Important 
Notice

Due to the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of data 
can never be guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors) or be 
totally lost. Although significant delays or losses of data are rare when wireless 
devices such as the Sierra Wireless modem are used in a normal manner with a 
well-constructed network, the Sierra Wireless modem should not be used in 
situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any 
kind to the user or any other party, including but not limited to personal injury, 
death, or loss of property. Sierra Wireless accepts no responsibility for damages 
of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or received using 
the Sierra Wireless modem, or for failure of the Sierra Wireless modem to 
transmit or receive such data.

Safety and 
Hazards

Do not operate the Sierra Wireless modem in areas where blasting is in progress, 
where explosive atmospheres may be present, near medical equipment, near life 
support equipment, or any equipment which may be susceptible to any form of 
radio interference. In such areas, the Sierra Wireless modem 

MUST BE IN 

AIRPLANE MODE OR POWERED OFF

. The Sierra Wireless modem can 

transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment.

Do not operate the Sierra Wireless modem in any aircraft, whether the aircraft is 
on the ground or in flight. In aircraft, the Sierra Wireless modem 

MUST BE IN 

AIRPLANE MODE OR POWERED OFF

. When operating, the Sierra Wireless 

modem can transmit signals that could interfere with various onboard systems.

Note: Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while the aircraft is on the 
ground and the door is open. Sierra Wireless modems may be used at this time.

The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the Sierra Wireless 
modem while in control of a vehicle. Doing so will detract from the driver or 
operator's control and operation of that vehicle. In some states and provinces, 
operating such communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offence.

Limitation of 
Liability

The information in this manual is subject to change without notice and does not 
represent a commitment on the part of Sierra Wireless. SIERRA WIRELESS AND 
ITS AFFILIATES SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL 
DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, GENERAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, 
PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, 
LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS OR REVENUE 
ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE ANY SIERRA WIRELESS 
PRODUCT, EVEN IF SIERRA WIRELESS AND/OR ITS AFFILIATES HAS BEEN 
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR THEY ARE 
FORESEEABLE OR FOR CLAIMS BY ANY THIRD PARTY.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Sierra Wireless and/or its 
affiliates aggregate liability arising under or in connection with the Sierra Wireless 
product, regardless of the number of events, occurrences, or claims giving rise to 
liability, be in excess of the price paid by the purchaser for the Sierra Wireless 
product.
