NETGEAR and its affiliates accept no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or received using the AirCard 781S Mobile Hotspot, or for failure of the AirCard 781S 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 interference. 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. Rev 3 Sep.13 25 AirCard 781S Mobile Hotspot User Guide 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 mobile hotspot may be used normally at this time. • While operating a vehicle The 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 communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offence. Caution: Unauthorized modifications or changes not expressly approved by NETGEAR, Inc. could void compliance with regulatory rules, and thereby your authority to use this device. Proper Battery Use and Disposal Note: Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard. To ensure safe and responsible battery use: • Do not open, disassemble, puncture, crush, bend, or shred. • Do not expose to water or other liquids, fire, explosion, or other hazards. • Use the battery only in the mobile hotspot. • If using with a charger, use only the charger supplied with the mobile hotspot. • Do not short circuit the battery. • When replacing a battery, use the same model of battery that was supplied with the mobile hotspot. • Follow local regulations when disposing of a used battery. • Avoid dropping the mobile hotspot or the battery. If dropped and you suspect damage, take it to a service center for inspection.
