IMPORTANT FOR THE EFFICIENT AND SAFE OPERATION OF YOUR GSM-MODEM, READ THIS INFORMATION
BEFORE USE
!
Your cellular engines FOX3-KMD are one of the most exciting and innovative electronic products ever developed.
With them, you can stay in contact with your office, your home, emergency services and others, wherever
service is provided.
This chapter contains important information for the safe and reliable use of the FOX3-KMD devices. Please read
this chapter carefully before starting to use the cellular engines FOX3-KMD.
2.1. General information
Your FOX3-KMD devices utilize the GSM/GNNS standard for cellular technology. GSM is a newer radio frequency
(„RF“) technology than the current FM technology that has been used for radio communications for decades.
The GSM standard has been established for use in the European community and elsewhere. Your FOX3-KMD are
actually a low power radio transmitter and receiver. They send out and receives radio frequency energy. When
you use your modem, the cellular system handling your calls, controls both the radio frequency and the power
level of your cellular modem.
2.2. Exposure to RF energy
There has been some public concern about possible health effects of using GSM modems. Although research on
health effects from RF energy has focused for many years on the current RF technology, scientists have begun
research regarding newer radio technologies, such as GSM. After existing research had been reviewed, and after
compliance to all applicable safety standards had been tested, 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.
2.3. 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 FOX3-KMD 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 fulfil road-safety instructions of the current law!
2.4. Electronic devices
Most electronic equipment, for example in hospitals and motor vehicles is shielded from RF energy. However, RF
energy may affect some malfunctioning or improperly shielded electronic equipment.
2.5. Vehicle electronic equipment
Check your vehicle manufacturer’s representative to determine if any on board electronic equipment is
adequately shielded from RF energy.
2.6. 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 FOX3-KMD devices 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.
