3.7. Aircraft
Turn your FOX3-2G/3G/4G OFF before boarding any aircraft. Use them on the ground only with crew permission. Do
not use them in the air.
To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you
to have permission from a crew-member to use your modems while the plane is on the ground. To prevent
interference with cellular systems, local RF regulations prohibit using your modems whilst airborne.
3.8. Children
Do not allow children to play with your FOX3-2G/3G/4G devices. It is not a toy. Children could hurt themselves or
others (by poking themselves or others in the eye with the antenna, for example). Children could damage the modems
or make calls that increase your modem bills.
3.9. Blasting areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your device OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: „turn
off two-way radio“. Construction crew often uses remote control RF devices to set off explosives.
3.10. Potentially explosive atmospheres
Turn your FOX3-2G/3G/4G devices OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your
modems or their accessories could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in
bodily injury or even death. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked.
They include fueling areas such as petrol stations; below decks on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities;
and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders. Do not transport or
store flammable gas, liquid or explosives, in the compartment of your vehicle, which contains your modem or
accessories.
Before using your modems in a vehicle powered by liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) ensure that
the vehicle complies with the relevant fire and safety regulations of the country in which the vehicle is to be used.
3.11. Safety for Li-Ion batteries
The FOX3-2G/3G/4G devices are shipped without battery inside. If a backup battery is needed, please refer to the
Ordering Guide and follow the safety rules listed below.
The safety rules below are applied for the Li-Ion internal battery. Lithium-Ion (abbreviation: Li-Ion) batteries require
particularly careful handling. This applies to charging and discharging techniques, and also to storage and other
aspects of general handling. Mistreating the battery may cause the battery to get hot, crack, or inflame and cause
serious injury. In order to avoid any damage and extend the life expectancy of battery, please follow the safety rules
listed below before using FOX3-2G/3G/4G devices with battery option:
• Do not place the battery on, in or near fires, apparatus that provide heat, or other high-temperature locations. Do
not place the battery in direct sunshine, or use or store the battery inside cars in hot weather. Doing so may cause
the battery to generate heat, crack, or inflame. Using the battery in this manner may also result in a loss of
performance.
• Do not attach the battery to a power supply plug or directly to a car’s cigarette lighter.
• Do not pierce the battery with nails, strike the battery with a hammer, step on the battery, or otherwise subject it
to strong impacts or shocks.
• Do not solder onto the battery contacts.
• Do not allow the battery to get wet.
• Do not disassemble or modify the battery.
• Immediately discontinue use of the battery if, while using, charging, or storing the battery, the battery emits an
unusual smell, feels hot, or appears abnormal in any other way.
• Do not place the batteries in microwave ovens, high-pressure containers, or on induction cookware.
• In case the battery drips and the fluid gets into one’s eye, do not rub the eye. Rinse well with water and
immediately look for medical care. If left untreated the battery fluid could cause damage to the eye.
