10. Safety Recommendations
10.1. General Safety
For the efficient and safe operation of your programmable modem, please read the
following information carefully.
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. Carefully
follow the safety advice given.
Switch OFF your programmable modem:
• 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,
• When at a refueling point,
• When in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere which could cause
an explosion or fire,
• 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,
• Places where blasting operations are in progress,
• Any area where the use of a cellular telephone is forbidden or dangerous.
• Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle
engine.
Turn your modem OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It
is rare, but your modem or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks in such
areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injuries or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly
marked. They include below decks on boats and areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives, in the compartment of
your vehicle which contains your modem or accessories.
Before using your modem in a vehicle powered by liquefied petroleum gas (such as
propane or butane) ensure that the vehicle complies with the relevant fire and safety
regulations of the country in which the vehicle is to be used.
