SAFETY INFORMATION Chapter 5 – Safety Information Handling Precautions To avoid damage due to the accumulation of static charge, use proper precautions when handling any cellular device. Although input protection circuitry has been incorporated into the devices to minimize the effect of static build-up, use proper precautions to avoid exposure to electronic discharge during handling and mounting the device.
SAFETY INFORMATION General Safety The device is designed for and intended to be used in fixed and mobile applications. Fixed means the device is physically secured at one location and cannot be easily moved to another location. Mobile means the device is used in other than fixed locations.
Do not place the device alongside computer discs, credit or travel cards, or other magnetic media. The information contained on discs or cards may be affected by the device. Using accessories, such as antennas, that MultiTech has not authorized or that are not compliant with MultiTech's accessory specifications may invalidate the warranty.

GETTING STARTED Keep the device on the opposite side of the body from the pacemaker to add extra distance between the pacemaker and the device. Avoid placing a turned-on device next to the pacemaker (for example, don’t carry the device in a shirt or jacket pocket directly over the pacemaker).
For the Windows USB driver, refer to the SARA-R4 USB Driver Installation Guide on the product page of the MultiTech website. The driver is located under the Downloads section of the product page. For the Linux USB driver, if your Linux OS does not automatically detect your device, you may need to execute a script.
GETTING STARTED Note: N_RESET of the 40 pin connector is directly connected to NRST of the STM32L471QG processor. The processor controls the PWR_ON(RADIO_ONOFF/PE_4) and RESET_N(RADIO_RESET/PF_3) pins to the radio. Low Power Modes NOTE for MNG3: eDRX and PSM modes are not supported in 2G (all modes are supported using Cat M1). To achieve lowest power consumption, we recommend powering down the radio then configuring RADIO_PWR, VMEM_EN and BUF_EN as analog inputs with no pull resistor.
GETTING STARTED To properly power down the cellular radio, use one of the following methods: Issue command AT+CPWROFF then either wait 40s or until 1.8v from the cellular radio goes low. Processor pin PC5 (Mbed pin name MON_1V8) has 1.8v from the radio connected to it. Hold pin processor PE_4 (Mbed pin name RADIO_ONOFF or MDMPWRON) low for at least 1.5s.
For the Windows USB driver, refer to the SARA-R4 USB Driver Installation Guide on the product page of the Multitech website. The driver is located under the Downloads section of the product page. For the Linux USB driver, if your Linux OS does not automatically detect your device, you may need to execute a script.
