1 INTRODUCTION
This manual is focussed on the GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS data solutions of the enhanced performance SAMBA3G-E USB modem from FALCOM Wireless Communications GmbH.
1.1 General
The SAMBA3G-E portable USB modem is a 3.5G wireless data modem, compact, lightweight that features a single-band 2100MHz UMTS/HSDPA radio for data connectivity.
The SAMBA3G-E is fully backward compatible to existing EDGE and GSM/GPRS networks and maintains the same form-factor of the well-known SAMBA55-56 modem. The major benefit over earlier SAMBA3G-E is that it supports HSDPA/UMTS (Universal Mobile
Telecommunications System). This modem is ideal for mobile users who want high speed Internet access on the road.
SAMBA3G-E allows subscribers to send and receive data, including digital images, web pages and photographs, with a transfer rate up to 7.2 Mbits. Additional features are also voice and SMS. It can be easily controlled by using AT commands for all kinds of operations. The SAMBA3G-E is designed for use on single-band WCDMA/HSDPA 2100 network and GSM/GPRS/EDGE 900MHz and 1800MHz networks. With its pocket-sized construction it is able to provide up to 7.2 Mbits Internet access by using
WCDMA/HSDPA 2100. It can also serve as the mobile user's desktop modem in the office. It constitutes a self contained, fully integrated implementation of the GSM/GPRS/
EDGE and HSDPA/UMTS functionalities. The SAMBA3G-E provides an integrated SIM card reader and an internal GSM antenna to simplify the setup and use. The physical interface to the modem application is made through an embedded USB connector which simplifies setup and operation of the modem. It allows direct connection to a USB host port. It gives you maximum life from your laptop's battery in that it draws power directly from the USB port and only uses the battery when plugged in. The LED on the modem shows the complete modem status.

2 SECURITY
IMPORTANT FOR THE EFFICIENT AND SAFE OPERATION OF YOUR GSM-MODEM, READ THIS
INFORMATION BEFORE USE!
Your cellular engine SAMBA3G-E is one of the most exciting and innovative electronic products ever developed. With it you can stay in contact with your office, your home, emergency services and others, wherever service is provided.
This chapter contains important information for the safe and reliable use of the
SAMBA3G-E modem. Please read this chapter carefully before starting to use the cellular engine SAMBA3G.
2.1 General information
Your SAMBA3G-E device utilizes the GSM standard for cellular technology. GSM is a newer radio frequency („RF“) technology than the current FM technology that has been used for radio communications for decades. The GSM standard has been established for use in the European community and elsewhere. Your SAMBA3G-E is actually a low power radio transmitter and receiver. It sends out and receives radio frequency energy. When you use your modem, the cellular system handling your calls controls both the radio frequency and the power level of your cellular modem.
2.2 Exposure to RF energy
There has been some public concern about possible health effects of using a GSM modem. Although research on health effects from RF energy has focused for many years on the current RF technology, scientists have begun research regarding 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 is fit for use.
If you are concerned about exposure to RF energy there are things you can do to minimize exposure. Obviously, limiting the duration of your calls will reduce your exposure to RF energy. In addition, you can reduce RF exposure by operating your cellular modem efficiently by following the guidelines below.
2.3 Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular devices in the area where you drive. Always obey them. Also, when using your modem while driving, please pay full attention to driving, pull off the road and park before making or answering a data call if driving conditions so require. When applications are prepared for mobile use they should fulfil road-safety instructions of the current law!
2.4 Electronic devices
Most electronic equipment, for example in hospitals and motor vehicles is shielded from
RF energy. However, RF energy may affect some malfunctioning or improperly shielded electronic equipment.

2.5 Vehicle electronic equipment
Check your vehicle manufacturer’s representative to determine if any on board electronic equipment is adequately shielded from RF energy.
2.6 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 SAMBA3G-E device 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.
2.7 Aircraft
Turn your SAMBA3G-E 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 plane is on the ground. To prevent interference with cellular systems, local RF regulations prohibit using your modem whilst airborne.
2.8 Children
Do not allow children to play with your SAMBA3G-E device. 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.
2.9 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 crew often uses remote control RF devices to set off explosives.
2.10 Potentially explosive atmospheres
Turn your SAMBA3G-E device OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your modems or their accessories could generate sparks.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include fuelling areas such as petrol stations; below decks 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.
