General Safety
Driving
Check the laws and the regulations regarding the use of cellular devices in the area where you have to drive as
you always have to comply with them. When using your modem while driving, please: give full attention to
driving, pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.
Electronic Devices
Most electronic equipment, for example in hospitals and motor vehicles is shielded from RF energy. However RF
energy may affect some improperly shielded electronic equipment.
Vehicle Electronic Equipment
Check your vehicle manufacturer representative to determine if any on-board electronic equipment is adequately
shielded from RF energy.
Medical Electronic Equipment
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as pacemakers, hearing aids, etc...) to
determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Turn your modem OFF in health care
facilities when any regulations posted in the area instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be
using RF monitoring equipment.
Aircraft
Turn your modem OFF before boarding any aircraft.
·
Use it on the ground only with crew permission.
·
Do not use it in the air.
To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require
you to have permission from a crewmember to use your modem while the aircraft is on the ground. To prevent
interference with cellular systems, local RF regulations prohibit using your modem while airborne.
Children
Do not allow children to play with your modem. It is not a toy. Children could hurt themselves or others (by
poking themselves or others in the eye with the antenna, for example). Children could damage the modem, or
make calls that increase your modem bills.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your unit OFF when in a « blasting area » or in areas posted: «
turn off two-way radio ». Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to set off explosives.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your modem OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your modem or
its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily
injuries or even death. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked.
They include fueling areas such as petrol stations; below decks on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities; and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Do not
transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives, in the compartment of your vehicle that contains your
modem or accessories. Before using your modem in a vehicle powered by liquefied petroleum gas (such as
propane or butane) ensure that the vehicle complies with the relevant fire and safety regulations of the country in
which the vehicle is to be used.
