1 Introduction
1 Introduction
The Identicom has the appearance of a simple ID card holder. It
holds your ID card, and also discreetly functions as a
communication device to help ensure your personal safety.
In the plastic body behind the ID card, the Identicom contains a
mobile phone, a SIM card and a microphone,
phone, together with
controls and indicators that allow you to operate the device.
There is also a vibration motor that can indicate confirmation of
your actions by giving recognisable periods of silent vibration.
The organisation that employs you, togetherr with a service
provider, are responsible for configuring the SIM card in your
Identicom so that it operates in the way best suited to your
needs. This configuration process includes setting up conditions
called “Amber Alerts” and “Red Alerts”, and defining
defini standard
text messages that will be sent to particular phone numbers in a
specific range of situations.
In this guide, where you see the symbol shown on the left, it
indicates that the mode of operation or feature being described is
configurable; that is, it may or may not have been enabled on
your device. Check with your manager, or the supplier of your
Identicom, for details of how your unit has been configured.
The main functions of the Identicom are:
•
Before entering a potentially dangerous situation,
situation you can
check the Identicom’s battery level and the signal strength
(to make sure that it will be able to operate effectively if
needed).
•
You can start an Amber Alert before you begin every visit.
This sends standard text messages, allows you to send a
brief voice message, and can alert your back-up
back
services to
check your situation if you haven’t cancelled the Amber
Alert within a set time.
•
You can start a Red Alert state with a discreet press of a
button while you are in a hazardous situation, or at any
06/10
page 1
1 Introduction
time when required. This sends standard text messages to
the designated phone numbers, and also opens a voice
link to allow the call centre to hear.
•
Identicom models with the Man Down functionality
(models i770 and i777) can automatically initiate a Red
Alert state if the unit detects symptoms that suggest that
the user has become incapacitated. (These symptoms are
configurable to suit each user’s needs.) The user can be
warned by a Pre-Alert vibration (and optionally a call to
the user’s mobile phone) before the Red Alert is initiated.
•
Identicom models i757 and i777 have an integrated Global
Positioning System (GPS) to assist with determining your
exact location in the event of an incident.
•
Identicom models t757 and t777 have advanced GPS
facilities that allow high frequency logging of GPS data,
uploading of the data log via GPRS, and geo-fencing
facilities for defined locations.
The front of the Identicom is shown below. With no ID card in
place, you can see the door to the recess where the SIM card is
installed.

can attach a lapel clip at point D instead of the lanyard.
The Status button allows you to check the status of the battery
and the phone signal strength, and to check whether an Amber or
Red Alert has been started. The status LEDs are visible through
the plastic cover adjacent to the Status button.
Press the Amber Alert button to start or cancel an Amber Alert.
Press the Red Alert button to start or cancel a Red Alert.
2 Initial Setup
This section describes how to prepare the Identicom for use,
covering installation of the lanyard or lapel clip, insertion of the
SIM card, insertion of the ID card, charging, care and
maintenance, and switching the device on and off. The box
containing your Identicom includes the following items:

2 Initial Setup
Installing the lanyard or lapel clip
You install the lanyard at corners A and B (see the illustration on
the previous page) for a landscape ID card, or at corners A and C
for a portrait ID card. The attachment at corner A is by way of a
plastic plug which fits tightly in its socket, but which will pull out if
tugged firmly. The Identicom can be configured so that pulling
the lanyard plug out of its socket will cause a Red Alert. This is
designed to help you in case a person tries to remove the
Identicom from you by force. A Red Alert caused in this manner is
referred to as a Rip Alarm Alert.
The figure below shows the plug in its socket at corner A.
Plug
Three plugs are provided with the Identicom offering increasing
degrees of tightness in the socket. Use the plug labelled 1 for the
tightest fitting, which requires the greatest amount of force to
remove it, or the plug labelled 3 for the lightest fitting, which
requires the least amount of force to remove it. We recommend
starting with the middle plug – labelled 2.
If you do not want to use the lanyard, you can attach a lapel clip
at point D (see the illustration on page 2). If you
u are not using the
lanyard, insert one of the plugs into the socket at corner A to
prevent dust or dirt from entering the socket.
Note:
You must either attach the lanyard, or just insert a
plug, before you attempt to charge or switch on the
Identicom.
Use the following procedure to attach the lanyard.
