IMPORTANT FOR THE EFFICIENT AND SAFE OPERATION OF YOUR GSM-
MODEM, READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USE!
Your cellular engine BOLERO40 is one of the most exciting and innovative electronic
products ever developed. With them, 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 BOLERO40
device. Please read this chapter carefully before starting to use the cellular engine
BOLERO40.
2.1
General information
Your BOLERO40 device utilizes the GSM/GNNS 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 BOLERO40 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 of 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.
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 BOLERO40 while driving, please pay full attention
to driving, pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions
