Important notice
Because of the nature of wireless communications, trans‐
mission 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.
Safety and hazards
Do not operate your MC57xx / MC8xxx modem:
•
In areas where blasting is in progress
Where explosive atmospheres may be present including
•
refuelling 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 MC57xx / MC8xxx modem
MUST BE POWERED OFF. Otherwise, the MC57xx /
MC8xxx modem can transmit signals that could interfere
with this equipment.
In an aircraft, the MC57xx / MC8xxx modem MUST BE
POWERED OFF. Otherwise, the MC57xx / MC8xxx 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 MC57xx /
MC8xxx modem may be used normally at this time.
