7: Regulatory and Safety Information
Notice
Because of the nature of wireless communications, transmission and
reception of data can never be guaranteed. Data may be delayed,
corrupted (that is, have errors), or be totally lost. Although significant
delays or losses of data are rare when wireless devices such as the
AirCard 763S Mobile Hotspot are used in a normal manner with a
well-constructed network, the AirCard 763S Mobile Hotspot 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 AirCard 763S Mobile Hotspot, or for failure of the
AirCard 763S Mobile Hotspot to transmit or receive such data.
Safety and Hazards
The mobile hotspot MUST BE POWERED OFF in all areas that may
be susceptible to radio interference, in particular:
• Prohibited areas
Obey all signs and notices and follow all rules and regulations.
Power off the mobile hotspot when instructed to do so or when
you suspect that it may cause interference or danger.
• In areas where blasting is in progress
• Where explosive atmospheres may be present
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are not always
clearly marked. Such areas include gas stations, fuel depots,
chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where blasting is in
progress, areas where the air contains chemicals or particles
such as grain, dust, or metal powders, and any other area where
you would normally be advised to turn off your cellular phone or
vehicle engine.
• Near medical or life-support equipment
Medical equipment may be susceptible to any form of radio inter-
ference. In such areas the mobile hotspot can transmit signals
that could interfere with this equipment.
• On board aircraft
In addition to Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) requirements,
many airline regulations state that you must suspend wireless
operations before boarding an aircraft. The mobile hotspot is
capable of transmitting signals that could interfere with various
onboard systems and controls.
