Important notice
Because of the nature of wireless communications, trans-
mission 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 network card are
used in a normal manner with a well-constructed network, the
Sierra Wireless network card 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 and its affiliates accept no responsibility for
damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data
transmitted or received using the Sierra Wireless network
card, or for failure of the Sierra Wireless network card to
transmit or receive such data.
Safety and hazards
Do not operate your AirCard wireless network card:
• In areas where blasting is in progress
• Where explosive atmospheres may be present including
refuelling points, fuel depots, and chemical plants
• Near medical equipment
• Near life support equipment, or any equipment which
may be susceptible to any form of radio interference. In
such areas, the AirCard MUST BE POWERED OFF.
Otherwise, the AirCard can transmit signals that could
interfere with this equipment.
In an aircraft, the AirCard MUST BE POWERED OFF.
Otherwise, the AirCard can transmit signals that could
interfere with various onboard systems and may be dangerous
to the operation of the aircraft or disrupt the cellular network.
Use of a cellular phone in an aircraft is illegal in some jurisdi-
cations. Failure to observe this instruction may lead to
suspension or denial of cellular telephone services to the
offender, or legal action or both.
Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while the
aircraft is on the ground and the door is open. The AirCard
may be used normally at this time.
