Intended USE

With high-speed cellular interface (3G and beyond), the F2816 V2 modem are highly versatile,
reliable and rugged modem designed for M2M industry in the IoT industry chain.
Device uses public cellular network GPRS/CDMA/WCDMA/EVDO/LTE to provide long distance,
wireless data transmission to users. Typical application scenarios are intelligent
transportation, smart grid, industrial automation, telemetry, finance, POS, water supply,
environment protection, post, weather, and other similar ones. Cellular interface is the only
connectivity mode.

As mentioned above F2816 series have not been designed, intended nor inspected to be used in
any high error tolerance military-, aviation-, space-, marine- or any life depending/supporting
medical or other similar applications and intended use in such applications which could lead to
casualties, material losses or heavy environmental damage is prohibited.
External PC based configuration SW provided by the manufacturer or AT commands are the
recommended methods for configuring them.

Safety Instructions

Device generates radio frequency (RF) power. When using care must be taken on safety or
security issues related to power supply, interaction with networks, RF interference as well as to
regulatory aspects of RF equipment (RED) and other standing regulations e.g. related to
environment.
Read these Safety and General precautions instructions carefully before using the product:

Warranty will be void, if the product is used in any way that is in contradiction with the
instructions given in its manual, or if the housing has been opened or tampered with. Do not
try to disassemble or modify the modem; there is no user serviceable part inside and the
warranty would be void.
