Important Notice

Safety and Hazards

Due to the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of data can never be guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors) or be totally lost. Although significant delays or losses of data are rare when wireless devices such as the Sierra Wireless modem are used in a normal manner with a well-constructed network, the Sierra Wireless modem should not be used in situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any kind to the user or any other party, including but not limited to personal injury, death, or loss of property. Sierra Wireless accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or received using the Sierra Wireless modem, or for failure of the Sierra Wireless modem to transmit or receive such data.

Do not operate the Sierra Wireless modem in areas where blasting is in progress, where explosive atmospheres may be present, near medical equipment, near life support equipment, or any equipment which may be susceptible to any form of radio interference. In such areas, the Sierra Wireless modem MUST BE POWERED OFF. The Sierra Wireless modem can transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment.

Do not operate the Sierra Wireless modem in any aircraft, whether the aircraft is on the ground or in flight. In aircraft, the Sierra Wireless modem MUST BE POWERED OFF. When operating, the Sierra Wireless modem can transmit signals that could interfere with various onboard systems.

Limitation of Liability

Note: Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while the aircraft is on the ground and the door is open. Sierra Wireless modems may be used at this time.

The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the Sierra Wireless modem while in control of a vehicle. Doing so will detract from the driver or operator's control and operation of that vehicle. In some states and provinces, operating such communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offence.

The information in this manual is subject to change without notice and does not represent a commitment on the part of Sierra Wireless. SIERRA WIRELESS AND ITS AFFILIATES SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, GENERAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS OR REVENUE ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE ANY SIERRA WIRELESS PRODUCT, EVEN IF SIERRA WIRELESS AND/OR ITS AFFILIATES HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR THEY ARE FORESEEABLE OR FOR CLAIMS BY ANY THIRD PARTY.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Sierra Wireless and/or its affiliates aggregate liability arising under or in connection with the Sierra Wireless product, regardless of the number of events, occurrences, or claims giving rise to liability, be in excess of the price paid by the purchaser for the Sierra Wireless product.

Battery Settings

The mobile hotspot, by default, is configured to optimize battery life. Battery life is affected by:

• Standby time

• Data throughput

• GPS option (GPS tracking uses more power than getting a single GPS

location fix.)

• Mobile Broadband signal strength (the better the signal, the longer the battery life)

• Wi-Fi range:

· Short Wi-Fi range — Slightly improved battery life

· Medium Wi-Fi range — Intermediate Wi-Fi range

· Long Wi-Fi range — Enables you to have your laptop (or other Wi-Fi device)

further from your mobile hotspot and still connect to your Wi-Fi network, but the battery life is slightly shorter.

Extend Battery Life

There are several methods you can use to extend the battery life.

If the computer and other devices you are connecting to your Wi-Fi network are always close to the mobile hotspot device, you can increase the battery life by shortening the Wi-Fi range.

1. On the homepage, log in as Administrator.

2. Click the battery icon ( ).

Use Your Mobile Hotspot

3. In the drop-down list beside Standby Timer on Battery, select the desired time. (The shorter the time, the longer the battery life.)

4. Select the desired Wi-Fi range:

· Short Wi-Fi Range — Slightly improved battery life (default)

· Medium Wi-Fi Range — Intermediate Wi-Fi range

· Long Wi-Fi Range — Enables you to have your laptop (or other Wi-Fi

device) further from your mobile hotspot and still connect to your Wi-Fi network, but battery life is slightly shorter.

5. Click Save.

You can also extend the battery life by adjusting the Power LED and LCD backlight settings.

1. On the homepage, log in as Administrator.

2. Click the Advanced Settings icon ( ).

3. Select the Device tab and then select Display.

7: Regulatory and Safety Information

Notice

Because of the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of data can never be guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted (that is, have errors), or be totally lost. Although significant delays or losses of data are rare when wireless devices such as the AirCard 763S Mobile Hotspot are used in a normal manner with a well-constructed network, the AirCard 763S Mobile Hotspot should not be used in situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any kind to the user or any other party, including but not limited to personal injury, death, or loss of property. Sierra Wireless and its affiliates accept no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or received using the AirCard 763S Mobile Hotspot, or for failure of the AirCard 763S Mobile Hotspot to transmit or receive such data.

Safety and Hazards

The mobile hotspot MUST BE POWERED OFF in all areas that may be susceptible to radio interference, in particular:

• Prohibited areas

Obey all signs and notices and follow all rules and regulations. Power off the mobile hotspot when instructed to do so or when you suspect that it may cause interference or danger.

• In areas where blasting is in progress

• Where explosive atmospheres may be present

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are not always clearly marked. Such areas include gas stations, fuel depots, chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where blasting is in progress, 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 cellular phone or vehicle engine.

• Near medical or life-support equipment

Medical equipment may be susceptible to any form of radio interference. In such areas the mobile hotspot can transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment.

• On board aircraft

In addition to Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) requirements, many airline regulations state that you must suspend wireless operations before boarding an aircraft. The mobile hotspot is capable of transmitting signals that could interfere with various onboard systems and controls.

AirCard 763S Mobile Hotspot User Guide

Failure to observe this instruction may lead to suspension or denial of cellular telephone services to the offender, legal action, or both.

Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while the aircraft is on the ground and the door is open. The mobile hotspot may be used normally at this time.

• While operating a vehicle

The driver or operator of any vehicle should not use a wireless data device while in control of a vehicle. Doing so detracts from the driver or operator's ability to control and operate the vehicle. In some countries, using such communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offence.

Caution: Unauthorized modifications or changes not expressly approved by Sierra

Wireless, Inc. could void compliance with regulatory rules, and thereby your authority to use this device.

Proper Battery Use and Disposal

Note: Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard.

To ensure safe and responsible battery use:

• Do not open, disassemble, puncture, crush, bend, or shred.

• Do not expose to water or other liquids, fire, explosion, or other hazards.

• Use the battery only in the mobile hotspot.

• If using with a charger, use only the charger supplied with the mobile hotspot.

• Do not short circuit the battery.

• When replacing a battery, use the same model of battery that was supplied

with the mobile hotspot.

• Follow local regulations when disposing of a used battery.

• Avoid dropping the mobile hotspot or the battery. If dropped and you suspect

damage, take it to a service center for inspection.
