EM120 Regulatory Notice

Safety Warning

The EM120 may not be used in an environment where radio frequency equipment is prohibited or
restricted in its use. This includes aircraft/airports, hospitals, and other sensitive electronic areas.

Do not operate RF devices 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 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 modem 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 modem 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 modem in any area where medical equipment, or life support
equipment may be located, 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 modem 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 airplane. Please ensure that the
host device is turned off and your modem is removed from the card slot prior to
boarding aircraft in order to comply with these regulations. The modem can
transmit signals that could interfere with various onboard systems and controls.

• While operating a vehicle
The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate a wireless data device.
Doing so will detract from the driver or operator's control and operation of that
vehicle. In some countries, operating such communication devices while in
control of a vehicle is an offence.
