Basic safety instructions
Please read the following safety instructions carefully before using the product for the first time.
- ▪
- Do not operate the terminal while driving in road traffic. Come to a standstill in order to use the unit.
- ▪
- Before maintenance or repair to the tractor, always disconnect the connection between the tractor and the terminal.
- ▪
- Before charging the tractor battery, always disconnect the connection between the tractor and the terminal.
- ▪
- Before welding on the tractor or implement, always disconnect the power supply to the terminal.
- ▪
- Do not make any unauthorized modifications to the product. Unauthorized modifications or use may impair safety and reduce the service life or operability of the unit. Modifications are considered unauthorized if they are not described in the product documentation.
- ▪
- Follow all recognised safety, industrial and medical rules as well as all road traffic laws.
- ▪
- The product does not include any user-serviceable parts. Do not open the casing. If the casing is opened, its imperviousness can be changed.
- ▪
- Read the operating instructions to the agricultural device which you want to control by using the product.
Terminals with GSM modem
If the terminal is fitted with a built-in GSM modem, this will emit radio waves when it is switched on. These can interfere with other equipment or be harmful to human health.
You should therefore follow the instructions below when the terminal is fitted with a GSM modem:
- ▪
- If you wear a medical device, ask your doctor or the device manufacturer how to proceed in order to prevent risks. Medical devices such as pacemakers or hearing aids may be sensitive to the radio signal of the built-in GSM modem.
- ▪
- If you wear a pacemaker, keep the terminal away from the pacemaker.
- ▪
- Switch off the terminal as soon as you are close to a gas station, chemical plant, biogas plant or any other location where combustible gases or fumes may be present. These gases can be ignited by a spark and explode.
- ▪
- Always maintain a distance of at least 20 cm (8 inches) between the GSM antenna and your body.
- ▪
- Never switch the terminal on in an aircraft. Make sure that it is not accidentally switched on during flight.
- ▪
- Never connect the terminal by means of a power supply to the mains network. Only use the vehicle battery.
Using a camera
The camera serves solely for observing the implement functions in non-safety-related working areas of the agricultural implement.
In certain situations, the camera image may appear on the screen with a delay. The delay depends on the respective use of the terminal and can also be affected by external factors and devices.
For this reason, please note the following information:
- ▪
- Do not use the camera to assist with steering the vehicle: not in road traffic, and not on private properties.
- ▪
- Do not use the camera to watch the road traffic or when driving into intersections.
- ▪
- Do not use the camera as a rear view camera.
- ▪
- Do not use the camera as a visual aid for controlling the implement, especially when a delayed reaction can lead to risks.
- ▪
- Using a camera does not exempt you from your due diligence obligation to pay attention to safety when operating the implement.
