IMPORTANT FOR THE EFFICIENT AND SAFE OPERATION OF YOUR GSM-MODEM,
READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USE!
Your cellular engine BOLERO-LT 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
BOLERO-LT. Please read this chapter carefully before starting to use the cellular
engine BOLERO-LT.
2.1 General information
Your BOLERO-LT device utilizes the GSM/GPRS/GPS standard for cellular
technology. GSM/GPRS is a newer radio frequency
(„RF“)
technology than the
current FM technology that has been used for radio communications for
decades. The GSM standard has been established for use in the European
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.
For the use of the acquired devices SIM cards are needed, which are not
included in the scope of delivery of the device. The SIM cards can be
acquired e.g. by specific providers. From the use of the SIM cards can result
additional costs, which are to be borne by the purchaser (client) of the
devices. The seller does not cover the extra costs for the use of the devices.
The seller gives no recommendation for the use of specific SIM cards and does
not liable also for the fact that the devices are usable with all available SIM
cards. The seller also covers no other costs, that are needed for the application
of the customer in connection with this device.
2.2 Exposure to RF energy
There has been some public concern about possible health effects of using a
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.
If you are concerned about exposure to RF energy there are things you can do
to minimize exposure. Obviously, limiting the duration of your calls will reduce
your exposure to RF energy. In addition, you can reduce RF exposure by
operating your cellular modem efficiently by following the guidelines below.
