1. Safety and Use
We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your modem. The
manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage, which may result as a consequence
of improper use of the modem or of use contrary to the instructions contained
herein.
Traffic Safety
When driving, do not use the modem:
When switched on, the modem emits electromagnetic waves that can interfere
with the vehicle’s electronic systems such as the ABS anti-lock braking system or
airbags. To prevent any of these issues from occurring, please do not place the
modem on top of the dashboard or within an airbag deployment area.
Please check with your car dealer or the car manufacturer to make sure that the
dashboard is adequately shielded from modem RF energy.

all signs and instructions posted in a fuel depot, petrol station, chemical plant,
