IMPORTANT FOR THE EFFICIENT AND SAFE OPERATION OF YOUR GSM/GPRS MODEM
READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USE !
Your 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.
1.1.4 ANTENNA CARE AND REPLACEMENT
Do not use the modem with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes
into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Replace a damaged antenna
immediately. Consult your manual to see if you may change the antenna yourself. If
so, use only a manufacturer-approved antenna. Otherwise, have your antenna
repaired by a qualified technician.
