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 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. 
•
Store the modem out of the reach 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 authorised by the 
manufacturer. Using unauthorised accessories may affect your modem’s 
performance or damage your modem. 
•
Avoid using the modem in areas that emit electromagnetic waves or in enclosed 
metallic structures eg lifts. 
•
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 temperature change eg from 
an air conditioned environment to high temperature and humidity outside. In 
such cases there could be condensing moisture inside the modem which can 
cause internal damage. Unplug the modem and leave it for 30 minutes before 
use. 
•
Always handle the modem with care. Be careful not to drop or bend the 
modem. 
•
There are no user serviceable parts inside the modem. Unauthorised 
dismantling or repair will void the warranty. 
•
Take care when connecting and removing an external antenna. The correct 
adaptor (TS9) must be used and the ports are delicate and must be handled with 
care. Do not pull or tug on the antenna leads and take care not to trip over them
