Approvals And Safety Summary
Danger Of Electrocution When Cleaning/Servicing The Device
In order to avoid electrocution always disconnect the vehicle-mount from the
power supply before cleaning or servicing the device.
Charging The Car Battery
While charging the car battery, the 8580/8590 has to be either disconnected from
the battery or it has to be determined that the maximum allowed input voltage of
the vehicle-mount is not exceeded. (see “Power Supply” on page 13 and “Power
Supply” on page 44).
Wiring
Do not use the 8580/8590 when a cable or plug is damaged. Have the damaged
parts replaced immediately!
Connecting Or Disconnect Cables During Storms
Never connect or disconnect data cables during an electrical storm.
External Peripheral Devices
The use of additional wiring and other peripheral devices, which are not recom-
mended or sold by the manufacturer can result in fire, electrocution or personal
injury.
If a power supply is used, only use the power supply recommended by the manu-
facturer.
Before connecting or disconnecting peripheral devices (exception: USB
devices), the 8580/8590 must be disconnected from the power supply! Other-
wise, this could seriously damage both the vehicle-mount and the connected
devices!
Make sure that external peripheral devices with their own power supply are
switched on at the same time or after you start the 8580/8590. If this is not possi-
ble, please ensure that the 8580/8590 is adequately protected from power leakage
caused by an external device.
