Safety Notice
Safety Notice
The following is important information for safe and efficient operation of
the iR1200 modem. We recommend that all users read this information
before using the modem.
Safe and Efficient Operation Guidelines
Your modem contains a transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and transmits
radio frequency (RF) energy. The modem operates in the frequency range of 806 MHz to
870 MHz and utilizes the digital modulation techniques. This product is authorized by
FCC Rule Part 47CFR2.1091 (b) which states that it should be used in such a way that it
maintains a distance of at least 8 inches (20 cms) between the radio’s antenna and the
human body. When you use your modem, the system handling your call, controls the
power level at which your modem transmits. The output power level typically may vary
over a range from 600 mW .
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
Your modem is designed to comply with the United States Federal Communications
Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR part 2 sub-part J. The modem is in
compliance with FCC’s national standards and guidelines regarding exposure of human
beings to radio frequency electromagnetic energy:
Medical and Personal Electronic Devices
Most electronic equipment are protected from RF energy. However, certain equipment
may not be shielded against the RF signals being emitted from your modem.
Pacemakers
Operators should not use the modem if individuals with pacemakers are within 6 inches
(0.15 meters) of the antenna.
Hearing Aids
The modem may cause interference with hearing aid devices. Individuals who experience
such interference should consult the hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternative
solutions.

iR1200 Modem
Other Medical Devices
Individuals who have other medical devices not specifically mentioned in this chapter
may want to consult their physician or the manufacturer of the device to determine if it is
adequately protected from external RF energy.
Interference to Other Electronic Devices
RF energy may affect improperly installed or inadequately protected electronic operating
and entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or
representative to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF
energy. It is recommended that you also check with the manufacturer of any equipment
that has been added to the vehicle.

Overview
Modem Operating Modes
The iR1200 provides the following data connection modes:
• Packet Data: A wireless modem connection used for accessing the Internet, sending
and receiving e-mail, and transferring small files over the packet data network using
standard IP protocols.
Data is sent in packets (blocks) of data at high speed, with the user being charged on
a per byte basis. After the transmission is completed, the user can remain connected
indefinitely without being charged for the idle time.
• Circuit data: A wireless modem connection for sending and receiving data (faxes,
files, etc.) over the circuit-switched cellular channel, providing a direct point to
point connection with the destination device. The user is charged for the connection
time in minutes regardless of the amount of data transmitted.
