IMPORTANT FOR THE EFFICIENT AND SAFE OPERATION OF YOUR GSM-MODEM, READ THIS
INFORMATION BEFORE USE!
Your cellular engine SAMBA3G-G 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 SAMBA3G-G
modem. Please read this chapter carefully before starting to use the cellular engine SAMBA3G.
2.1 General information
Your SAMBA3G-G device utilizes 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 decades. The GSM standard has been established for use in the European
community and elsewhere. Your SAMBA3G-G 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.
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.
2.3 Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular devices in the area where you drive. Always
obey them. Also, when using your modem while driving, please pay full attention to driving, pull
off the road and park before making or answering a data call if driving conditions so require. When
applications are prepared for mobile use they should fulfil road-safety instructions of the current
law!
2.4 Electronic devices
Most electronic equipment, for example in hospitals and motor vehicles is shielded from RF
energy. However, RF energy may affect some malfunctioning or improperly shielded electronic
equipment.
