EX-Relevant Safety Regulations

Operator must observe conventional safety regulations and have read the Operating Manual, Safety Instructions, and certificate. For use in explosive atmospheres, comply with additional safety instructions:

Covers:

• Inside explosion hazardous areas, covers for the 16-pin ISM interface and USB-C interface must be closed.
• The 12-pin docking interface does not require covering in hazardous areas but should be protected from dirt when not in use.

Accessories

Only accessories approved by i.safe MOBILE GmbH are permitted for connection to the 16-pin ISM interface outside hazardous areas. Within hazardous areas, the following accessories may be used:

• Headset IS-HS2A.1
• Remote Speaker Microphone IS-RSM3A.1
• PTT Button IS-PTTB1A.1
• PTT Button IS-PTTB1A.1 with Headset IS-HDHS1x.1
• Other accessories approved by i.safe MOBILE GmbH.

When connecting the IS-PTTB1A.1 with the IS-HDHS1x.1 headset, the Nexus® connection can be disconnected/reconnected inside hazardous areas. If using IS-PTTB1A.1 without the headset, the unused Nexus®-jack may remain open, but should be protected from dirt when not in use.

Velcro fasteners on accessories (e.g., IS-HDHS1B.1 headset) may only be adjusted outside hazardous areas.

The 16-pin ISM connector of accessories must be securely fastened to the 16-pin ISM interface.

The Docking Station IS-DS940.1 or approved accessories can be connected to the 12-pin docking interface within hazardous areas.

IP-Protection

To ensure IP protection, all gaskets must be present and functional. There must be no significant gap between the battery and housing.

SIM and SD Cards

Nano-SIM cards and microSD cards (type IS-SD164.1 or compliant) may be used in the hazardous area slots if they comply with the intrinsic safety entity parameters specified in the certificate.

Intrinsic Safety Parameters for SIM/SD Cards:

• Nano-SIM: V_OC = 5.88 V, C_a = 41 µF, L_a = 1 µH
• SD Cards: V_OC = 5.88 V, C_a = 25 µF, L_a = 1 µH

Impacts and Conditions of Use

The device must be protected from high-impact energy, excessive UV light emission, and high electrostatic charge processes.
