Although data loss is rare, the environment where you operate the modem may adversely affect communications. Variations in radio signal strength are referred to as fading.
While operating a vehicle o The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate a wireless data device while in control of a vehicle. Doing so will detract from the driver or operator's control and operation of that vehicle. In some countries, operating such communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offense.
