MultiModem GPRS and CDMA Wireless Modem

Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. Quick Start Guide 3

Introduction

This guide shows you how to set up your Multi-Tech wireless

MultiModem. For detailed information, product specifications,

troubleshooting tips, and more, see the User Guide, available on the

MultiModem CD accompanying your wireless modem.

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.

•There may be a hazard associated with the operation of your

MultiModem in the vicinity of inadequately protected personal

medical devices such as hearing aids and pacemakers.

Consult the manufacturers of the medical device to determine if

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.

Hazardous Locations Installation Instructions

1. The modems are open devices intended for installation in

an ultimate enclosure suitable for the intended application.

2. THIS EQUIPMENT IS SUITABLE FOR USE IN CLASS I,

Vehicle Safety

•Do not use your Wireless MultiModem while driving, unless

equipped with a correctly installed vehicle kit allowing ‘Hands-

Free’ Operation.

•Respect national regulations on the use of cellular telephones

in vehicles. Road safety always comes first.
