Your cellular engine
DISCO-B4
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
DISCO-B4
device. Please read this chapter carefully before starting to use the
cellular engine
DISCO-B4
.
2.1 General information
Your
DISCO-B4
device utilizes the GSM/GPS 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
DISCO-B4
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.
SIM cards are needed for the use of the acquired devices, which are not included
in the scope of delivery of the device. The SIM cards can be acquired e.g. by
specific providers. Additional costs can result from the use of the SIM cards 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 is not liable for the fact that the devices are
usable with all available SIM cards. The seller is also not liable for any 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 when using
GSM modems. 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.
