Safety  Information 

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

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

should  notify  users  and  operating  personnel  of  the  following  safety  information  by  incorporating  these 

guidelines into all manuals of the product. Otherwise, Quectel assumes no liability 

for customers’ failure 

to comply with these precautions. 

 

 

Full attention must be paid 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. Please comply with laws and regulations restricting the 
use of wireless devices while driving.

 

 

Switch off the cellular terminal or mobile before boarding an aircraft. The operation 
of  wireless  appliances  in  an  aircraft  is  forbidden  to  prevent  interference  with 
communication systems. If there is an Airplane Mode, it should be enabled prior to 
boarding an aircraft. Please consult the airline staff for more restrictions on the use 
of wireless devices on an aircraft. 

 

 

Wireless  devices  may  cause  interference  on  sensitive  medical  equipment,  so 
please be aware of the restrictions on the use of wireless devices when in hospitals, 
clinics or other healthcare facilities.   

 

Cellular terminals or mobiles operating over radio signal and cellular network cannot 
be  guaranteed  to  connect  in  certain  conditions,  such  as  when  the  mobile  bill  is 
unpaid  or  the  (U)SIM  card  is  invalid.  When  emergency  help  is  needed  in  such 
conditions, use emergency call if the device supports it. In order to make or receive 
a call, the cellular terminal or mobile must be switched on in a service area with 
adequate cellular signal strength. In an emergency, the device with emergency call 
function cannot be used as the only contact method considering network connection 
cannot be guaranteed under all circumstances.

 

 

The cellular terminal or mobile contains a transceiver. When it is ON, it receives and 
transmits radio frequency signals. RF interference can occur if it is used close to TV 
sets, radios, computers or other electric equipment. 

 

In locations with explosive or potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all posted 
signs and turn off wireless devices such as mobile phone or other cellular terminals. 
Areas with explosive or potentially explosive atmospheres include fuelling areas, 
below  decks  on  boats,  fuel  or  chemical  transfer  or  storage  facilities,  and  areas 
where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal powders.
