In order to operate your modem at the lowest power level, consistent with
satisfactory call quality please take note of the following hints.
satisfactory call quality please take note of the following hints.
•
If your device has an extendible antenna, extend it fully. Some models allow
you to place a call with the antenna retracted. However, your FOX operates
more efficiently with the antenna fully extended.
•
Do not hold the antenna (if externally connected) 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.
2.4 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 FOX while driving, please pay
full attention to driving, pull off the road and park before making or answering a
call if driving conditions so require. When applications are prepared for mobile use,
they should fulfil road-safety instructions of the current law!
