QUICK START GUIDE

WARNINGS AND
SAFETY NOTICES

Please read all the safety notices before using this
device. The BigPond Ultimate® Mobile Broadband
Wi-Fi is designed to be used at least 20 cm from
your body.

Do not use the BigPond Ultimate® Mobile Wi-Fi
near fuel or chemicals or in any prescribed area
such as service stations, refineries, hospitals and
aircraft. Obey all warning signs where posted.

RF safety information

The BigPond Ultimate® Mobile Wi-Fi has an internal
antenna. For optimum performance with minimum
power consumption do not shield the device or cover
with any object. Covering the antenna affects signal
quality, may cause the BigPond Ultimate® Mobile
Wi-Fi to operate at a higher power level than needed,
and may shorten battery life.

Radio frequency energy

Your BigPond Ultimate® Mobile Wi-Fi is a low-power
radio transmitter and receiver. When switched on it
intermittently transmits radio frequency (RF)
energy (radio waves). The transmit power level is
optimised for best performance and automatically

reduces when there is good quality reception.
Maximum power is only used at the edge of network
coverage so under most circumstances the power
output is very low. Under poor network conditions
the BigPond Ultimate® Mobile Wi-Fi transmits at a
higher power, may get hot and have a signifi cantly
shorter battery life.
