Safety and Use
We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your
modem. The manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage, which
may result as a consequence of improper use of the modem or of use
contrary to the instructions contained herein.
Traffic Safety
When driving, do not use the modem:
When switched on, the modem emits electromagnetic waves that
can interfere with the vehicle’s electronic systems such as ABS
anti-lock brakes or airbags. To ensure that there is no problem,
please do not place the modem on top of the dashboard or within
an airbag deployment area.
Check with your car dealer or the car manufacturer to make sure
that the dashboard is adequately shielded from modem RF energy.
Conditions of Use
1. Switch the modem off before boarding an aircraft.
2. Switch the modem off when you are in health care facilities, except
in designated areas. As with many other types of equipment now in
regular use, mobile telemodems can interfere with other electrical
or electronic devices, or equipment-using radio frequencies.
3. Switch the modem off when you are near gas or flammable liquids.
Strictly obey all signs and instructions posted in a fuel depot, petrol
station, chemical plant, or in any potentially explosive atmosphere.
4. When the modem is switched on, it should be kept at least 15 cm
from any medical device such as a pacemaker, a hearing aid or
insulin pump, etc.
5. Do not let children use the modem without supervision. The modem
may contain small parts that could become detached and create
a choking hazard.
6. When replacing the cover, please note that the modem may
contain substances that could create an allergic reaction.
7. Always handle the modem with care and keep it in a clean and
dust-free place.
8. Do not open, dismantle or attempt to repair the modem yourself.
9. Do not drop, throw or bend the modem.
