Please read and consider the information under the following headings
before starting your integration work:
• Safety advice and precautions.
• Installation of the radio device.

8.1 Safety Advice and Precautions
8.1.1 General
• Always ensure that use of the radio device is permitted. The radio
device may present a hazard if used in proximity to personal medical
electronic devices. As a rule, the radio device must not be used in
hospitals, airports or planes.
• You are responsible for observing your country’s safety standards, and
where applicable the relevant wiring rules.
• Never use the radio device at a gas station, refuelling point, blasting
area or in any other environment where explosives may be present.
• Operating the radio device close to other electronic devices, such as
antennas, television sets, and radios may cause electromagnetic
interference.
• Never try to dismantle the radio device yourself. There are no
components inside the radio device that can be serviced by the user. If
you attempt to dismantle the radio device, you may invalidate the
warranty.
• To protect the power supply cables and meet the fire safety
requirements, it is recommended that the electrical circuits are supplied
with a power regulator. The power regulator should be placed as close
to the terminals of the power supply as possible.
• Do not connect any incompatible component or product to the radio
device.

deviations caused thereby.
• The connection/disconnection method for the development board is by
means of the DC power jack. For this reason, the mains supply should
be situated close to the development board and be easily accessible.
