Because of the nature of wireless communications, trans- mission and reception of data can never be guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors) or be totally lost. Although significant delays or losses of data are rare when wireless devices such as the Sierra Wireless network card are used in a normal manner with a well-constructed network, the Sierra Wireless network card 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, Inc. accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or received using the Sierra Wireless network card, or for failure of the Sierra Wireless network card to transmit or receive such data.

In such areas, the Sierra Wireless network card MUST BE POWERED OFF. The Sierra Wireless network card can transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment.

Do not operate the Sierra Wireless network card in any aircraft, whether the aircraft is on the ground or in flight. In aircraft, the Sierra Wireless network card MUST BE POWERED OFF.

When operating, the Sierra Wireless network card can transmit signals that could interfere with various onboard systems.

The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the Sierra Wireless network card while in control of a vehicle. Doing so will detract from the driver or operator's control and operation of that vehicle. In some states and provinces, operating such communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offence.
