To use the AirCard USB Modem’s 3G or LTE capability, your account must be with a service provider that offers 3G or LTE service. (The AirCard USB Modem may be backwards compatible with 2G service—support is SKU-dependent.)When you obtain your account, you are given a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card containing account information. You must insert the SIM card into the AirCard USB Modem before you use it. (Depending on your service provider, the SIM card may already be inserted.)When establishing a connection, your AirCard USB Modem uses the fastest available service. Your ability to obtain service depends on these factors:Note: The fee for service is usually higher when you are roaming (connected to a network other than the one belonging to your service provider).• Network coverage—You must be within the network coverage area.• Service provider—If you are within the coverage area of a network that is not operated by your own service provider, you can obtain service only if there is a roaming agreement between your service provider and the network operator.
AirCard USB Modem User Guide64114245• Account provisions—Your account may restrict your usage to certain networks or limit the amount of time you can use the network.• Frequency band—You cannot connect to networks operating in bands not supported by your modem, regardless of roaming agreements or account provisions.Most service providers have coverage maps on their web sites.AirCard USB Modem featuresThe AirCard USB Modem has the following features:•USB connector•SIM card slot•On some models, a microSD external storage card•Status information—Status information is shown using an LCD on the front of the modem.The placement of card slots, connectors, and LCDs varies depending on your modem model.LCD operationAirCard USB Modems have an LCD that shows the current status of the modem.The LCD may display (depending on service provider and model):•Messages while connecting to a network (“Searching for network...”, “Connected to operator”, etc.)•Operational status icons/text—See Ta b l e 1 on page 7.•Alerts (“No SIM installed”, “Data roaming is disabled”, “Data Limit Alert”, connection error messages, etc.)LCD displaymicroSD card and SIM card slots are under the back cover.

AirCard USB Modem User Guide18 4114245Regulatory and safety informationNoticeBecause 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 NETGEAR modem are used in a normal manner with a well-constructed network, the NETGEAR 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. NETGEAR and its affiliates accept no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or received using the NETGEAR modem, or for failure of the NETGEAR modem to transmit or receive such data.Safety and hazardsThe modem MUST BE POWERED OFF in all areas that may be susceptible to radio interference, in particular:•Prohibited areasObey all signs and notices and follow all rules and regulations. Power off the modem when instructed to do so or when you suspect that it may cause inter-ference or danger.•In areas where blasting is in progress•Where explosive atmospheres may be presentAreas 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 equipmentMedical equipment may be susceptible to any form of radio interference. In such areas the modem can transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment.•On board aircraftIn addition to Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) requirements, many airline reg-ulations state that you must suspend wireless operations before boarding an aircraft. The modem is capable of transmitting signals that could interfere with various onboard systems and controls. Failure to observe this instruction may lead to suspension or denial of cellular telephone services to the offender, legal action, or both.Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while the aircraft is on the ground and the door is open. The modem may be used normally at this time.
Rev 1 Apr.13 19•While operating a vehicleThe driver or operator of any vehicle should not use a wireless data device while in control of a vehicle. Doing so detracts from the driver or operator's ability to control and operate the vehicle. In some countries, using such com-munications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offence.Regulatory information for North AmericaCAUTION: Unauthorized modifications or changes not expressly approved by NETGEAR, Inc. could void compliance with regulatory rules, and thereby your authority to use this equipment.These devices comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the condition that these devices do not cause harmful interference.Where appropriate, the use of the equipment is subject to the following condi-tions:Note: (EMI) – United States FCC Information – This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in an appropriate installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communication. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: •Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for helpIf 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.To meet FCC requirements, use only the supplied USB extension cable and laptop clip; other cables and laptop clips should not be used.The NETGEAR USB modem must be 1 cm or more from users during operation, to satisfy FCC / IC RF exposure requirements. The NETGEAR USB modem has been tested for compliance with FCC / IC RF exposure limits in the notebook computer(s) configurations with horizontal and vertical USB slots and can be used in notebook computers with substantially similar physical dimensions, construction, and electrical and RF characteristics. This USB modem must not be
AirCard USB Modem User Guide20 4114245used with any other antenna or transmitter that has not been approved to operate in conjunction with this modem. Note: This USB modem must not be used in any unapproved configurations.
