Important Notice
Due to the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of data can never be
guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors) or be totally lost. Although significant
delays or losses of data are rare when wireless devices such as the Sierra Wireless modem are used in
a normal manner with a well-constructed network, the Sierra Wireless modem should not be used in
situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any kind to the user or
any other party, including but not limited to personal injury, death, or loss of property. Sierra
Wireless accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data
transmitted or received using the Sierra Wireless modem, or for failure of the Sierra Wireless modem
to transmit or receive such data.
