7 Safety and Product Care
Please read the information in this section and the information in “Installation
of the Modem”, before starting your integration work!
7.1 General precautions
The GT864-QUAD/PY Terminal as a stand alone item is designed for indoor use only. To use
outside it must be integrated into a weatherproof enclosure. Do not exceed the environmental and
electrical limits as specified in “Technical Data”.
•
Avoid exposing the modem to lighted cigarettes, naked flames or to extreme hot or cold
temperature.
•
Never try to dismantle the modem yourself. There are no components inside the modem that can
be serviced by the user. If you attempt to dismantle the modem, you may invalidate the warranty.
•
The GT864-QUAD/PY Terminal must not be installed or located where the surface temperature
of the plastic case may exceed 85°C.
•
All cables connected to the GT864-QUAD/PY Terminal must be secured or clamped, immediately
adjacent to the modem's connectors, to provide strain relief and to avoid transmitting excessive
vibration to the modem in the installation.
•
Ensure the d.c. cable, supplying power to the GT864-QUAD/PY Terminal, does not exceed 3
metres.
•
To protect power supply cables and meet the fire safety requirements when the unit is powered
from a battery or a high current supply, connect a fast 1.25A fuse in line with the positive supply.
•
Do not connect any incompatible component or product to the GT864-QUAD/PY Terminal.
7.2 SIM card precautions
Before handling the SIM card in your application, ensure that you are not charged with static
electricity. Use proper precautions to avoid electrostatic discharges.
•
When the SIM card hatch is opened, the SIM card connectors lie exposed under the SIM card
holder.
Caution: Do not touch these connectors! If you do, you may release an electrical discharge that could
damage the modem or the SIM card.
