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.
