off the host device and remove the modem from the USB port when instructed to do
so, or when you suspect that it may cause interference or danger.

2. Where explosive atmospheres may be present

 Do not operate the WMR-100 in any area where a potentially explosive

atmosphere may exist. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death. Be aware and comply with all signs and
instructions.

 Users are advised not to operate the WMR-100 while at a refueling point or

service station. Users are reminded to observe restrictions on the use of radio
equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical plants or
where blasting operations are in progress.

 Area with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly

marked. Potential locations can include gas stations, below deck on boats,
chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas
(such as propane or butane), 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 vehicle engine.
