Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. Quick Start Guide 3

Introduction

The purpose of this guide is to show you how to set up your

MultiModem EDGE wireless modem. For information on operating

and configuring your modem see the User Guide, which is available

on the MultiModem CD and the Multi-Tech Web site.

See the Multi-Tech Web site for the lastest version of user

documentation.

General Safety

The modem is designed for and intended to be used in fixed and

mobile applications. “Fixed” means that the device is physically

secured at one location and is not able to be easily moved to

another location. In a “Mobile” application, the device may be moved

regularly from one location to another.

Caution: Maintain a separation distance of at least 20 cm (8 inches)

between the transmitter’s antenna and the body of the user or

nearby persons. The modem is not designed for, nor intended to be,

used in applications within 20 cm (8 inches) of the body of the user.

RF Interference Issues

Avoid possible radio frequency (RF) interference by carefully

following the safety guidelines below.

•Switch OFF the MultiModem when in an aircraft. The use of

cellular telephones in aircraft is illegal. It may endanger the

operation of the aircraft and/or disrupt the cellular network.

Failure to observe this instruction may lead to suspension or

denial of cellular services to the offender, legal action, or both.

•Switch OFF the MultiModem in the vicinity of gasoline or diesel-

fuel pumps or before filling a vehicle with fuel.

•Switch OFF the MultiModem in hospitals and any other place

where medical equipment may be in use.

•Respect restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel

depots, chemical plants, or in areas of blasting operations.

MultiModem in the vicinity of inadequately protected personal

medical devices such as hearing aids and pacemakers.

it is adequately protected.

•Operation of the MultiModem in the vicinity of other electronic

equipment may cause interference if the equipment is

inadequately protected. Observe any warning signs and

manufacturers’ recommendations.

Vehicle Safety

•Do not use your MultiModem while driving.

•Respect national regulations on the use of cellular telephones

in vehicles. Road safety always comes first.

•If incorrectly installed in a vehicle, the operation of MultiModem

telephone could interfere with the correct functioning of vehicle

electronics. To avoid such problems, be sure that the

Connect the power supply to its source (for example, in a

mobile situation, to the vehicle’s DC fuse/terminal block).

Warning

Do not connect your wireless modem directly to a

vehicle’s battery for your power source. Doing so

may cause power spikes. If you wish to use the

battery as a power source, add a filtering device to

the DC input.

Optional – Attach the Modem to Flat Surface

bracket and two mounting screws. Drill the mounting holes at the

desired mounting location. The mounting holes must be separated

by 125mm (4 -15/16 inches) center-to-center. Slide the mounting

brackets into slot on the back side of the MultiModem chassis.
