Getting Started

  Road safety comes 

fi

 rst! Do not use a Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating wireless WAN modem 

while driving a vehicle. Do not place the computer with wireless WAN modem in an area where it could cause personal 

injury to the driver or passengers. It is recommended to stow the unit in the boot or secure stowage area while driving. 

 

Do not place the computer with wireless WAN modem in an area over an air bag or in the vicinity where an air bag may 

deploy. 

 

Air bags in

fl

 ate with great force and if the computer with wireless WAN modem is placed in the air bag deployment area 

may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.

 IMPORTANT!

Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating wireless WAN modem operate using radio signals and cellular 

networks cannot be guaranteed to connect in all conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any wireless 

device for essential communications, for example emergency calls.

Remember, in order to make or receive calls, Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating wireless WAN 

modem must be switched on and in a service area with adequate cellular signal strength.

Some networks do not allow for emergency calls if certain network services or phone features are in use (e.g. lock func-

tions, 

fi

 xed dialing etc.). You may need to deactivate those features before you can make an emergency call.

Some networks require that a valid SIM card be properly inserted in Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorpo-

rating wireless WAN modem.
