LIFE SUPPORT POLICY
These products are not designed for use in life support
appliances, devices, or systems where malfunction of
these products can reasonably be expected to result in
personal injury. GE Mining Australia customers using or
selling these products for use in such applications do so at
their own risk and agree to fully indemnify GE Mining

ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE/COMPATIBILITY
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to
electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately
shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for
electromagnetic compatibility.
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or
compatibility conflicts, do not use this device in any facility
where posted notices instruct you to do so. In aircraft, use
of any radio frequency devices must be in accordance
with applicable regulations. Hospitals or health care
facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to
external RF energy.
With medical devices, maintain a minimum separation of
15 cm (6 inches) between pacemakers and wireless
devices and some wireless radios may interfere with some
hearing aids. If other personal medical devices are being
used in the vicinity of wireless devices, ensure that the
device has been adequately shielded from RF energy. In a
domestic environment this product may cause radio
interference in which case the user may be required to
take adequate measures.
WARNING
Both active components contain rechargeable
lithium- Ion batteries that are not user
replaceable.
Do NOT incinerate, puncture, heat or damage
your battery operated device.
Charge only on approved docking stations sold
with the product. Listed under ‘Charging’ within
this document
Any changes or modifications not expressively
approved by GE could void the user’s authority
to operate this equipment and will void all
product warranties.
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn off your electronic device before entering an area
with potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but
your electronic device could generate sparks. Sparks in
such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in
bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are
often, but not always, clearly marked. They include
fuelling areas, such as petrol station, below deck on
boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and
areas where the air contains chemicals or particles,
such as grain, dust, or metal powders.

Overview
PROD1006-x - The Personnel Protection Unit (PPU) is comprised of three parts:
1. PROD1061 - PPU Remote Alarm
This unit is fitted to the operator’s helmet visor
during normal operation. The Remote Alarm is a
visual indicator extension of the paired host Tag.
The Remote Alarm is fitted to the PPU tag for
pairing, charging and testing the device.
2. PROD1060-x - The PPU Tag
The Tag communicates with CAS-GPS enabled
fleet for situational awareness. The Tag is worn
on the user’s belt. The Tag contains GPS
functionality for Geo-location and should be
worn outside of clothing for maximum
performance.
3. PROD1064 - Remote Alarm Helmet Adaptor
This adaptor is used for fixing the remote alarm
to a helmet visor.
Fitting the Remote Alarm Helmet Adaptor
1. Clean the top surface of the helmet visor as per the helmet manufacturer’s
Instructions.
2. Fit the Remote Alarm to the Helmet Adaptor.
3. Peel the self-adhesive backing from the rear of the helmet adaptor.
4. Apply the Remote Alarm and Adaptor to the helmet visor so that the ledge of
the Remote Alarm will be visible to the helmet user. Press firmly.
5. The Remote Alarm is removed from the Helmet Adaptor for charging, pairing
and testing by depressing the spring levers located on the side of the Remote
Alarm.
