Radiodetection RD8100 Guide D'utilisation page 4

WARNING! Direct connection to live conductors is POTENTIALLY LETHAL. Direct
connections to live conductors should be attempted by fully qualified personnel only
using the relevant products that allow connections to energized lines.
WARNING! The transmitter is capable of outputting potentially lethal voltages.
Take care when applying signals to any pipe or cable and be sure to notify other
technicians who may be working on the line.
WARNING! Reduce audio level before using headphones to avoid damaging
your hearing.
WARNING! This equipment is NOT approved for use in areas where hazardous
gases may be present.
WARNING! When using the transmitter, switch off the unit and disconnect
cables before removing the battery pack.
WARNING! The RD8100 locator will detect most buried conductors but there
are some objects that do not radiate any detectable signal. The RD8100, or any
other electromagnetic locator, cannot detect these objects so proceed with
caution. There are also some live cables which the RD8100 will not be able to
detect in Power mode. The RD8100 does not indicate whether a signal is from a
single cable or from several in close proximity.
WARNING! Batteries can get hot after prolonged use at full output power.
Take care while replacing or handling batteries.
WARNING! Only use charging equipment provided by Radiodetection. The use of
alternative chargers may cause a safety hazard and/or reduce the life of the battery.
CAUTION: Do not let your battery completely discharge as this may reduce its life
or damage it permanently. If you are not using your equipment for a long period
charge them at least once a month.
WARNING! Do not tamper with, or attempt to disassemble the battery packs.
CAUTION: If battery failure is suspected or if the battery shows any sign of
discoloration / physical damage return the entire unit to an authorized repair
center for investigation and repair. Local, national or IATA transport regulations
may restrict the shipment of faulty batteries. Check with your courier for
restrictions and best practice guidelines. Your local Radiodetection representative
will be able to direct you to our authorized repair centers.
NOTE: The charging temperature range is 0 to 45 °C, 32 to 113°F. Do not attempt
to recharge your batteries outside this temperature range.
