634-9367 | This equipment is equipped with a radio frequency device(s) . When electric detonators are being used for blasting operations, radio frequency devices can cause interference, which can result in serious injury or death. Caterpillar recommends that the end user perform their own risk assessment to determine a safe operating distance, and, at all times, maintain the radio frequency device outside the distance mandated under all applicable national or local regulatory requirements. Explosion Hazard! Connecting or disconnecting a live device in an area with volatile or flammable gases may cause an explosion resulting in serious injury or death. Do not disconnect the device unless external power has been disconnected or unless the area is free of ignitable concentrations. NOTICE The transmission of information from this radio frequency device may be subject to various legal requirements depending on the jurisdiction in which the equipment outfitted with the device is located. These legal requirements may include, but are not limited to, radio frequency use authorization. The transmission of information from this device must be limited to those locations where all legal requirements for the use of this device and communication network have been satisfied. Note that if the equipment outfitted with this device is located in or relocated to a location where (i) the transmission of information from the device would not comply with the legal requirements of the local jurisdictional or (ii) the transmission or processing of such information across multiple locations would not be legal, Caterpillar disclaims any liability related to such failure to comply, and Caterpillar may discontinue the transmission of information from that equipment. Consult your Cat dealer with any questions that concern the operation of this system in a specific jurisdiction. Reference: Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual of your product for additional information. sDoC: (Simplified Declaration of Conformity) European Union Hereby, Caterpillar Inc. declares this radio equipment is in compliance with directive“2014/53/EU”. The full text of the European Declaration of Conformity is available at the following web address: [https://www.cat.com/radio-compliance](https://www.cat.com/radio-compliance) Great Britain Hereby, Caterpillar Inc. declares this radio equipment is in compliance with the relevant statutory requirements.
