Safety Precautions for GSM Option
For the efficient and safe operation of your AM3 with GSM option, please read the
following information carefully.
following information carefully.
Safety and Hazards
Do not operate the AM3 with enabled GSM option in areas where blasting is
in progress, where explosive atmospheres may be present, near life support
equipment, or any equipment which may be susceptible to any form of radio
interference. In such areas, the GSM modem MUST BE POWERED OFF. The AM3
with enabled GSM option can transmit signals that could interfere with this
equipment. Do not operate the GSM any aircraft, whether the aircraft is on the
ground or in flight. In aircraft, the GSM option MUST BE SWITCHED OFF. When
operating, the GSM 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. The GSM option may be used at this time.

RF Safety
GENERAL
The AM3 uses a GSM module based on the GSM standard for cellular technology.
The GSM standard is spread all over the world. It covers Europe, Asia and some
parts of America and Africa. This is the most used telecommunication standard.
Your GSM module is actually a low power radio transmitter and receiver. It sends
out and receives radio frequency energy. When you use your GSM application, the
cellular system which handles your transfers controls both the radio frequency and
the power level of your cellular modem.

EXPOSURE TO RF ENERGY
There has been some public concern about possible health effects from using GSM
terminals. Although research on health effects from RF energy has focused on
the current RF technology for many years, scientists have begun research regard-
ing 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 was fit for use. If you are concerned about
exposure to RF energy there are things you can do to minimize exposure. Obvi-
ously, limiting the duration of your calls will reduce your exposure to RF energy. In
addition, you can reduce RF exposure by operating your cellular terminal efficiently
by following the guidelines below.

EFFICIENT TERMINAL OPERATION
For your GSM terminal to operate at the lowest power level, consistent with satis-
factory transfer quality:
Do not hold the device when the transfer is in progress. Holding the antenna
affects transfer quality and may cause the GSM modem to operate at a higher
power level than needed.
