The modem is designed for and intended to be used in fixed and mobile applications. “Fixed” means that the device is physically secured at one location and is not able to be easily moved to another location. “Mobile” means that the device is designed to be used in other than fixed locations and generally in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 cm (8 inches) is normally maintained between the transmitter’s antenna and the body of the user or nearby persons. The Modem is not designed for or intended to be used in portable applications (within 20 cm. or 8 in. of the body of the user) and such uses are strictly prohibited.

It is important to follow any special regulations regarding the use of radio equipment due in particular to the possibility of radio frequency, RF, interference. Please follow the safety advice given below carefully.

Power OFF your Wireless MultiModem when in an aircraft. The use of cellular telephones in an aircraft may endanger the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the cellular network and is illegal. Failure to observe this instruction may lead to suspension or denial of cellular telephone services to the offender, or legal action or both.

Power OFF your Wireless MultiModem when around gasoline or diesel-fuel pumps and before filling your vehicle with fuel.

Power OFF your Wireless MultiModem in hospitals and any other place where medical equipment may be in use.

Respect restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress.

There may be a hazard associated with the operation of your Wireless MultiModem close to inadequately protected personal medical devices such as hearing aids and pacemakers. Consult the manufacturers of the medical device to determine if it is adequately protected.

Operation of your Wireless MultiModem close to other electronic equipment may also cause interference if the equipment is inadequately protected. Observe any warning signs and manufacturers’ recommendations.

Vehicle Safety

Respect national regulations on the use of cellular telephones in vehicles. Road safety always comes first.

If incorrectly installed in a vehicle, the operation of Wireless MultiModem telephone could interfere with the correct functioning of vehicle electronics. To avoid such problems, be sure that qualified personnel have performed the installation. Verification of the protection of vehicle electronics should be part of the installation.

The use of an alert device to operate a vehicle’s lights or horn on public roads is not permitted.
