you can utilize Network Services. Your service provider may need to give you additional instructions for their use and explain what charges will apply. Some networks may have limitations that affect how you can use Network Services.

This device operates using radio signals, wireless networks, landline networks, and user-programmed functions. Because of this, connections in all conditions cannot be guaranteed. You should never rely solely on any wireless device for essential communications.

10.2ANTENNA

This device requires a separate antenna. If the antenna is to be mounted outside, consider the risk of lightning. Follow the instructions provided by the antenna manufacturer. Never connect more than one device to a single antenna. The device can be damaged by radio frequency energy from the transmitter of another module.

Like any mobile station, the antenna of the device emits radio frequency energy. To avoid EMI (electromagnetic interference), you must determine whether the application itself, or equipment in the application’s proximity, need further protection against radio emission and the disturbances it might cause.

In any event, you should contact your local antenna manufacturer for additional information concerning antenna types, cables, connectors, antenna placement, and the surrounding area. You should also determine whether the antenna needs to be grounded or not. Your local antenna manufacturer might be able to design a special antenna suitable for the application.

In order to comply with RF exposure guidelines, install the external antenna so that a minimum distance of 20 cm (8 inches) can be maintained between the external antenna and all persons, with external antenna gain not exceeding 3 dBi. Note that you may be required to provide SAR measurement test report and declaration.

10.3MEDICAL DEVICES

Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including this device, may interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical devices. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

10.4VEHICLES

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles such as electronic fuel injection systems, electronic antiskid (antilock) braking systems, electronic speed control systems, air bag
