IMPORTANT FOR THE EFFICIENT AND SAFE OPERATION OF
YOUR GSM-MODEM, READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USE!
Your cellular engine FALCOM C2D-SI 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 FALCOM C2D-SI. Please read this chapter carefully before starting to
use the cellular engine FALCOM C2D-SI.
1.1 General information
Your FALCOM C2D-SI modem utilises the GSM/GPRS 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 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.
1.2 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.
If you are concerned about exposure to RF energy there are things you can
do to minimise 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.
1.3 Efficient modem operation
In order to operate your modem at the lowest power level, consistent with
satisfactory call quality please take note of the following hints.
ƒ If your modem has an extendible antenna, extend it fully. Some models
allow you to place a call with the antenna retracted. However your
modem operates more efficiently with the antenna fully extended.
ƒ Do not hold the antenna when the modem is „IN USE“. Holding the
antenna affects call quality and may cause the modem to operate at a
higher power level than needed.
