Wireless Communications; Safety Hazards - Verizon Wireless MiFi 2200 Product User Manual

Wireless communications

IMPORTANT Notice
Due to the transmission and reception properties of wireless communications, data can
occasionally be lost or delayed. This can be due to the variation in radio signal strength that
results from changes in the characteristics of the radio transmission path. Although data loss is
rare, the environment where you operate the MiFi 2200 may adversely affect
communications.
Variations in radio signal strength are referred to as fading. Fading is caused by several
different factors including signal reflection, the ionosphere, and interference from other radio
channels.
Verizon Wireless or its partners will not be held responsible for damages of any kind resulting
from the delays or errors in data transmitted or received with the MiFi 2200 device, or failure
of the MiFi 2200 device to transmit or receive such data.
Safety hazards
Do not operate the MiFi 2200 device in an environment that may be susceptible to radio
interference resulting in danger specifically;
Areas where prohibited by the law
Follow any special rules and regulations and obey all signs and notices. Always turn
o
off the host device and remove the modem from the USB port when instructed to
do so, or when you suspect that it may cause interference or danger.
Where explosive atmospheres may be present
Do not operate the MiFi 2200 in any area where a potentially explosive
o
atmosphere may exist. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death. Be aware and comply with all signs and
instructions.
Users are advised not to operate the MiFi 2200 while at a refueling point or
o
service station. Users are reminded to observe restrictions on the use of radio
equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical plants or
where blasting operations are in progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly
o
marked. Potential locations can include gas stations, below deck on boats,
chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such
as propane or butane), areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as
grain, dust or metal powders, and any other area where you would normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
