Important Notice
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.
Safety and Hazards
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.
