Safety Hazards
Do not operate MiFi in an environment that may be susceptible to radio interference resulting in
danger specifically;
Areas where prohibited by the law
•
Follow any special rules and regulations and obey all signs and notices . Always turn off MiFi
(or the host device and remove the modem from the USB port) when instructed to do so, or
when you suspect that it may cause interference or danger .
Where explosive atmospheres may be present
•
Do not operate your modem in any area where a potentially explosive atmosphere may exist .
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death .
Be aware and comply with all signs and instructions .
•
Users are advised not to operate the modem while at a refueling point or service station .
Users are reminded to observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel
storage and distribution areas), chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress .
•
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly marked .
Potential locations can include gas stations, below deck on boats, chemical transfer or
storage facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders, and any
other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine .
Near Medical and life support equipment
•
Do not operate your device in any area where medical equipment, life support equipment, or
near any equipment that may be susceptible to any form of radio interference . In such areas,
the host communications device must be turned off . The device may transmit signals that
could interfere with this equipment .
On an aircraft, either on the ground or airborne
•
In addition to FAA requirements, many airline regulations state that you must suspend
wireless operations before boarding an airplane . Please ensure that MiFi (or the host device
is turned off) and (if in USB Mode, your modem is removed from the USB port) prior to
boarding aircraft in order to comply with these regulations . The modem can transmit signals
that could interfere with various onboard systems and controls .
While operating a vehicle
•
The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate a wireless data device while in
control of a vehicle . Doing so will detract from the driver or operator’s control and operation
of that vehicle . In some countries, operating such communications devices while in control of
a vehicle is an offense .
