1. Introduction
When using the Option GE020x, it is necessary to pay attention to all safety aspects
described in this document. Using these guidelines is mandatory to provide certainty of
the safe use of the card for the end-user. Breaking these rules may be dangerous or
illegal.
2. Safety Measurements
Following items contain simple recommendations relevant to the use of the Option
datacard, please read them carefully. Not following these guidelines can cause harm to
the card, yourself or other persons in your immediate environment.
General recommendations for use
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
Always treat your product with care and keep in a clean and dust-free place. Do not
expose your product to open flames or lit tobacco products.
Do not expose to liquid, moisture or humidity. Do not expose the datacard to rain, or
other liquids. Do not drop, throw or try to bend your product.
Do not paint your product.
Do not attempt to disassemble your product. Doing so will void the warranty. Only
authorized personnel should do so.
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.
Ambient temperatures
Do not expose the datacard or the antenna to ambient temperatures i.e. outside of
minimum -25 and maximum +35 degrees Celsius.
Explosive atmosphere
Turn off your PC in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your
PC 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 (petrol filling stations), below
deck 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 PC and accessories.
Blasting areas – construction sites
Turn off your PC when in a blasting area in order to avoid interfering with two-way
radios used in blasting operations.
Do not use on aircraft
Using a wireless devices on aircraft can cause interference and is illegal. If you intend to
use your laptop/PDA whilst on an aircraft, you MUST remove your the datacard before
boarding any aircraft. Do not use it on the ground without permission from the aircraft
crew.
Do not use in hospitals
Follow any regulations or rules. In most cases in hospitals, datacards do not pose any
problems. However, using a datacard close to sensitive electronic devices could possibly
result in interference. If you intend to use your laptop/PDA in such areas, you SHOULD
remove the datacard. People are usually asked to switch off all electronic devices in some
selected areas in hospitals, a recommendation that Option fully supports.
Interference from radio signals
Option relies on health authorities and relevant expert bodies for advice on any potential
undesired responses to radio frequency fields from datacard technology such as
interference to electronic or electrical equipment and transmission in hazardous
environments.
Immunity to interference
In electromagnetic terms, interference is the disturbance of the normal operation of an
electronic or electrical device due to an undesired response to radio signals from an
external source. In relation to the datacard, it is for example possible to detect a short
audible signal over radios or multimedia personal computers just seconds before the
phone rings. These audible signals do not, however interfere with the operation of the
radio, computer or phone. 1989 Directive from the European Commission
(89/336/ECC)13 governing all forms of electronic equipment concerns interference that
such equipment produces and its immunity to interference from outside. Any equipment
compliant with that directive is unlikely to suffer interference. All wireless devices may
get interference which could affect performance.
Cardiac pacemakers, implanted defibrillators & other medical implant
devices
It is possible that some datacards may interfere with some types of pacemakers or
implanted defibrillators when operated close to the implanted device. You should seek
advice from your doctor for advice for your specific implant. Health authorities in many
countries have set up advisory services for medical devices and implants including
providing advice about maintaining separation distances between datacards or other radio
frequency terminal equipment and the embedded device. Option operating companies
reflect the advice given by their relevant health authority or national advisory service
and/or as a minimum indicate a separation distance of at least 15cm between datacards or
other radio frequency terminal equipment and the embedded device.
Hearing devices
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience interfering noises
when using mobile devices or when one is nearby. The level of interference will depend
on the type of datacard, the type of hearing device and the distance between the two.
Interference may be reduced by keeping a distance between the mobile device and
hearing device.
Children
Do NOT allow children to play with datacard. They could hurt themselves or others, or
could accidentally damage the datacard. Your datacard also contains small parts with
sharp edges that may cause an injury or which could become detached and create a
choking hazard.
Driving
Do NOT use data card while driving; park the vehicle first.
SIM cards
Inserting and removing the SIM card - precautions against electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Do NOT touch the SIM card connectors. As a precaution, always make sure that datacard
is already in your hand before you insert or remove the SIM card.
Accessories
Use only approved accessories. Do NOT connect with incompatible products.
Traveling
Handle the card with care while traveling. It is recommended to remove the card from the
laptop.
Safe distance
Concerning specific safety guidelines we advise the end-user to keep a certain minimum
distance between him and the device. The card is thoroughly tested against FCC SAR
requirements which measure the absorption of radiation of the data card in the human
body of the user. We comply to these SAR requirements, but we advice the user to keep a
minimum distance of 20 cm. When using an external antenna, it is advised to use the
same safety distance of 20 cm from that antenna.
Supply voltage
The PCMCI express card has to be supplied by a limited power source according to EN
60950-1:2001.
