Important Notice

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.

Safety and Hazards

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.

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.

Limitations of Liability

This manual is provided “as is”. Sierra Wireless makes no warranties of any kind, either expressed or

implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or noninfringement. The recipient of the manual shall endorse all risks arising from its use.

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.

2.1. RF Functionalities

The Radio Frequency (RF) range complies with the Phase II EGSM 900/DCS 1800 and GSM 850/PCS 1900 recommendation. The frequencies are listed in the table below.

Table 1. List of RF Frequency Ranges

The RF part is based on a specific quad band chip including:

 a Digital low-IF receiver  a Quad-band LNAs (Low Noise Amplifier)  an Offset PLL (Phase Locked Loop) transmitter  a Frequency synthesizer  a Digitally controlled crystal oscillator (DCXO)  a Tx/Rx FEM (Front-End Module) for quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE-Rx

2.2. Operating System

The AirPrime WMP Series embedded module is Sierra Wireless Software Suite compliant. With the Sierra Wireless Software Suite and the AirPrime WMP Series embedded module, customers can embed their own applications with the AirPrime WMP and turn the WMP Series embedded module into a solution for their specific market need.

The operating system allows for the AirPrime WMP Series embedded module to be controlled by AT commands. However, some interfaces in the AirPrime WMP Series embedded module may still not be available even with AT command control as these interfaces are dependent on the peripheral devices connected to the AirPrime WMP Series embedded module.
