Safety Notices
DO not operate your device in any area where medical equipment, life
support equipment, or near any equipment that may be susceptible to
any form of radio interference. In such areas, the host communications
device must be turned o. The MiFi 2352/2372 may transmit signals that
could interfere with this equipment.
On an aircraft, either on the ground or airborne
In addition to FAA requirements, many airline regulations state that you
must suspend wireless operations before boarding an airplane. Please
ensure that both MiFi and the host device are turned o and that the MiFi
USB Cable is removed from the USB ports prior to boarding aircraft in
order to comply with these regulations. MiFi can transmit signals that
could interfere with various onboard systems and controls.
While operating a vehicle
The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate a wireless data
device while in control of a vehicle. Doing so will detract from the driver or
operator's control and operation of that vehicle. In some countries, operat-
ing such communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an
oense.

Battery tips
Battery life depends on the network, signal strength, temperature, features,
and accessories you use.
-Always use Novatel Wireless Original batteries and chargers. The warranty
does not cover damage caused by non-Novatel Wireless batteries and/or
chargers.
-New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may take more time to
charge.
-When charging your battery, keep it near room temperature.
-When storing your battery, keep it uncharged in a cool, dark, dry place.
-Never expose batteries to temperatures below -10°C (14°F) or above 45°C
(113°F). Never leave the device in an unattended vehicle due to uncontrollable
temperatures that may be outside the desired temperature for this device.
-It is normal for batteries to gradually wear down and require longer charging
times. If you notice a change in your battery life, it is probably time to purchase
a new battery.
Contact your local recycling center for proper battery disposal.
WARNING: Never dispose of batteries in a re because they may explode.
Before using the MiFi Modem, read the battery safety information in the
“Safety and General Information” section at the back of this guide. You will
need to install and charge the battery as described on page XX. Some batteries
perform best after several full charge/discharge cycles.
