A.3.1 RF Safety A.3.1.1 General Your wireless terminal is based on the 3GPP standard for cellular technology. The standard is spread all over the world. It covers Europe, Asia and some parts of America and Africa. This is the most used telecommunication standard. Your wireless terminal is actually a low power radio transmitter and receiver. It sends out and receives radio frequency energy. When you use your wireless application, the cellular system which handles your calls controls both the radio frequency and the power level of your cellular modem. A.3.1.2 Efficient Terminal Operation For your wireless terminal to operate at the lowest power level, consistent with satisfactory call quality: If your terminal has an extendible antenna, extend it fully. Some models allow you to place a call with the antenna retracted. However, your wireless terminal operates more efficiently with the antenna fully extended. Do not hold the antenna when the terminal is " IN USE ". Holding the antenna affects call quality and may cause the modem to operate at a higher power level than needed. Rev. 2.1 September 2022 59 41114368 Product Technical Specification A.3.1.3 Antenna Care and Replacement Do not use the wireless terminal with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Replace a damaged antenna immediately. Consult your manual to see if you may change the antenna yourself. If so, use only a manufacturer-approved antenna. Otherwise, have your antenna repaired by a qualified technician. Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications or attachments could damage the terminal and may contravene local RF emission regulations or invalidate type approval. A.4 General Safety A.4.1 Driving Check the laws and the regulations regarding the use of cellular devices in the area where you have to drive as you always have to comply with them. When using your wireless terminal while driving, please: • give full attention to driving, • pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require. A.4.2 Electronic Devices Most electronic equipment, for example in hospitals and motor vehicles is shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy may affect some improperly shielded electronic equipment. A.4.3 Vehicle Electronic Equipment Check your vehicle manufacturer representative to determine if any on-board electronic equipment is adequately shielded from RF energy. A.4.4 Medical Electronic Equipment Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Turn your terminal OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in the area instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using RF monitoring equipment. Rev. 2.1 September 2022 60 41114368 A.4.5 Aircraft Turn your terminal OFF before boarding any aircraft. • Use it on the ground only with crew permission • Do not use it in the air To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use your terminal while the aircraft is on the ground. To prevent interference with cellular systems, local RF regulations prohibit using your modem while airborne. A.4.6 Children Do not allow children to play with your wireless terminal. It is not a toy. Children could hurt themselves or others (by poking themselves or others in the eye with the antenna, for example). Children could damage the modem, or make calls that increase your modem bills. A.4.7 Blasting Areas To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your unit OFF when in a « blasting area » or in areas posted: « turn off two-way radio ». Construction crew often use remote control RF devices to set off explosives. A.4.8 Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Turn your terminal OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your modem or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injuries or even death. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include fuelling areas such as petrol stations; below decks on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives, in the compartment of your vehicle which contains your terminal or accessories. Before using your terminal in a vehicle powered by liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) ensure that the vehicle complies with the relevant fire and safety regulations of the country in which the vehicle is to be used.
