 1

The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of

operation, service and repair of this equipment.

Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in

this manual violates safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of

the equipment. Thrane & Thrane A/S assume no liability for the customer's

failure to comply with these requirements.

Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere

Do not operate the equipment in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.

Operation of any electrical equipment in such an environment constitutes a

definite safety hazard.

Keep Away from Live Circuits

Operating personnel must not remove equipment covers. Component

replacement and internal adjustment must be made by qualified maintenance

personnel. Do not replace components with the power cable connected.

Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages may exist even with the power

cable removed. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power and discharge

circuits before touching them.

Do Not Service Alone

Do not attempt internal service or adjustments unless another person,

capable of rendering first aid resuscitation, is present.

Do Not Substitute Parts or Modify Equipment

Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not substitute

parts or perform any unauthorized modification to the equipment.

Keep Away from Active Antenna Front

This device emits radio frequency energy when

switched on. To avoid injury, keep a minimum safety

distance of 0.6 m from the antenna front when the

EXPLORER™ 500 is on. See also the below section

Antenna Safety Instructions.

Only Use Approved Batteries from Thrane & Thrane

Use of non approved batteries may result in explosion, fire, electrical shock

or injury.

Observe Marked Areas

Under extreme heat conditions do not touch areas of

the EXPLORER™ 500 that are marked with this

symbol, as it may result in injury.

Antenna Safety Instructions

TT 98-122274-J iv

Antenna Safety Instructions 2

Use Only Manufacturer Supplied Antennas

Antenna Minimum Safe Distance: 60 cm

Antenna Gain

Directional, with maximum gain of 11.1 dB reference to isotropic.

The Federal Communications Commission has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to RF

(Radio Frequency) energy which is below the OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Act) limits.

Antenna Mounting

The antenna supplied by the manufacturer must be located such that during radio transmission, no

person or persons can come closer than the above indicated minimum safe distance to the antenna, i.e.

60 cm.

To comply with current FCC RF Exposure limits, the antenna must be installed at or exceeding the

minimum safe distance shown above, and in accordance with the requirements of the antenna

manufacturer or supplier.

Antenna Substitution

Do not substitute any antenna for the models supplied or recommended by the manufacturer. You may

be exposing people to excess radio frequency radiation. You may contact the manufacturer for further

instructions.

Radiation Warning

You, as the qualified end-user of this radio device, must control the exposure conditions of bystanders

to ensure the minimum separation distance (above) is maintained between the antenna and nearby

persons, for satisfying RF Exposure compliance. The operation of this transmitter must satisfy the

requirements of Occupational/Controlled Exposure Environment, for work-related use. Only use the

terminal when persons are at least the minimum distance from the front face of the antenna.

WARNING! Maintain a separation distance of at least 60 cm from the front face of

the antenna to a person.
