Regulatory and Safety Information

Please read this document carefully prior to using the
3G Mini-Card Gobi2000 modem in your Fujitsu Life­Book.

Important 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 3G Mini-Card modem are used in a normal man­ner with a well-constructed network, the card 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 3G Mini-Card
modem, or for failure of the modem to transmit or
receive such data.

Safety and hazards

The 3G Mini-Card modem MUST BE POWERED
OFF in all areas that may be susceptible to radio inter-

ference. In particular:

Prohibited Areas

Obey all signs and notices and follow all rules and reg­ulations. Power off the 3G Mini-Card modem when
instructed to do so or when you suspect that it may
cause interference or danger.

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

In areas where medical equipment may be susceptible
to any form of radio interference. In such areas the 3G
Mini-Card modem 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 3G Mini-Card modem is capable of
transmitting signals that could interfere with various
onboard systems and controls.

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 3G Mini-Card modem 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.
