Regulatory and safety information

Notice

Because of the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of
data can never be guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted (that is, have
errors), or be totally lost. Although significant delays or losses of data are rare
when wireless devices such as the Sierra Wireless modem are used in a normal
manner with a well-constructed network, the Sierra Wireless modem should not
be used in situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in
damage of any kind to the user or any other party, including but not limited to
personal injury, death, or loss of property. Sierra Wireless and its affiliates accept
no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data
transmitted or received using the Sierra Wireless modem, or for failure of the
Sierra Wireless modem to transmit or receive such data.

Safety and hazards

The modem MUST BE POWERED OFF in all areas that may be susceptible to
radio interference, in particular:
•Prohibited areas
Obey all signs and notices and follow all rules and regulations. Power off the
modem when instructed to do so or when you suspect that it may cause inter-
ference or danger.
•In areas where blasting is in progress
•Where explosive atmospheres may be present
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are not always clearly marked.
Such areas include gas stations, fuel depots, chemical transfer or storage
facilities, areas where blasting is in progress, areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders, and any other
area where you would normally be advised to turn off your cellular phone or
vehicle engine.
•Near medical or life-support equipment
Medical equipment may be susceptible to any form of radio interference. In
such areas the modem can transmit signals that could interfere with this
equipment.
•On board aircraft
In addition to Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) requirements, many airline reg-
ulations state that you must suspend wireless operations before boarding an
aircraft. The modem is capable of transmitting signals that could interfere with
various onboard systems and controls.
Failure to observe this instruction may lead to suspension or denial of cellular
telephone services to the offender, legal action, or both.
Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while the aircraft is on the
ground and the door is open. The modem may be used normally at this time.
