IMPORTANT FOR THE EFFICIENT AND SAFE OPERATION OF
YOUR GSM/GPRS MODEM READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE
USE !
Your GSM or GSM/GPRS modem is one of the most exciting and
innovative electronic products ever developed. With it you can stay in
contact with your office, your home, emergency services, and others,
wherever service is provided.
1.1.1 GENERAL
Your modem utilises the GSM standard for cellular technology. GSM is a
newer radio frequency (« RF ») technology than the current FM technology
that has been used for radio communications for decades. The GSM
standard has been established for use in the European community and
elsewhere.
Your modem is actually a low power radio transmitter and receiver. It sends
out and receives radio frequency energy. When you use Your modem, the
cellular system handling your calls controls both the radio frequency and the
power level of your cellular modem.
1.1.2 EXPOSURE TO RF ENERGY
There has been some public concern about possible health effects of using
GSM or GSM/GPRS modem. Although research on health effects from RF
energy has focused for many years on the current RF technology, scientists
have begun research regarding newer radio technologies, such as GSM.
After existing research had been reviewed, and after compliance to all
applicable safety standards had been tested, it has been concluded that the
product is fit for use.
If you are concerned about exposure to RF energy there are things you can
do to minimise exposure. Obviously, limiting the duration of your calls will
reduce your exposure to RF energy. In addition, you can reduce RF
exposure by operating your cellular modem efficiently by following the
below guidelines.
1.1.3 EFFICIENT MODEM OPERATION
For Your modem to operate at the lowest power level, consistent with
satisfactory call quality:
If Your modem has an extendible antenna, extend it fully. Some models
allow you to place a call with the antenna retracted. However Your modem
operates more efficiently with the antenna fully extended.
Do not hold the antenna when the modem is « IN USE ». Holding the
antenna affects call quality and may cause the modem to operate at a higher
power level than needed.
