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.

If you have purchased this product under a United States

Government contract, it shall be subject to restrictions as set

forth in subparagraph (c)(1)(ii) of Defense Federal Acquisitions

Regulations (DFARs) Section 252.227-7013 for Department of

Defense contracts, and as set forth in Federal Acquisitions

Regulations (FARs) Section 52.227-19 for civilian agency

contracts or any successor regulations. If further government

regulations apply, it is your responsibility to ensure

compliance with such regulations.

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 a

computer or any other device connected to 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 commu-

nications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offence.
