EFFICIENT MODEM OPERATION
For your modem to operate at the lowest power level, consistent with
satisfactory call quality :
If your modem has an extendible antenna, extend it fully. Some models
allow you to place a call with the antenna retracted. However your modem
operates more efficiently with the antenna fully extended.
Do not hold the antenna when the modem is « IN USE ». Holding the
antenna affects call quality and may cause the modem to operate at a higher
power level than needed.
ANTENNA CARE AND REPLACEMENT
Do not use the modem with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna
comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Replace a
damaged antenna immediately. Consult your manual to see if you may
change the antenna yourself. If so, use only a manufacturer-approved
antenna. Otherwise, have your antenna repaired by a qualified technician.
Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications or attachments could damage the modem and may contravene
local RF emission regulations or invalidate type approval.
