2.1 General information
Your FOX device utilizes the GSM 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 FOX 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.
For the use of the acquired devices SIM cards are needed, which are not included

For the use of the acquired devices SIM cards are needed, which are not included
in the scope of delivery of the device. The SIM cards can be acquired e.g. by
specific providers. From the use of the SIM cards can result additional costs, 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 does not liable also for the fact that the devices
are usable with all available SIM cards. The seller also covers no 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 a GSM
modem. 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.
