There can be a danger associated with the use of your GSM modem close to insufficiently protected medical
devices such as acoustic apparatus and pacemakers. Consult the manufacturers of medical equipment to
determine if it is adequately protected.
The use of your GSM modem close to other electronic equipment may also cause interference if the
equipment is insufficiently protected. Observe all the manufacturer’s warnings and recommendations for the
equipment.
