Hardware Integration Guide 

 

Important Notice 

Due to the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of data can never be 
guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors) or be totally lost. Although significant 
delays or losses of data are rare when wireless devices such as the Sierra Wireless modem are used 
in a normal manner with a well-constructed network, the Sierra Wireless modem should not be used 
in situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any kind to the user or 
any other party, including but not limited to personal injury, death, or loss of property. Sierra Wireless 
accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or 
received using the Sierra Wireless modem, or for failure of the Sierra Wireless modem to transmit or 
receive such data. 

Safety and Hazards 

Do not operate the Sierra Wireless modem in areas where cellular modems are not advised without 
proper device certifications. These areas include environments where cellular radio can interfere such 
as explosive atmospheres, medical equipment, or any other equipment which may be susceptible to 
any form of radio interference. The Sierra Wireless modem can transmit signals that could interfere 
with this equipment. Do not operate the Sierra Wireless modem in any aircraft, whether the aircraft is 
on the ground or in flight. In aircraft, the Sierra Wireless modem 

MUST BE POWERED OFF

. When 

operating, the Sierra Wireless modem can transmit signals that could interfere with various onboard 
systems. 

Note:  

Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while the aircraft is on the ground and the door 
is open. Sierra Wireless modems may be used at this time. 

The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the Sierra Wireless modem while in control of 
a vehicle. Doing so will detract from the driver or operator’s control and operation of that vehicle. In 
some states and provinces, operating such communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an 
offence. 

Limitations of Liability 

This manual is provided “as is”.  Sierra Wireless makes no warranties of any kind, either expressed or 
implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or 
noninfringement.  The recipient of the manual shall endorse all risks arising from its use.   

The information in this manual is subject to change without notice and does not represent a 
commitment on the part of Sierra Wireless. SIERRA WIRELESS AND ITS AFFILIATES 
SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, 
GENERAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES INCLUDING, 
BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS OR 
REVENUE ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE ANY SIERRA WIRELESS 
PRODUCT, EVEN IF SIERRA WIRELESS AND/OR ITS AFFILIATES HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE 
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR THEY ARE FORESEEABLE OR FOR CLAIMS BY ANY 
THIRD PARTY. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Sierra Wireless and/or its affiliates aggregate liability 
arising under or in connection with the Sierra Wireless product, regardless of the number of events, 
occurrences, or claims giving rise to liability, be in excess of the price paid by the purchaser for the 
Sierra Wireless product. 

Customer understands that Sierra Wireless is not providing cellular or GPS (including A-GPS) 
services. These services are provided by a third party and should be purchased directly by the 
Customer.
