Precautions and Safety Information
„ 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 laptop or desktop PCs 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 refineries 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.
35
„ 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 will void the warranty.

Radiation from Electronic Devices
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. Always leave a clear
space around the device to allow the transmit and receive
signals to propagate. SAR tests have been completed and comply
with the Australia and New Zealand regulatory requirements.
