SIM900E Document
Although significant delays or losses of data are rare when wireless devices such as the SIMCom modem are used
in a normal manner with a well-constructed network, the SIMCom 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. SIMCom and its affiliates accept no responsibility for
damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or received using SIMCom modem, or for
failure of the SIMCom modem to transmit or receive such data.
Safety caution
Marks Requirements
When in a hospital or other health care facility, observe the restrictions about the use of mobiles.
Switch the cellular terminal or mobile off, medical equipment may be sensitive to not operate
normally for RF energy interference.
Switch off the cellular terminal or mobile before boarding an aircraft. Make sure it is switched off.
The operation of wireless appliances in an aircraft is forbidden to prevent interference with
communication systems. Forget to think much of these instructions may lead to the flight safety or
offend against local legal action, or both.
Do not operate the cellular terminal or mobile 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 cellular terminal or mobile receives and transmits radio frequency energy while switched on.
RF interference can occur if it is used close to TV sets, radios, computers or other electric
equipment.
Road safety comes first! Do not use a hand-held cellular terminal or mobile when driving a
vehicle, unless it is securely mounted in a holder for hands free operation. Before making a call
with a hand-held terminal or mobile, park the vehicle.
GSM cellular terminals or mobiles operate over radio frequency signals and cellular networks and
cannot be guaranteed to connect in all conditions, for example no mobile fee or a invalid SIM card.
While you are in this condition and need emergent help, please remember using emergency calls.
In order to make or receive calls, the cellular terminal or mobile must be switched on and in a
service area with adequate cellular signal strength.
Some networks do not allow for emergency call if certain network services or phone features are in
use (e.g. lock functions, fixed dialing etc.). You may have to deactivate those features before you
can make an emergency call.
Also, some networks require that a valid SIM card be properly inserted in the cellular terminal or
mobile.
