Safety

RF Safety

Due to the possibility of radio frequency (RF) interference, it is important that you follow any special regulations regarding the use of radio equipment. Follow the safety advice given below.

CAUTION: Maintain a separation distance of at least 20 cm (8 inches) between the transmitter’s antenna and

the body of the user or nearby persons. The modem is not designed for or intended to be used in portable applications within 20 cm of the user’s body.

Check your local standards regarding safe distances, etc.

● Operating your device close to other electronic equipment may cause interference if the equipment is

inadequately protected. Observe any warning signs and manufacturers’ recommendations.

● Different industries and businesses restrict the use of cellular devices. Respect restrictions on the use

of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants, or where blasting operations are in process. Follow restrictions for any environment where you operate the device.

● Do not place the antenna outdoors.

● Switch OFF your wireless device when in an aircraft. Using portable electronic devices in an aircraft

may endanger aircraft operation, disrupt the cellular network, and is illegal. Failing to observe this restriction may lead to suspension or denial of cellular services to the offender, legal action, or both.

● Switch OFF your wireless device when around gasoline or diesel-fuel pumps and before filling your

vehicle with fuel.

● Switch OFF your wireless device in hospitals and any other place where medical equipment may be in

use.

Sécurité RF

En raison de la possibilité d'interférences de radiofréquence (RF), il est important que vous suiviez une quelconque réglementation concernant l'utilisation du matériel radio. Suivez les conseils de sécurité ci-dessous.

ATTENTION: Maintenir une distance d'au moins 20 cm (8 po) entre l'antenne du récepteur et le corps de

l'utilisateur ou à proximité de personnes. Le modem n'est pas conçu pour, ou destinés à être utilisés dans les applications portables, moins de 20 cm du corps de l'utilisateur.

Vérifiez vos normes locales touchant les distances de sécurité, etc..

● Fonctionnement de votre appareil à proximité d'autres appareils électroniques peuvent causer des

interférences si l'équipement est insuffisamment protégé. Respectez les panneaux d'avertissement et les recommandations du fabricant.

● Différentes industries et les entreprises limitent l'utilisation des appareils cellulaires. Respectez les règlements

sur l'utilisation des équipements radio dans les dépôts de carburant, les usines chimiques, ou lorsque des opérations de dynamitage sont en cours. Suivez restrictions pour n'importe quel environnement où vous utilisez l'appareil.

● Ne pas placer l'antenne à l'extérieur.

MultiConnect AW User Guide 7

Chapter 1 – Product Description and Specifications

● Éteignez votre appareil sans fil dans un avion. Utilisant des dispositifs électroniques portables dans un avion

peut mettre en danger le fonctionnement de l'avion, peut perturber le réseau cellulaire, et est illégal. Le nonrespect de cette restriction peut entraîner la suspension ou le refus des services cellulaires au contrevenant, une action en justice, ou les deux.

● Éteignez votre appareil sans fil lorsque autour de l'essence ou pompes diesel-carburant et avant de remplir

votre véhicule avec du carburant.

● Éteignez votre appareil sans fil dans les hôpitaux et tout autre endroit où l'équipement médical peut être

utilisé.

Interference with Pacemakers and Other Medical Devices

Potential interference

Radio frequency energy (RF) from cellular devices can interact with some electronic devices. This is electromagnetic interference (EMI). The FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure EMI of implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from cellular devices. This test method is part of the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) standard. This standard allows manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from cellular device EMI.

The FDA continues to monitor cellular devices for interactions with other medical devices. If harmful interference occurs, the FDA will assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.

Precautions for pacemaker wearers

If EMI occurs, it could affect a pacemaker in one of three ways:

● Stop the pacemaker from delivering the stimulating pulses that regulate the heart's rhythm.

● Cause the pacemaker to deliver the pulses irregularly.

● Cause the pacemaker to ignore the heart's own rhythm and deliver pulses at a fixed rate.

Based on current research, cellular devices do not pose a significant health problem for most pacemaker wearers. However, people with pacemakers may want to take simple precautions to be sure that their device doesn't cause a problem.

● Keep the device on the opposite the side of the body from the pacemaker to add extra distance between the

pacemaker and the device.

● Avoid placing a turned-on device next to the pacemaker (for example, don’t carry the device in a shirt or

jacket pocket directly over the pacemaker).

Handling Precautions

All devices must be handled with certain precautions to avoid damage due to the accumulation of static charge. Although input protection circuitry has been incorporated into the devices to minimize the effect of this static build up, proper precautions should be taken to avoid exposure to electrostatic discharge during handling and mounting.

Front Panel

The front panel displays three Signal Strength LEDs, a Carrier Detect LED, a Link Status LED, and a Power LED. Signal Strength LEDs display the internal wireless device signal level when they are on; when they flash, a failure has occurred. Refer to Chapter 7 for a description of the flashing Signal Strength LEDs.

● The Carrier Detect LED works for both analog and wireless. When solidly ON, both connections are

established.

● The Link Status LED lights when the unit is registering with the network and blinks when the unit is registered

with the network.

● The Power LED lights when power is supplied to the unit.

● The SIM door on the right side provides access to the SIM card holder.

Cellular Information

Antenna System for Cellular Devices

The cellular/wireless performance is completely dependent on the implementation and antenna design. The integration of the antenna system into the product is a critical part of the design process; therefore, it is essential to consider it early so the performance is not compromised. If changes are made to the certified antenna system of the MultiModem, then recertification will be required by specific network carriers such as Sprint. The Antenna System is defined as the UFL connection point from the MultiModem to the specified cable specifications and specified antenna specifications.
