• Near medical or life-support equipment
In areas where medical equipment may be susceptible to
any form of radio interference. In such areas the AirCard
USB modem can transmit signals that could interfere with
this equipment.
• On board aircraft
In addition to Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) require ­
ments, many airline regulations state that you must sus ­
pend wireless operations before boarding an aircraft. The
AirCard USB modem is capable of transmitting signals
that could interfere with various onboard systems and con­
trols.
Failure to observe this instruction may lead to suspension
or denial of cellular telephone services to the offender,
legal action, or both.
Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while
the aircraft is on the ground and the door is open. The Air-
Card USB modem may be used normally at this time.
• While operating a vehicle
The driver or operator of any vehicle should not use a
wireless data device while in control of a vehicle. Doing so
detracts from the driver or operator's ability to control and
operate the vehicle. In some countries, using such commu­
nications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offence.
