The radio modem must be operated only in accordance with the valid frequency license issued by national frequency authority and all radio parameters have to be set exactly as listed.

	Important
	Use of frequencies between 406.0 and 406.1 MHz is worldwide-allocated only for International Satellite Search and Rescue System. These frequencies are used for distress beacons and are incessantly monitored by the ground and satellite Cospas-Sarsat system. Other use of these frequencies is forbidden.

Safety distances with respect to the US health limits of the electromagnetic field intensity are in Minimum Safety Distance tables below, calculated for different antennas and RipEX power levels. The distances were calculated according to the health limits and apply to far-field region only. Whenever the result is comparable or smaller than the actual size of the respective antenna, the field intensity is even smaller than the far-field based calculation and the safety limit is never exceeded. For output power 0.2 W or lower the safety limit is not exceeded at any distance and any of the antennas.

For detailed Minimum Safety Distances refer to RipEX User Manual.

COMPANY-supplied parts or equipment (“equipment”) is covered by warranty for inherently faulty parts and workmanship for a warranty period as stated in the delivery documentation from the date of dispatch to the customer. The warranty does not cover custom modifications to software. During the warranty period COMPANY shall, on its option, fit, repair or replace (“service”) faulty equipment, always provided that malfunction has occurred during normal use, not due to improper use, whether deliberate or accidental, such as attempted repair or modification by any unauthorised person; nor due to the action of abnormal or extreme environmental conditions such as overvoltage, liquid immersion or lightning strike.

Any equipment subject to repair under warranty must be returned by prepaid freight to COMPANY direct. The serviced equipment shall be returned by COMPANY to the customer by prepaid freight. If circumstances do not permit the equipment to be returned to COMPANY, then the customer is liable and agrees to reimburse COMPANY for expenses incurred by COMPANY during servicing the equipment on site. When equipment does not qualify for servicing under warranty, COMPANY shall charge the customer and be reimbursed for costs incurred for parts and labour at prevailing rates.

This warranty agreement represents the full extent of the warranty cover provided by COMPANY to the customer, as an agreement freely entered into by both parties.

COMPANY warrants the equipment to function as described, without guaranteeing it as befitting customer intent or purpose. Under no circumstances shall COMPANY‘s liability extend beyond the above, nor shall COMPANY, its principals, servants or agents be liable for any consequential loss or damage caused directly or indirectly through the use, misuse, function or malfunction of the equipment, always subject to such statutory protection as may explicitly and unavoidably apply hereto.
