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

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 MC7354B modem MUST BE POWERED
OFF. Otherwise, the MC7354B modem can transmit signals that could interfere with this

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.
