Wireless Communications

IMPORTANT

  Due to the transmission and reception properties of wireless communications, 

data occasionally can be lost or delayed. 

Data loss or delay can be caused by variation in radio signal strength that results from changes in 
the characteristics of the radio transmission path. Although data loss is rare, the environment where 
you operate the modem may adversely affect communications.

Novatel Wireless or its partners will not be held responsible for damages of any kind resulting 
from the delays or errors in data transmitted or received with Ovation MC545/MC547, or failure of 
Ovation MC545/MC547 to transmit or receive such data.
