Safety
General Safety
The modem is designed for and intended to be used in fixed and mobile applications. "Fixed" means that the device is
physically secured at one location and is not able to be easily moved to another location. "Mobile" means that the
device is designed to be used in other than fixed locations.
Caution: Maintain a separation distance of at least 20 cm (8 inches) between the transmitter's antenna and the body of
the user or nearby persons. The Modem is not designed for or intended to be used in portable applications within 20
cm. (8 inches) of the body of the user.
RF Interference Issues
It is important to follow any special regulations regarding the use of radio equipment due in particular to the possibility
of radio frequency, RF, interference. Please follow the safety advice given below carefully.
●
Switch OFF your MultiModem when in an aircraft. The use of cellular telephones in an aircraft may endanger the
operation of the aircraft, disrupt the cellular network and is illegal. Failure to observe this instruction may lead to
suspension or denial of cellular telephone services to the offender, or legal action or both.
●
Switch OFF your MultiModem when around gasoline or diesel‐fuel pumps and before filling your vehicle with fuel.
●
Switch OFF your MultiModem in hospitals and any other place where medical equipment may be in use.
●
Respect restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants or where blasting operations are
in progress.
●
Operation of your MultiModem close to other electronic equipment may also cause interference if the equipment is
inadequately protected. Observe any warning signs and manufacturers' recommendations.
Interference with Pacemakers and Other Medical Devices
Potential interference
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from cellular devices can interact with some electronic devices. This is electromagnetic
interference (EMI). The FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure EMI of implanted cardiac pacemakers
and defibrillators from cellular devices. This test method is part of the Association for the Advancement of Medical
Instrumentation (AAMI) standard. This standard allows manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and
defibrillators are safe from cellular device EMI.
The FDA continues to monitor cellular devices for interactions with other medical devices. If harmful interference
occurs, the FDA will assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.
Precautions for pacemaker wearers
If EMI occurs, it could affect a pacemaker in one of three ways:
●
Stop the pacemaker from delivering the stimulating pulses that regulate the heart's rhythm.
