2. This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesirable operations.
Audiovox Communications Corp. stipulates that the antenna should be more
than 1.5 cm (0.60”) from by-standers and 1.0cm (0.39”) from the user. When
in use, the antenna should be fully extended upward at a 90-degree angle.
FCC ID: QDJ-200205EDS01
CAUTION:
Unauthorized modification or change not expressly
approved could void compliance with RF exposure guidelines.
WARNING:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits pursuant to Part 15, 22, and 24 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in an appropriate installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction, may cause harmful interference to radio
communication. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
WARNING:
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for
radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the

If you have purchased this product under a United States Government
contract, it shall be subject to restrictions as forth in subparagraph (C)(1)(ii) of
Defense Federal Acquisitions Regulations (DFARs) Section 252.227-7013 for
Department of Defense contracts, and as set forth in Federal Acquisitions

successor regulations. If further government regulations apply, it is your
responsibility to ensure compliance with such regulations.
Safety Information
This section outlines important liability and safety guidelines concerning your
new CF Card.
Important Notice
Because of the nature of wireless communications, transmission and
reception of data can never be guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted
(i.e., have errors) or totally be lost. Although significant delays or losses of
data are rare when wireless devices such as the CF Card-Model RTM8000D
GSM/GPRS modem are used in a normal manner with a well constructed
network, they should not be used in situations where failure to transmit or
receive data could result in damage of any kind to the user or another party,
including but not limited to personal injury, death or loss of personal property.
No responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in
data transmitted or received using the CF Card-Model RTM8000D
GSM/GPRS modem, or for failure of the CF Card-Model RTM8000D to
transmit or receive such data.
Safety and Hazards
Blasting Areas and Hospitals
Do not operate the CF Card-Model RTM8000D in areas where
blasting is in progress, where explosive atmospheres may be present,
3
Page 5
near medical equipment, life support equipment, or any equipment
which may be susceptible to any form of radio interference. In such
areas the CF Card-Model RTM8000D MUST BE POWERED OFF. It
can transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment.
Aircraft
Do not operate the CF Card-Model RTM8000D in any aircraft whether
the aircraft is on the ground or in flight. In aircraft, the CF Card-Model
RTM8000D MUST BE POWERED OFF. When operating it can
transmit signals that could interfere with various onboard systems.
Driving
The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the CF
Card-Model RTM8000D while in control of a vehicle. Doing so will
detract from the driver or operator’s control and operation of that
vehicle. In some jurisdictions, operating such communications
devices while in control of a vehicle is an offense.
