Important notice
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 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 network
card, or for failure of the Sierra Wireless network card to
transmit or receive such data.
