Keep them out of the reach of small 6 children. Storage Always store and use the device with any covers attached and stored in the provided packaging. Safety distance The Easypulse Edge station emits a radio frequency. So to be safe, you need to keep a minimum of 1m away from the device when it is operating and always turn it off before carrying out any work. Also, never install it where it will be closer than 1m to people when operating. If the device needs maintenance, contact support@hiber.global. Only qualied personnel may perform maintenance on this device. Safety Precautions during handling of Batteries When used correctly, lithium batteries provide a safe and dependable source of power. As previously mentioned under no circumstances should unqualied individuals open up the device, however, for qualied personnel the following precautions should be taken to prevent misuse or abuse, injury, leakage, venting or in extreme cases, explosion and/or re. 1. Keep batteries out of the reach of children 7 2. Do not allow children to replace batteries without qualied adult supervision When replacing batteries, ensure they are placed correctly with regard to polarity. Failure to do so can result in overheating, leakage, venting, rupture, explosion, re and / or personal injury. 3. Do not short-circuit the batteries When the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of a battery are in electrical contact with each other, the battery becomes short-circuited. For example, loose batteries in a pocket with keys or coins, can be short-circuited. This can result in venting, leakage, explosion, re and/or personal injury. 4. Do not charge batteries Attempting to charge a non-rechargeable (primary) battery can cause internal gas and/or heat generation resulting in leakage, venting, explosion, re and//or personal injury. 5. Do not force discharge batteries When batteries are force discharged by means of an external power source, the voltage of the battery will be forced below its design capability and gases will be generated inside the battery. This can result in leakage, venting, explosion, re and/or personal injury. 6. Do not mix battery packs or batteries of dierent types or brands When replacing batteries, replace all of them at the same time with a new and Hiber-approved battery pack e.g replacement pack. Some batteries of a different brand and/or battery packs inserted in the device may lead to unexpected or adverse conditions in operation and/or result in device failure. This can also result in leakage, venting, explosion, re and/or personal injury. 7. Exhaust batteries should be immediately removed from equipment and properly disposed of When discharged batteries are kept in the equipment for a long time, electrolyte leakage can occur causing damage to the equipment and/or personal injury. 8. Do not heat batteries When a battery is exposed to heat, leakage, venting, explosion or re can occur and will result in personal injury. 9. Do not weld or solder directly to batteries The heat from welding or soldering directly to a battery can cause leakage, venting, explosion and/or re and can cause personal injury. 8 10. Do not dismantle batteries and/or battery pack When a battery/battery pack is dismantled or taken apart, contact with the components can be harmful and can cause personal injury or re. 11. Do not deform batteries Batteries should not be crushed, punctured, or otherwise mutilated. Such abuse can cause leakage, venting, explosion or re and cause personal injury. 12. A lithium battery with a damaged container should not be exposed to water Lithium metal in contact with water can produce hydrogen gas, re, explosion and/or cause personal injury. 13. Do not encapsulate and/or modify batteries and/or battery pack Encapsulation or any other modication to a battery and/or battery pack can result in blockage of the safety vent mechanism(s) and subsequent explosion and personal injury. Therefore, no modications to battery packs should be carried out by anyone other than the battery manufacturer. 14. Store unused batteries/battery packs in their original packaging away from metal objects. If already unpacked, do not mix or jumble batteries Unpacked batteries could get jumbled or get mixed with metal objects. This can cause battery short-circuiting which can result in leakage, venting, explosion or re, and personal injury. One of the best ways to prevent this from happening is to store unused batteries in their original packaging, if available. No modications to battery packs should be carried out by anyone other than the battery manufacturer. 15. Remove batteries from equipment if it is not to be used for an extended period of time unless it is for emergency purposes It is advantageous to remove batteries immediately from equipment which has ceased to function satisfactorily, or when a long period of disuse is anticipated. Although most lithium batteries on the market today are highly leak resistant, a battery that has been partially or completely exhausted might be more prone to leak than one that is unused. 16. Do not dispose of batteries in a re When batteries are disposed of in a re, the heat build-up can cause an explosion and/or can cause personal injury. 9 Packaging and Handling of Battery Cartons The packaging is adequate to avoid mechanical damage during transport, handling and stacking. Do not store batteries and/or battery packs in any other storage container other than that provided by Hiber so as to prevent the development of unintentional electrical contact, short-circuit, shifting and/or corrosion of terminals, and afford some protection from the environment. 10 3.

- Magnets or Adhesive
- Mounting solution (provided by Hiber)
- Custom Mounting Solution (down to the request of the Customer/Client) Mounting with magnets Example of custom mounting solution 14 Installation Best Practice Install the Edge station with a clear line of sight, in a horizontal position and mounted on top of the vehicle with no obstruction mounted/placed on the top of the device (e.g., do not place under the vehicle, under a seat in a cabin or park in an enclosed space). This will benet the RF performance component of the Edge station coverage leading to better availability of the network. Due to vibration testing on-going, do not place the device on the under-carriage of a railcar use case. Edge Station Vehicle Choice As the edge station is still in the R&D phase; the range of machines and vehicles to be compatible with the device are not, as of yet, dened. This is why the edge station has been designed with installation-exibility in mind. Edge Station Terminal Activation Procedure Step 1: Identifying location & connecting to the satellite The Edge station requires an internet connection for initial conguration set up. Therefore, please ensure this is done prior to going into the eld for installation. This process is only temporary. In the future, there will be a working forward link - this will enable in-eld conguration set up. Step 2: Activating the device & establishing connection Hold the magnet over the (location sensor/sticker) and wait until you hear a beep from the device, hold it there until the pitch of the beep goes up. If The device is now turned on (beware! The sound is very soft). Once the device is turned on, place it somewhere where it has clear visibility to the sky for a good connection and in a horizontal position. Step 3: Verifying successful satellite connection & observing customer data You can check the device is enabled and successfully operating by logging into the Hiber Easypulse Mission Control. 15 Table of parameters collected, description, respective unit, range (min-max) Parameter Description Unit(s) Range 16 Location Geofence Distance Speed Shock Vibration Motion Run-time Idle-time Coordinates of location at the time of data capture Entry and exit captures of enclosed area Latitude, longitude

1. Step 1: Create a location which describes the area of the geofence, if it doesn't already exist 2. Step 2: Create an alarm (or reuse an existing alarm) using the location dened in step 1 3. Step 3: Assign the alarm from step 2 to the asset(s) you want to monitor with a geofence 4. When the asset moves outside the location (dened in step 1) an alarm (dened in step 2) will be triggered. You can see notications of such alarms in the Alerts Panel or you can subscribe to receive notications for modem alarms by setting your email preferences in the Notications section. 5. Environmental Protection Avoid sea water Using this device in marine environments with exposure to salt water may damage the enclosure. Therefore, it is recommended that care is taken to ensure the device avoids sea water as best possible. Snow The possibility of snow coverage on the top surface of the device may hinder the RF performance of the Edge station. Therefore, it is recommended that inspection of the device is carried out to ensure expected operational availability. 18 6.
