Electronic Devices
Most electronic equipment, for example in hospitals and motor vehicles, is shielded from RF energy.
However, RF energy may affect some improperly shielded electronic equipment.

Vehicle Electronic Equipment
Check your vehicle manufacturer representative to determine if any on-board electronic equipment is
adequately shielded from RF energy.

Medical Electronic Equipment
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) to
determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Turn your modem OFF in health care
facilities when any regulations posted in the area instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities
may be using RF monitoring equipment.

Aircraft
Turn your modem OFF before boarding any aircraft.
·
Use it on the ground only with crew permission.
·
Do not use it in the air.
To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations
require you to have permission from a crew member to use your modem while the aircraft is on the
ground. To prevent interference with cellular systems, local RF regulations prohibit using your modem
while airborne.

Children
Do not allow children to play with your modem. It is not a toy. Children could hurt themselves or others (by
poking themselves or others in the eye with the antenna, for example). Children could damage the
modem or make calls that increase your modem bills.

Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your unit OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas
posted “turn off two-way radio”. Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to set off
explosives.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your modem OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your
modem or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injuries or even death. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not
always, clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gas stations; below deck on boats; fuel or
chemical transfer or storage facilities; and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as
grain, dust, or metal powders. Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives, in the
compartment of your vehicle, which contains your modem or accessories. Before using your modem in a
vehicle powered by liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) ensure that the vehicle complies
with the relevant fire and safety regulations of the country in which the vehicle is to be used.
