3.4 Exposure to RF energy
There has been some public concern about possible health effects of using a GSM
modem. Although research on health effects from RF energy has focused for many
years on the current RF technology, scientists have begun research on newer radio
technologies, such as GSM. After reviewing existing research and testing compliance
with all applicable safety standards, 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
minimize 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 guidelines below.
3.5 Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular devices in the area where you
drive. Always obey them. Also, when using your PEGASUS 71xx series while driving,
please pay full attention to driving, pull off the road and park before making or answering
a call if driving conditions so require. When applications are prepared for mobile use,
they should comply with road-safety rules under applicable laws!
3.6 Electronic devices
Most electronic equipment, for example in hospitals and motor vehicles is shielded from
RF energy. However, RF energy may have adverse affects on the functioning of
insufficiently shielded or defective electronic devices.
3.7 Vehicle electronic equipment
Check with your vehicle manufacturer’s representative to determine if all on-board
electronic equipment is adequately shielded from RF energy.
3.8 Medical electronic equipment
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as pacemakers,
hearing aids, etc.) to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy.
Turn your PEGASUS 71xx series device OFF in health care facilities when any
regulations posted in the area instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities
may be using RF monitoring equipment
