1 Safety Precautions

1.1 General Precautions

The router generates radio frequency (RF) power. When using the router, care must be taken to ensure safety as well as compliance with all the regulations that surround the use of RF equipment.
Do not use the router in aircraft, hospitals and petrol stations or in places where using GSM, W-CDMA and LTE equipment or any other RF equipment is prohibited, and make sure that the router is not interfering with nearby equipment such as pacemakers or medical equipment.
All antennas of the router should be directed away from computers, office equipment, home appliances, etc., and always keep the router at a minimally safe distance of 26.6cm or more from human bodies.
Do not put the antenna inside metallic boxes or other containers.

1.2 Using the Router in Vehicles

Check for regulations/law, if any, for authorizing the use of GSM, W-CDMA and LTE equipment in vehicles in your country before installing the router.
Installation of the router should be done by qualified personnel. Consult your vehicle dealer for any possible interference concerns to the use of the router.
Battery of the vehicle could be drained after an extended period when the router is powered by the vehicles main battery.

1.3 Protecting Your Router

Please install and operate the router with care, and complying the following;
Do not expose the router in extreme conditions such as high humidity/rain, high temperature, direct sunlight, caustic/harsh chemicals, dust, or water.
Do not try to disassemble or modify the router as there is no user serviceable parts inside and the warranty would be voided in the case of tampering.
Do not drop, hit, shake the router in extreme vibrations.
Do not pull the power supply cable. Please attach or detach it by holding the connector after switching off the supply.
Install and connect the router in accordance with this document.
Failure to do so will void the warranty.
