Regulations

Important Notice

Due to the transmission and reception properties of cellular communications, data can occasionally be lost or delayed. This can be due to the variation in radio signal strength that results from changes in the characteristics of the radio transmission path.

Although data loss is rare, the environment where you operate the C170 Series may adversely affect communications. Variations in radio signal strength are referred to as fading. Fading is caused by several different factors including signal reﬂection, the ionosphere, and interference from other radio channels.

BandRich Inc. or its partners will not be held responsible for damages of any kind resulting from the delays or errors in data transmitted or received by the BandLuxe C170 Series, or failure of the BandLuxe C170 Series to transmit or receive such data.

BandLuxe™ is a registered trademark of BandRich Inc.

Potential Hazards

Do not operate the BandLuxe C170 Series in an environment that may be susceptible to radio interference resulting in danger; speciﬁcally:

Areas where prohibited by the law.

- Follow any special rules and regulations and obey all signs and notices. Always turn off the host device and remove the C170 Series from the card slot when instructed to do so, or when you suspect that it may cause interference or danger.

Where explosive atmospheres may be present.

- Do not operate your C170 Series in any area where a potentially explosive atmosphere may exist. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or ﬁre resulting in bodily injury or even death. Be aware and comply with all signs and instructions.

- Users are advised not to operate the C170 Series while at a refueling point or service station. Users are reminded to observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress.

- Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly marked. Potential locations can include gas stations, below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using liqueﬁed petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders, and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

Near Medical and life support equipment.

- Do not operate your C170 Series in any area where medical equipment, life support equipment, or near any equipment that may be susceptible to any form of radio interference. In such areas, the host communications device must be turned off. The C170 Series may transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment.

On an aircraft, either on the ground or airborne.

- In addition to FAA requirements, many airline regulations state that you must suspend wireless operations before boarding an airp lane . Please ensure that the host device is turned off and your C170 Series is removed from the card slot prior to boarding aircraft in order to comply with these regulations. The C170 Series can transmit signals that could interfere with various onboard systems and controls.

While operating a vehicle.

- The driver or mob ile network operator of any vehicle sh ould not operate a wireless data device while in control of a vehicle. Doing so will detract from the driver or mobile network operator’s control and operation of that vehicle. In some countries, operating such communications de vices while in control of a vehicle is an offe nse.

CE Marking

This device has been tested to and conforms to the regulatory requirements of the European Union and has attained CE Marking. The CE Mark is a conf ormity marking consisting of the letters “CE”. The CE Mark applies to products re gulat ed by certain European health, safety and environmental protection legislation. The CE Mark is obligatory for products it applies to: the manufacturer afﬁxes the marking in order to be allowed to sell his product in the European market.

This product conforms to the essential requirements of the R&TTE directive 1999/5/EC in order to attain CE Marking. A notiﬁed body has determined that this device has properly demonstrated that the requirements of the directive have been met and has issued a favorable certiﬁcate of expert opinion. As such the device will bear the notiﬁed body number 0678 after the CE mark.

The CE Marking is not a quality mark. Foremost, it refers to the safety rather than to the quality of a product. Secondly, CE Marking is mandatory for the product it applies to, whereas most quality markings are voluntary.

Marking: The product shall bear the CE mark, the notiﬁed body number(s) as depicted to the right. CE 0678.

15.21 Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Statement

You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the part responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

15.105(b) Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply w it h th e limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable prote ction against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. 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 determine d 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 equi pm en t int o an o u tl et on a c ircuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1) this device may not cause interference and

2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that

may cause undesired operation of the device.
