Precautions and Safety InformationPrecautions and Safety Information

Precautions and Safety Information

 Some electronic devices are susceptible to electromagnetic

interference. The modem is a transmitting device and may cause interference to sensitive electronic equipment such as audio systems, vehicle systems and medical equipment. Please consult the manufacturer of the other device before using the modem.

 Operating of laptop or desktop PCs with the modem may

interfere with medical devices like hearing aids and pacemakers. Please keep the modem more than 20 centimetres away from such medical devices. Turn the modem off if necessary. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device before using the modem near such devices.

 Be aware of the regulations when using the modem at places

such as oil refineries or chemical factories, where there are explosive gases or explosive products being processed. Turn off your modem as instructed.

 Don’t touch the antenna area unnecessarily whilst

connected. This can affect your modem performance and reduce the signal quality.

36

 Store the modem out of the reac h of children. The modem

may cause injury or get damaged.

 The modem contains sensitive electronic circuitry. Do not

expose the modem to any liquids, high temperatures or shock.

 Only use original accessories or accessories that are

authorized by the manufacturer. Using unauthorized accessories may affect your modem’s performance, damage your modem and violate related national regulations.

 Avoid using the modem in areas that emit electromagnetic

 The modem is not waterproof. Please keep it dry and store it

in a cool, dry place.

 Don’t use the modem immediately after a sudden

Radiation from Electronic DevicesRadiation from Electronic Devices

Radiation from Electronic Devices

The USB Wireless modem is a transmitting device with similar output power to a mobile phone. It uses an internal antenna to connect to the mobile network . To get the best performance from your device do not cover or shield the device in any way as this will lead to increased output power. Always leave a clear space around the device to allow the transmit and receive signals to propagate. SAR tests have been completed and comply with the Australia and New Zealand regulatory requirements.
