Introduction

The purpose of this guide is to show you how to set up your
MultiModem. For information on operating and configuring your
modem see the User Guide, which is available on the MultiModem
CD and the Multi-Tech Web site. Check Multi-Tech’s Web site for
current versions of our product documentation.

General Safety

The modem is designed for and intended to be used in fixed and
mobile applications. “Fixed” means that the device is physically
secured at one location and is not able to be easily moved to
another location. In a “Mobile” application, the device may be moved
regularly from one location to another.

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, nor intended to be,
used in applications within 20 cm (8 inches) of the body of the user.

RF Interference Issues

Avoid possible radio frequency (RF) interference by carefully
following the safety guidelines below.

• Switch OFF the MultiModem when in an aircraft. The use of

cellular telephones in aircraft is illegal. It may endanger the
operation of the aircraft and/or disrupt the cellular network.
Failure to observe this instruction may lead to suspension or
denial of cellular services to the offender, legal action, or both.

• Switch OFF the MultiModem in the vicinity of gasoline or diesel-

fuel pumps or before filling a vehicle with fuel.

• Switch OFF the MultiModem in hospitals and any other place

where medical equipment may be in use.

• Respect restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel

depots, chemical plants, or in areas of blasting operations.

• There may be a hazard associated with the operation of your

MultiModem in the vicinity of inadequately protected personal
medical devices such as hearing aids and pacemakers.
