General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a high-speed, data-only service that is an
add-on to the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) cellular network -
a type of network used to provide cellular phone service. The SAMBA3G-G Modem
provides reliable data connections to GPRS 900 MHz (GSM), GPRS 900 (GSM), and
1800 MHz (DCS) networks. When in regions where GPRS is not available, user can
still establish 14.4 kbps GSM data connections.
EDGE
Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) is a third-generation (3G) high-
speed mobile data and Internet access technology, with downlink/uplink up to
236.8 kb/s. The average rates are fast enough to support a wide range of advanced
data services, including streaming audio and video, fast Internet access and large
file downloads.
HSDPA
High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) is a 3G (third generation) mobile
telephony communications protocol in the High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA)
family, which allows networks based on Universal Mobile Telecommunications
System (UMTS) to have higher data transfer speeds and capacity. Current HSDPA
on SAMBA3G-G supports down-link speed of up to 7.2 Mbits/s and up-link speed of
up to 5.76 Mb/s.
1.2 AT command support

2SECURITY
IMPORTANT FOR THE EFFICIENT AND SAFE OPERATION OF YOUR GSM-MODEM, READ THIS
INFORMATION BEFORE USE!
Your cellular engine SAMBA3G-G is one of the most exciting and innovative electronic products
ever developed. With it you can stay in contact with your office, your home, emergency services
and others, wherever service is provided.
This chapter contains important information for the safe and reliable use of the SAMBA3G-G
modem. Please read this chapter carefully before starting to use the cellular engine SAMBA3G.
2.1 General information
Your SAMBA3G-G device utilizes the GSM standard for cellular technology. GSM is a newer radio
frequency („RF“) technology than the current FM technology that has been used for radio
communications for decades. The GSM standard has been established for use in the European
community and elsewhere. Your SAMBA3G-G is actually a low power radio transmitter and
receiver. It sends out and receives radio frequency energy. When you use your modem, the cellular
system handling your calls controls both the radio frequency and the power level of your cellular
modem.
2.2 Exposure to RF energy
There has been some public concern about possible health effects of using a GSM modem.
Although research on health effects from RF energy has focused for many years on the current RF
technology, scientists have begun research regarding newer radio technologies, such as GSM. After
existing research had been reviewed, and after compliance to all applicable safety standards had
been tested, it has been concluded that the product is fit for use.
If you are concerned about exposure to RF energy there are things you can do to minimize
exposure. Obviously, limiting the duration of your calls will reduce your exposure to RF energy. In
addition, you can reduce RF exposure by operating your cellular modem efficiently by following
the guidelines below.
2.3 Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular devices in the area where you drive. Always
obey them. Also, when using your modem while driving, please pay full attention to driving, pull
off the road and park before making or answering a data call if driving conditions so require. When
applications are prepared for mobile use they should fulfil road-safety instructions of the current
law!
2.4 Electronic devices
Most electronic equipment, for example in hospitals and motor vehicles is shielded from RF
energy. However, RF energy may affect some malfunctioning or improperly shielded electronic
equipment.
SAMBA3G-G Version 1.0.3
This confidential document is a property of FALCOM GmbH and may not be copied or circulated without previous permission.
Page 9 of 22
2.5 Vehicle electronic equipment
Check your vehicle manufacturer’s representative to determine if any on board electronic
equipment is adequately shielded from RF energy.
2.6 Medical electronic equipment
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.)
to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy.
Turn your SAMBA3G-G device OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in the area
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using RF monitoring equipment.
2.7 Aircraft
Turn your SAMBA3G-G OFF before boarding any aircraft. Use it on the ground only with crew
permission. Do not use it in the air.
To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use your modem while the
plane is on the ground. To prevent interference with cellular systems, local RF regulations prohibit
using your modem whilst airborne.
2.8 Children
Do not allow children to play with your SAMBA3G-G device. It is not a toy. Children could hurt
themselves or others (by poking themselves or others in the eye with the antenna, for example).
Children could damage the modem or make calls that increase your modem bills.
2.9 Blasting areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your unit OFF when in a “blasting area” or in
areas posted: "turn off two-way radio". Construction crew often uses remote control RF devices to
set off explosives.
2.10 Potentially explosive atmospheres
Turn your SAMBA3G-G device OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is
rare, but your modems or their accessories could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could
cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They
include fuelling areas such as petrol stations; below decks on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or
storage facilities; and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or
metal powders.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives, in the compartment of your vehicle,
which contains your modem or accessories.

Page 10 of 22
Before using your modem in a vehicle powered by liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or
butane) ensure that the vehicle complies with the relevant fire and safety regulations of the
country in which the vehicle is to be used.
2.11 Non-ionizing radiation
The SAMBA3G-G comes with an internal antenna. Therefore, care should be taken to install the
modem in such a position that no part of the human body will normally rest within 20 cm of any
part of the modem. It is also recommended to use the modem not close to medical devices as for
example hearing aids and pacemakers.