09/11
page 4
2 Initial Setup
1.
Thread the fine loop at one end of the lanyard part way
through the attachment hole in the plug you have selected to
use.
2.
Thread the other end of the lanyard through the loop of cord
that has passed through the hole in the plug. Pull the lanyard
tight, so that the loop of cord is snug around the plastic plug.
3.
Repeat this procedure with the other end of the lanyard at
the chosen attachment point (B for landscape or C for
portrait). Pull the lanyard tight, so that the loop of cord is
snug around the attachment point.
4.
Insert the plastic plug into its socket at corner A. The lanyard
is now attached.
Note:
There is no Rip Alarm switch at the lapel clip
attachment point. The Rip Alarm function can be
enabled with the lapel clip by using the lapel clip
lanyard accessory sold separately.
Inserting the SIM card
SIM card configuration is carried out by your employer, working
in conjunction with the service provider. The SIM card is normally
pre-configured so that you can use the Identicom immediately.
If your ID card is already fitted into the Identicom, you must
remove it to get access to the SIM card door. Gently press down
on the edge of the ID card nearest the exit slot, then slide the ID
card out.
Use the following procedure to insert the SIM card.
09/11
page 5
2 Initial Setup
1.
Make sure the device is switched off before inserting or
removing a SIM card. Use a finger nail, a small screwdriver tip
or a nail file to prise up the SIM card door next to the
rounded corner.

4.
Press down the card holder and slide the catch mechanism
away from the Identicom logo to secure the SIM card in
place.
5.
Close the SIM card door by pressing down on the rounded
corner.
The Identicom is now ready for use, but you should always charge
the device before using it.
Note:
You must insert a valid SIM card to be able to use the
unit.
Inserting your ID card
Fit your ID card into the slot at the right side of the Identicom (as
you look at the front) and slide it in until it clicks into place. To
remove your card, gently press down on the edge of the ID card
nearest the exit slot, then slide the card out.
Charging
The Identicom must be fully charged before you attempt to use it,
in order to condition the battery fully. We recommend leaving
the device on charge for a minimum of 6 hours.
To make sure that the battery is fully charged when you need to
use the Identicom, always charge the device in between uses.
09/11
page 7
2 Initial Setup
To charge the Identicom, plug in and switch on the charger, then
connect the charging cable to the Identicom charge connection
point (see the illustration on page 2).
When the Identicom is connected to the charger, the Battery LED
is active. (The Battery LED is on the back of the device, next to the
Status button.) As the battery charges, the LED changes from
flashing red, to flashing amber, and when the battery is fully
charged, to constant green. If the battery LED remains red for a
long period, the Identicom requires a service.
Note:
Placing the Identicom “on charge” automatically
switches the device on. When taken off charge, the
device remains switched on and ready to use.
Switching the device on and off
•
To check the Identicom is on, press the Status button for 2
seconds. If the LEDs do not start flashing, the Identicom is
off.
•
To switch the Identicom on, press the Status and Amber
buttons together until the LEDs start flashing. The device
vibrates briefly to confirm.
•
To switch the Identicom off, press the Status and Amber
buttons together until the device vibrates twice.
When the Identicom is on, it registers with the mobile phone
network and is ready to communicate an Amber or Red alert. If
you go out of coverage for more than 30 minutes, the Identicom
switches to a sleep mode to preserve battery power. This does
not stop the Identicom from working, but when you press any of
the buttons it will take slightly longer to connect the call or report
the status.
Care and maintenance
The Identicom is purposely designed so that you do not need to
perform any routine maintenance procedures. However, you
should note the following points about cleaning and general care.
09/11
page 8
3 Status Checking
Cleaning
Use a damp cloth (not wet) to remove any dirt from the
Identicom. Be very careful not to allow water into the unit,
particularly around the SIM card door.
Do not use any alcohol or chemical cleaning agents of any type.
Moisture resistance
The Identicom is not waterproof and you should take care not to
expose the unit to liquids of any kind, including water, rain, and
extreme humidity.
Impact damage
The Identicom is made from a tough ABS plastic case. It is
designed
igned to resist a certain amount of damage caused by general
use, but will not withstand heavy impacts.
Removal of SIM cards
If the SIM card needs to be removed from the device the unit
MUST be turned off. Do not remove the SIM whilst the unit is
turned on or whilst on charge, as this will cause the unit not to
function.
3 Status Checking
You can check the Identicom’s battery level and the phone signal
strength before a visit, so that you can make sure that it will be
able to operate effectively if needed.. Your Identicom can be
configured so that this status information is also sent as a text
message to your administrator or monitoring centre.
09/11
page 9
3 Status Checking
Battery and signal status checking
Press and hold the Status button until both the LEDs start to flash
red. After
ter a short while, the battery and signal LEDs stop flashing
to indicate the following:
Green
Amber
Red
Battery
Good
Low
Poor
Signal
Good
Low
Poor or no
network signal
If either LED is red, you should not rely on the Identicom in an
emergency.
When the battery LED is Amber, you should recharge the
Identicom as soon as possible.
Refer to the Technical Specifications in section 9 of this guide for
expected battery life, when charged.
Identicom offers the facility of using vibration patterns to indicate
in
activation of the Status Check and to confirm that neither the
network coverage nor battery strength LED is red. This function
aids the use of Identicom by the visually impaired. The vibration
patterns are described in the table in Section 8 of this guide.
There is another configurable option to display the current GPS
location fix status at the end of a Status Check. See Section 7 of
this guide for further details.
Ending the status display
When both the status LEDs have displayed their status for 5
seconds, the LEDs are turned off and the device is ready for use.
Note:
If you press the status button when the unit is out of
coverage, the status is displayed to you by way of the
LEDs, but the unit waits until it is back in coverage
before attempting to
o send any text messages.
09/11
page 10
3 Status Checking
SIM card faults
If no SIM card is fitted, or there is a fault with the SIM card, the
Identicom flashes the battery and signal LEDs red alternately for
two seconds, and then switches itself into the ‘power off’ state.
You must insert a valid SIM card to be able to use the unit.
Red and Amber Alert status
If the Identicom is in an Amber Alert state or a Red Alert state
when the Status button is pressed, the signal status LED shows a
two second constant indication of the state:
•
Constant amber for two seconds indicates an Amber Alert
is in progress.
•
Constant red for two seconds indicates a Red Alert is in
progress.

4 Amber Alerts
4 Amber Alerts
An Amberr Alert is an advance warning to your back-up
back
services
that you are about to enter a potentially dangerous situation.
Typically, you would start an Amber Alert before you enter the
situation, such as in the street or your car before entering a
house. This gives you the privacy to send a brief voice message
describing the situation and/or details of your location.
Your Identicom can be configured so that the Amber Alert lasts
for a set period. If you take no action at the end of this Amber
Alert period, the device automatically escalates into a Red Alert
to advise your back-up
up services that a problem has been
encountered.
Most of the options described below for Amber Alerts are
configurable. Check with your manager, or the supplier of your
Identicom, for details
ails of how your unit has been configured.
Starting an Amber Alert
Press the Amber Alert button for at least 1.5 seconds to start an
Amber Alert. The Identicom gives three short bursts of vibration
to confirm the state. If configured, the Amber Alert text message
is sent to the designated numbers.
If configured, the Identicom also opens a voice call to the
designated number, so that you can send a voice message to
describe the situation. The Signal and Battery LEDs show constant
amber while the call is beingg connected, and then turn to flashing
amber when the connection has been made. The flashing amber
LEDs are the prompt to start the voice message. There is also the
option of having the device vibrate once when the LEDs switch
from constant to flashing as an aid for the visually impaired.
The time allowed for you to send the voice message can be set
between 1 and 60 seconds. Ten seconds before the end of this
call period, the LEDs change back to constant amber to warn you
that the call period is soon ending.. When the voice call period
ends, the Signal and Battery LEDs go out. There is the option of
09/11
page 12
4 Amber Alerts
having a timer period initiated after the voice call period ends.
This is detailed later in this section.
When you start the Amber Alert, the Identicom attempts to dial,
to allow your voice message to be left. If the voice call cannot be
connected, it will retry connecting the call the configured number
of times (between 0 and 9).
The length of time allowed for an Amber Alert Timer period,
initiated after the voice call period ends, can be configured for
each Identicom to be anything between 1 and 120 minutes.
If you press the Status button during an Amber Alert Timer
period, the Signal status LED shows amber to confirm the Amber
Alert state.
At the end of the Amber Alert Timer period, the Identicom gives
five long bursts of vibration to remind you to take some action.
(This vibration pattern can also be configured for the number of
bursts and duration per burst.) There is then a one minute period
for you to decide what action to take. The options at the end of
this Amber Alert Timer period are explained in the next section.
Your Identicom can be configured to use Amber Alerts without
any timer period. In this mode of operation, there is no automatic
escalation from Amber Alert to Red Alert.
Options when in an Amber Alert timer period
Your options when in an Amber Alert Timer period are to cancel
it, to extend the period, or to allow it to escalate into a Red Alert.
•
You can press the Amber Alert button for more than 1.5
seconds to cancel the Amber Alert Timer period. This
signifies that the potential danger did not arise, or that
you are now away from the hazardous situation. The
Identicom signals confirmation by giving two short
vibrations. The pre-configured Amber Alert Cancelled text
message is sent to the designated numbers.
09/11
page 13
5 Red Alerts
•
You can press the Amber Alert button for less than 1.5
seconds to extend the Amber Alert Timer period. The
duration of the extension is configurable between 1 and
60 minutes. The Identicom gives a short burst of vibration
to confirm the extension. The end of the extension period
is signalled in the same way as the original Amber Alert
Timer period, and you can continue to extend repeatedly,
for as long as you need. Your
our Identicom can also be
configured
gured to send a text message when you choose to
extend the Amber Alert Timer period.
•
If you do nothing when the Amber Alert Timer period
ends, the implication is that you were not able to take any
action, the Identicom enters the Red Alert state. (This is
described in Section 5 of this guide.)
You do not have to wait for the signalled end of the Amber Alert
Timer period to cancel it or extend it. Pressing the Amber Alert
button for more or less than 1.5 seconds at any time during the
Amber Alert Timer period will cancel or extend the period, as
described above.
5 Red Alerts
A Red Alert is an emergency state. It is not necessarily a violent
situation: it could be a case of verbal abuse which you want your
back-up services to listen to and record.
Note:
The legality of recording such events varies from
country to country. Please check with your service
provider.
Most of the options described below for Red Alerts are
configurable.
rable. Check with your manager, or the supplier of your
Identicom, for details of how your unit has been configured.
Starting a Red Alert
There are four ways of starting a Red Alert:
09/11
page 14
5 Red Alerts
•
Press the Red Alert button for more than 2.5 seconds (the
unit will vibrate) followed by a second press of the Red
Alert button to activate the call (within 15 seconds). If you
don’t press the button again within 15 seconds the unit
will vibrate to inform you that Red Alert did not occur.
If configured without double button press, simply
press the Red Alert button for more than 2.5
seconds. The duration of the press of the Red
Alert button to activate Red Alerts can be preconfigured between 0.2 and 3 seconds.
•
Allow an Amber Alert Timer period to expire and escalate
into a Red Alert.
•
If your Identicom is configured to do so, and your lanyard
is fitted, forcible removal of the lanyard plug will also start
a Red Alert. This type of Red Alert is also referred to as a
Rip Alarm Alert.
•
For models i770, i777 and t777 with the Man Down
function, the unit can detect symptoms that suggest that
you have become incapacitated. (These symptoms are
configurable to suit each user’s needs.) You are warned by
a Pre-Alert vibration (and optionally a call to your mobile
phone) before the Red Alert is initiated.
When a Red Alert is started, the Identicom gives three short
bursts of vibration to confirm the state. The Identicom opens a
voice call to the designated number and enables the microphone,
so that your back-up services can listen to and/or record the
situation. Also, the pre-configured Red Alert text messages are
sent to the designated numbers. Your Identicom can be
configured to send different messages to the primary and
secondary telephone numbers.
09/11
page 15
5 Red Alerts
Caution:
The three bursts of vibration confirm the start of the
Red Alert period, but there is normally a brief delay
while the mobile phone network makes the
connection. This can take several seconds, so do not
assume that everything is being recorded from the
point where the three bursts of vibration are made.
If you initiate a Red Alert when your unit is out of coverage, the
Identicom will not be able to send the Red Alert messages, so it
gives a single long vibration pulse instead of the three short
pulses. This indicates that the Red Alert has not been successfully
transmitted.
