IMPORTANT FOR THE EFFICIENT AND SAFE OPERATION OF
YOUR GSM–MODEM, READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE
USE!
Your embedded GSM/GPS–modem is one of the most exciting and
innovative electronic products ever developed. With it you can stay
in contact with your office, your home, emergency services, and
others, wherever service is provided.
This chapter contains important information for the safe and reliable
use of the GPS receiver. Please read this chapter carefully before
starting to use the GPS receiver.
2.1 General information
Your modem utilises the GSM standard for cellular technology. GSM
is a newer radio frequency („RF“) technology than the current FM
technology that has been used for radio communications for deca-
des. The GSM standard has been established for use in the Euro-
pean community and elsewhere.
Your modem is actually a low power radio transmitter and receiver.
It sends out and receives radio frequency energy. When you use
your modem, the cellular system handling your calls controls both
the radio frequency and the power level of your cellular modem.
The Global Positioning System uses satellite navigation, an entirely
new concept in navigation. GPS has become established in many
areas, for example, in civil aviation or deep-sea shipping. It is ma-
king deep inroads in vehicle manufacturing, and long before every-
one of us will use it in one way or another.
The GPS system is operated by the government of the United States
of America, which also has sole responsibility for the accuracy and
maintenance of the system. The system is constantly being im-
proved and may entail modifications effecting the accuracy and per-
formance of the GPS equipment.
2.2 Exposure to RF energy
There has been some public concern about possible health effects
of using GSM modem. Although research on health effects from RF
energy has focused for many years on the current RF technology,
scientists have begun research regarding newer radio technologies,
such as GSM. After existing research had been reviewed, and after
compliance to all applicable safety standards had been tested, it has
been concluded that the product is fit for use.
