1.1. Safety Information 

 

The following  safety  precautions must  be  observed  during  all  phases  of  the  operation,  such  as  usage, 

service  or  repair  of  any  cellular  terminal  or  mobile incorporating  Quectel  module.  Manufacturers  of  the 

cellular  terminal  should  send  the  following  safety  information  to  users  and  operating  personnel,  and 

incorporate  these  guidelines  into  all manuals  supplied  with  the  product.  If  not  so,  Quectel  assumes  no 

liability for customer

’s failure to comply with these precautions.   

 

 

 

Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to reduce the risk of an 

accident.  Using  a  mobile  while  driving  (even  with  a  handsfree  kit)  causes 

distraction and can lead to an accident. You must comply with laws and regulations 

restricting the use of wireless devices while driving. 

 

Switch off the cellular terminal or mobile before boarding an aircraft. Make sure it is 

switched off. The operation of wireless appliances in an aircraft is forbidden, so as 

to prevent interference with communication systems. Consult the airline staff about 

the  use  of  wireless  devices  on  boarding  the  aircraft,  if  your  device  offers  an 

Airplane Mode which must be enabled prior to boarding an aircraft. 

 

Switch  off  your  wireless  device  when  in  hospitals,  clinics  or  other  health  care 

facilities.  These  requests  are  desinged  to  prevent  possible  interference  with 

sensitive medical equipment. 

 

Cellular  terminals  or  mobiles  operating  over  radio  frequency  signal  and  cellular 

network cannot be guaranteed to connect in all conditions, for example no mobile 

fee or with an invalid SIM card. While you are in this condition and need emergent 

help, please remember using emergency call. In order to make or receive  a call, 

the  cellular  terminal  or  mobile  must  be  switched  on  and  in  a  service  area  with 

adequate cellular signal strength. 

 

Your cellular terminal or mobile contains a transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, 

it receives and transmits radio frequency energy. RF interference can occur if it is 

used close to TV set, radio, computer or other electric equipment. 

 

In locations with  potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all posted signs to  turn 

off  wireless  devices  such  as  your  phone  or  other  cellular  terminals.  Areas  with 

potentially  explosive  atmospheres  include  fuelling  areas,  below  decks  on  boats, 

fuel  or  chemical  transfer  or  storage  facilities,  areas  where  the  air  contains 

chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal powders, etc.