When a Red Alert is started, the Identicom attempts to dial the
voice call number. If the voice call cannot be connected, it will
retry connecting the call the configured number of times
(between 0 and 9). Your Identicom can also be configured to keep
trying to make the voice call connection continuously, with no
limit to the number of retries.
The call length of a Red Alert can be configured for each
Identicom to be anything between 1 and 120 minutes. The Red
Alert ends only when it is cleared by you, or, if your Identicom is
configured to do so, remotely by your service provider.
Voice call connection confirmation
Your Identicom can be configured to give a confirmation buzz (5
short buzzes) when a voice call connection is successfully made
by your monitoring service. This is designed to give reassurance
that the Red Alert situation is now being monitored.
Heartbeat pulse
During an active Red Alert call, your Identicom can be configured
so that it will periodically vibrate like a heartbeat (two short
pulses, repeated – the repeat time is configurable). This is to
provide reassurance to you that the call is active and open, and
that someone is listening to and/or recording events.
09/11
page 16
5 Red Alerts
In a Man Down Red Alert (models i770 and i777 only), the
heartbeat function
n delivers three short pulses rather than two, to
enable the monitoring service to distinguish the type of Red Alert.
Rip Alarm Alerts
If your lanyard is fitted (see Section 2 of this guide), your
Identicom can be configured to enable Rip Alarm Alerts. These
The
occur if the lanyard plug is forcibly removed from its socket –
such as if someone tries to take the device from you. Once
started, a Rip Alarm Alert is handled in exactly the same way as
any other Red Alert.
Note:
Rip Alarm Alerts cannot be triggered by
b the lapel clip
unless the lapel clip lanyard accessory is utilised.
Man Down Red Alerts (models i770, i777 and t777 only)
The way in which the Man Down functionality can detect
symptoms that suggest that you have become incapacitated can
be configured to take account of the type of work you do, and the
risks you may encounter.
The Man Down detection features are configurable. Check with
your manager, or the supplier of your Identicom, for details of
how your unit has been configured.
There are three aspects
cts of Man Down detection that can be
configured:
1.
Change in orientation. The unit detects a change in angle
from the vertical (a degree of tilt) and measures the period
for which the tilt continues. For example, if your working
habits are such that you (and your Identicom) are normally
upright, and you have a fall or are knocked over, the unit
could detect if you remain in a horizontal position.
2.
Period of non-movement.
movement. The unit has a movement sensor
and a threshold time value can be set so that the unit

Sudden, rapid movement. The unit’s movement sensor can
detect a sudden, rapid movement, such as might be caused
by an impact, or being knocked over. The unit can also be
configured so that the period of non-movement is much
shorter following a detected impact than it would be under
normal circumstances. For example, the period of nonmovement could be set at three minutes before an alarm
was raised in normal circumstances, but this could be
reduced to 30 seconds of non-movement in the event of a
sudden impact.
Your employer will have determined the most appropriate
settings for configuring your device.
Man Down detection can be configured so that it is active at all
times, or so that it is active only when you are in an Amber Alert
state, and the Amber Alert timer is running.
Man Down detection is always disabled when the unit is on its
charger, or switched off.
Man Down Pre-Alert
To avoid raising a Man Down Red Alert simply because of a
naturally occurring period of non-movement, or change in
orientation, the device can be configured to enter a Pre-Alert
period before initiating the Red Alert. If the device detects what
could be a Man Down situation (based on your configured
profile), it will first raise a Pre-Alert. The Pre-Alert period can be
configured for any time up to four minutes. During this period,
the Identicom will attempt to alert you to the imminent Man
Down condition by means of a vibration pattern, and (if
configured) by calling your mobile phone. Any movement of the
Identicom will cancel the Man Down condition, as it can now
detect that you are capable of normal movement.
09/11
page 18
5 Red Alerts
If you do not cancel the Man Down condition (by moving your
Identicom), a Man Down Red Alert will be raised at the end of the
Pre-Alert period.
During a Man Down Red Alert, the Heartbeat function repeatedly
vibrates with three short pulses, repeated every defined period
(the repeat time is configurable) to provide reassurance to you
that the call is active and open. You can clear a Man Down Red
Alert in the same way as any other Red Alert (see below).
Clearing a Red Alert
Press the Red Alert button for more than 1.5 seconds to clear the
alert. The duration of the press of the Red Alert button to
deactivate Red Alerts can be pre-configured between 0.2 and 3
seconds.
