Safety Precautions
The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of the operation, usage, service or
repair of any Personal Computer or Handheld Computer CDMA modem.
Manufacturers of the cellular terminal are advised to convey the following safety information to users and
operating personnel and to incorporate these guidelines into all manuals supplied with the product. Failure
to comply with these precautions violates safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of the
product. Panasonic assumes no liability for customer failure to comply with these precautions.
When in a hospital or other health care facility, observe the restrictions on the use of mobiles. Switch
Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating CDMA modem off, if instructed to do so by the
guidelines posted in sensitive areas. Medical equipment may be sensitive to RF energy.
The operation of cardiac pacemakers, other implanted medical equipment and hearing aids can be affected
by interference from Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating CDMA modem placed close
to the device. If in doubt about potential danger, contact the physician or the manufacturer of the device to
verify that the equipment is properly shielded. Pacemaker patients are advised to keep their Personal
Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating CDMA modem away from the pacemaker, while it is on.
Switch off Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating CDMA modem before boarding an
aircraft. Make sure it cannot be switched on inadvertently.
The operation of wireless appliances in an aircraft is forbidden to prevent interference with
communications systems. Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the suspension or denial of
cellular services to the offender, legal action, or both.
Do not operate Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating CDMA modem in the presence of
flammable gases or fumes. Switch off the cellular terminal when you are near petrol stations, fuel depots,
chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress. Operation of any electrical equipment in
potentially explosive atmospheres can constitute a safety hazard.
Your Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating CDMA or GSM/GPRS modem receives and
transmits radio frequency energy while switched on. Remember that interference can occur if it is used
close to TV sets, radios, computers or inadequately shielded equipment. Follow any special regulations and
always switch off Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating CDMA modem wherever
forbidden, or when you suspect that it may cause interference or danger.
Road safety comes first! Do not use a Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating CDMA
modem while driving a vehicle. Do not place the computer with CDMA modem in an area where it could
cause personal injury to the driver or passengers. It is recommended to stow the unit in the trunk or secure
stowage area while driving.
Do not place the computer with CDMA modem in an area over an air bag or in the vicinity where an air
bag may deploy.
Air bags inflate with great force and if the computer with CDMA modem is placed in the air bag
deployment area may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
IMPORTANT!
Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating CDMA modem operate using radio signals and
cellular networks cannot be guaranteed to connect in all conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely
upon any wireless device for essential communications, for example emergency calls.
Remember, in order to make or receive calls, Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating
CDMA modem must be switched on and in a service area with adequate cellular signal strength.
Some networks do not allow for emergency calls if certain network services or phone features are in use
(e.g. lock functions, fixed dialing etc.). You may need to deactivate those features before you can make an
emergency call.
Some networks require that a valid SIM card be properly inserted in Personal Computer
or Handheld Computer incorporating CDMA modem.
