1.2 Safety Warnings and Notices

To the owner

• Some electronic devices are susceptible to electromagnetic interference. The modem is a transmitting device and may cause interference to sensitive electronic equipment such as audio systems, vehicle systems and medical equipment. Please consult the manufacturer of the other device before using the modem.

• Operating of computers with the modem may interfere with medical devices like hearing aids and pacemakers. Please keep the modem more than 20 centimetres away from such medical devices.

Turn the modem off if necessary. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device before using the modem near such devices.

• Be aware of the regulations when using the modem at places such as oil warehouses or chemical factories, where there are explosive gases or explosive products being processed. Turn off your modem as instructed.

• Don’t touch the antenna area unnecessarily whilst connected. This can affect your modem performance and reduce the signal quality.

• Store the modem out of the reach of children. The modem may cause injury or get damaged.

• The modem contains sensitive electronic circuitry. Do not expose the modem to any liquids, high temperatures or shock.

• Only use original accessories or accessories that are authorized by the manufacturer. Using unauthorized accessories may affect your modem’s performance, damage your modem and violate related national regulations.

• Avoid using the modem in areas that emit electromagnetic waves, or in enclosed metallic structures eg lifts.

• The modem is not waterproof. Please keep it dry and store it in a cool, dry place.

• Don’t use the modem immediately after a sudden temperature change eg from an air conditioned environment to high temperature and humidity outside. In such cases there could be condensing moisture inside the modem which can cause internal damage. Unplug the modem and leave it for 30 minutes before use.

• Always handle the modem with care. Be careful not to drop or bend the modem.

• There are no user serviceable parts inside the modem. Unauthorised dismantling or repair of the modem will void the warranty.

• The USB Wireless modem is a transmitting device with similar output power to a mobile phone. It uses an internal antenna to connect to the mobile network. To get the best performance from your device do not cover or shield the device in any way as this will lead to increased output power.