This signifies that the dangerous situation has eased. The
Identicom signals confirmation by giving two short vibrations. The
pre-configured Red Alert Cleared text messages are sent to the
designated numbers. Also, the voice call link is terminated. Your
Identicom can be configured to send different messages to the
primary and secondary telephone numbers.
There are two ways that your Identicom can be configured to
clear Red Alerts:
•
A Red Alert can be cleared only by you pressing the Red
Alert button for more than 1.5 seconds.
•
A Red Alert can be cleared either by you pressing the Red
Alert button for more than 1.5 seconds, or remotely by
the service provider terminating the call.
Your managers or the service providers will be able to tell you
how your Identicom is configured.
To cancel a Rip Alarm Alert, you must first re-insert the lanyard
plug, and then press the Red Alert button for more than 1.5
seconds. This applies whether it was a genuine Rip Alarm, or
whether the lanyard was detached accidentally.

6 GPS Operation (i757 and i777 only)
Identicom models i757 and i777 can be configured so that a GPS
location request is made in any or all of the following situations:
•
When you press any of the Identicom buttons
•
When you check the statuss of your Identicom
•
When you enter an Amber Alert state
•
When you enter a Red Alert state
The GPS operation features are configurable. Check with your
manager, or the supplier of your Identicom, for details of how
your unit has been configured.
In the eventt of a serious incident, transmission of your exact
location coordinates will help to ensure a speedier response in
sending you assistance.

7 GPS Operation (t757 and t777 only)
7 GPS Operation (t757 and t777 only)
Identicom models t757 and t777 can be configured so that GPS
location information
on is logged at a much higher frequency than is
possible with the i-series
series Identicoms, and is transmitted via GPRS
to the monitoring service.
Standard GPS operation is still available (as in the i-series
units),
but GPRS communication is faster, more reliable
ble and offers
further benefits:
•
Using GPS data for device tracking
•
Uploading the data log via GPRS
•
Detecting when the device enters or exits a geo-fence
geo
zone. (Up to 100 such zones can be defined.)
The advanced GPS operation features are configurable. Check
with your manager, or the supplier of your Identicom, for details
of how your unit has been configured.
One of the configurable options is to display the current GPS
location fix status at the end of a Status Check. If configured, the
Signal LED flashes
shes blue for up to two minutes if the device is
searching for a GPS fix, and displays a steady blue for five seconds
if the latest GPS location fix gave a valid location. The steady blue
“valid GPS fix” indication can be accompanied by a single short
vibration, if required.
You should always perform a status check and get a GPS location
fix after turning your Identicom on or moving outside from
indoors.
GPS requires a clear line of site to the sky, not obstructed by
buildings or other obstacles. The GPS location operation will not
work whilst the unit is indoors.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
The Identicom, as for all Global System Mobile communication
(GSM) based products, emits low frequency signals in the form of
Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Energy (RFEE). The absorption
of RFEE is measured by the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in units
of Watts per kilogram (W/kg). It is defined as the rate at which
RFEE is absorbed per unit mass of a biological body.
The maximum SAR value for a model t777 Identicom is 1.43
W/kg. The maximum SAR value for a model i770 Identicom is 1.29
W/kg. The European R&TTE Directive quotes a maximum SAR
value of 2 W/kg. This value includes a substantial margin of
safety. The Identicoms are therefore below this limit and actual
Identicom SAR values during normal operation are often below
their 1.43 W/kg and 1.29 W/kg maximum stated values.
Risks associated with pacemakers
Due to the maximum SAR values of 1.43 W/kg and 1.29 W/kg,
Identicom should not impair the performance of implanted
pacemakers. However, the general recommendation is to
maintain at least 15 centimetres between a GSM-based device
and a pacemaker. If you are in any doubt, seek advice and
clarification from your physician and/or the manufacturer of your
specific pacemaker.
Use of Identicom in restricted areas
Use of Identicom, as with mobile phones, should be in
accordance with regulations, protocols and stipulations relating
to the specific environment. Where the use of mobile phones is
prohibited, the Identicom should be turned off. There may be
09/11
page 27

risks associated with interference with equipment sensitive to
RFEE (such as aircraft, hospitals and healthcare facilities) or
potentially explosive environments (such as petrol stations and
chemical plants).
