Chapter 5 – Safety Notices and Warnings
The following safety statements may be relevant and required in the host product literature.
Radio Frequency (RF) Safety
Due to the possibility of radio frequency (RF) interference, it is important that you follow any special regulations
regarding the use of radio equipment. Follow the safety advice given below.
Operating your device close to other electronic equipment may cause interference if the equipment is
inadequately protected. Observe any warning signs and manufacturers’ recommendations.
Different industries and businesses restrict the use of cellular devices. Respect restrictions on the use of
radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants, or where blasting operations are in process. Follow
restrictions for any environment where you operate the device.
Do not place the antenna outdoors.
Switch OFF your wireless device when in an aircraft. Using portable electronic devices in an aircraft may
endanger aircraft operation, disrupt the cellular network, and is illegal. Failing to observe this restriction
may lead to suspension or denial of cellular services to the offender, legal action, or both.
Switch OFF your wireless device when around gasoline or diesel-fuel pumps and before filling your vehicle
with fuel.
Switch OFF your wireless device in hospitals and any other place where medical equipment may be in use.
Notice regarding Compliance with FCC, EU, and Industry Canada
Requirements for RF Exposure
The antenna intended for use with this unit meets the requirements for mobile operating configurations and for
fixed mounted operations, as defined in 2.1091 of the FCC rules for satisfying RF exposure compliance. This device
also meets the European RF exposure requirements of EN 62311. If an alternate antenna is used, consult user
documentation for required antenna specifications.
Compliance of the device with the FCC, EU and IC rules regarding RF Exposure was established and is given with
the maximum antenna gain as specified above for a minimum distance of 20 cm between the devices radiating
structures (the antenna) and the body of users. Qualification for distances closer than 20 cm (portable operation)
would require re-certification.
Wireless devices could generate radiation. Other nearby electronic devices, like microwave ovens, may also
generate additional radiation to the user causing a higher level of RF exposure.
Power Supply Caution
CAUTION: Do not replace the power supply with one designed for another product; doing so can damage the
modem and void your warranty. Adapter shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
CAUTION: Pour garantir une protection continue contre les risques d'incendie, remplacez les fusibles
uniquement par des fusibles du même type et du même calibre. L'adaptateur doit être installé à proximité de
l'appareil et doit être facilement accessible.
