Important Notice

Safety and Hazards

Limitation of

Liability

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.

Do not operate the Sierra Wireless modem in areas where

blasting is in progress, where explosive atmospheres may be

present, 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.

Do not operate the Sierra Wireless modem in any aircraft,

whether the aircraft is on the ground or in flight. In aircraft, the

Sierra Wireless modem MUST BE POWERED OFF. When

operating, the Sierra Wireless modem can transmit signals that

could interfere with various onboard systems.

Note: Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while the

aircraft is on the ground and the door is open. Sierra Wireless

modems may be used at this time.

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.

The information in this manual is subject to change without

notice and does not represent a commitment on the part of

Sierra Wireless. SIERRA WIRELESS AND ITS AFFILIATES

SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL

DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, GENERAL, INCIDENTAL,

CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES
