Important

Notice

Due to the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of data

can never be guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors) or be

totally lost. Although significant delays or losses of data are rare when wireless

devices such as the Sierra Wireless modem are used in a normal manner with a

well-constructed network, the Sierra Wireless modem should not be used in

situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any

kind to the user or any other party, including but not limited to personal injury,

death, or loss of property. Sierra Wireless accepts no responsibility for damages

of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or received using

the Sierra Wireless modem, or for failure of the Sierra Wireless modem to

transmit or receive such data.

Safety and

Hazards

Do not operate the Sierra Wireless modem in areas where blasting is in progress,

near medical equipment, near life support equipment, or any equipment which

may be susceptible to any form of radio interference. In such areas, the Sierra

Wireless modem MUST BE POWERED OFF. The Sierra Wireless modem can

transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment.

The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the Sierra Wireless

modem while in control of a vehicle. Doing so will detract from the driver or

operator's control and operation of that vehicle. In some states and provinces,

operating such communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offence.
