Safety and General Information

Medical Devices

Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed)
recommends that a minimum separation of 6 inches (15 cm) be
maintained between a wireless modem product and a pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with those of the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the modem product more than 6 inches (15 cm) from
their pacemaker when the modem product is turned ON.
• Turn the modem product OFF immediately if you have any reason
to suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless modem products may interfere with some hearing
aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your
hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer
of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy.
Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.

Operational Warnings

For Vehicles with an Air Bag
Do not place a portable modem product in the area over the air bag or
in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a
portable modem is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air
bag inflates, the modem product may be propelled with great force and
cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your modem product prior to entering any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a modem product type
especially qualified for use in such areas as "Intrinsically Safe" (for
example, Factory Mutual, CSA, or UL approved). Sparks in a potentially
explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily
injury or even death.
