SPECIAL NOTICE
WARNING TO USERS AND AFFECTED PERSONS
The Remote Firing Device (RFD) is designed to be used in blasting operations.
Explosives used in connection with the RFD may be extremely powerful. Improper use
of explosives with or without the RFD or improper safety precautions taken with respect
to personnel or property may result in death, serious personal injury, or property
damage. Other manufacturers’ equipment that may not be in compliance with
frequency coordination may inadvertently interfere with the operation of the RFD. Be
aware of other operations within the receiving range of the RFD.
The literature accompanying this warning contains information of a general nature for
users of the RFD based upon the Manufacturer’s experience in the design and
manufacture of remote radio frequency devices. In addition, the Manufacturer provides
product literature and technical data sheets periodically which should be consulted for
detailed information on the characteristics, specifications and recommendations for the
RFD. The Manufacturer does not purport to give information or advice on explosives or
their use.
The RFD and related explosive devices are intended for use only by trained
professionals having comprehensive knowledge of the RFD, the explosives being used,
and the application together with all related safety precautions. The Manufacturer of the
RFD is responsible only for the proper performance of the RFD itself and is not
responsible for the performance, safety, or specifications of the explosive used, nor the
suitability of the RFD for any particular purpose other than that expressly described in
the Manufacturer’s literature.
