This alert warns of a potential hazard which, if not avoided, could result in severe injury or even death.
This alert warns of a potential hazard or unsafe practice that could result in minor injury or property damage or irretrievable data loss.
An absence of specific alerts does not mean that there are no safety risks involved.
Use and care
This product is designed to withstand the rough treatment and tough environment that typically occurs in
The magnetic mount option for this device must not be used on vehicles while they are being driven on public roads and highways due to the possible risk of personal injury or property damage should the unit become detached. Use the permanent exterior mounting options or secure the unit inside the vehicle if driving on public roads and highways.
Operating or storing the receiver outside the specified temperature range can damage it.
Regulations and safety
Some receiver models with base station capability contain an internal radio-modem for transmission or can transmit through an external data communications radio. In some countries, the unit can be used without obtaining an end-user license. Other countries require end-user licensing. For licensing information, consult your local Trimble dealer.
All Trimble receiver models described in this documentation are capable of transmitting data through Bluetooth wireless technology.
Bluetooth wireless technology and 2.4 GHz radio-modems operate in license-free bands.
Before operating a Trimble receiver or GSM modem, determine if authorization or a license to operate the unit is required in your country. It is the responsibility of the end user to obtain an operator's permit or license for the receiver for the location or country of use.
For FCC regulations, see Notices.
Type approval
Type approval, or acceptance, covers technical parameters of the equipment related to emissions that can cause interference. Type approval is granted to the manufacturer of the transmission equipment, independent from the operation or licensing of the units. Some countries have unique technical requirements for operation in particular radio-modem frequency bands. To comply with those requirements, Trimble may have modified your equipment to be granted type approval.
Unauthorized modification of the units voids the type approval, the warranty, and the operational license of the equipment.
Contact your sales representative if you wish to review the type approval certificate for the SPS receiver.
Exposure to radio frequency radiation
For Bluetooth radio
The radiated output power of the internal Bluetooth wireless radio and the Wi-Fi radio included in some Trimble receivers is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the wireless radio(s) shall be used in such a manner that the Trimble receiver is further from the human body by a distance specified below. The internal wireless radio(s) operate within guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, which reflect the consensus of the scientific community. However, the use of wireless radios may be restricted in some situations or environments, such as on aircraft. If you are unsure of restrictions, you are encouraged to ask for authorization before turning on the wireless radio.
Lithium-ion Battery safety
Charge and use the rechargeable Lithium-ion battery only in strict accordance with the instructions. To prevent injury or damage:
- Discontinue charging a battery that gives off extreme heat or a burning odor.
- Use the battery only in Trimble equipment that is specified to use it.
- Use the battery only for its intended use and according to the instructions in the product documentation.
