6. Regulatory Information
6.1.
Important Notice
Because of the nature of wireless communications, transmission 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 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.
6.2.
Safety and Hazards
Do not operate your AirPrime SL8084T modem:
In areas where blasting is in progress
Where explosive atmospheres may be present including refueling points, fuel depots, and
chemical plants
Near medical equipment, life support equipment, or any equipment which may be susceptible
to any form of radio interference. In such areas, the SL8084T modem MUST BE POWERED
OFF. Otherwise, the SL8084T modem can transmit signals that could interfere with this
equipment.
In an aircraft, the SL8084T modem MUST BE POWERED OFF. Otherwise, the SL8084T modem can
transmit signals that could interfere with various onboard systems and may be dangerous to the
operation of the aircraft or disrupt the cellular network. Use of a cellular phone in an aircraft is illegal in
some jurisdictions. Failure to observe this instruction may lead to suspension or denial of cellular
telephone services to the offender, or 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 SL8084T modem may be used normally at this time.
6.3.
Important Compliance Information for North
American Users
The SL8084T modem has been granted modular approval for mobile applications. Integrators may
use the SL8084T modem in their final products without additional FCC/IC (Industry Canada)
certification if they meet the following conditions. Otherwise, additional FCC/IC approvals must be
obtained.
1. At least 20 cm separation distance between the antenna and the user's body must be
maintained at all times.
2. To comply with FCC/IC regulations limiting both maximum RF output power and human
exposure to RF radiation, the maximum antenna gain including cable loss in a mobile-only
exposure condition must not exceed 6 dBi in the cellular band and 3.5 dBi in the PCS band.
3. The SL8084T modem and its antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with
any other transmitter or antenna within a host device.
