1. Introduction
This document contains very important information about the safe operation of your
Option datacard. We recommend you read this entire document before using the card.
Ignoring these guidelines may be dangerous or illegal.
1.1 Your datacard is like a mobile phone
Your datacard uses the same technology as a mobile phone. It is important that you
always obey all safety regulations related to mobile phone use. If you have any doubt
about the safe operation of your datacard you should remove the datacard from the PC
and seek advice from authorized personnel.
2. Safety Measurements
Please read the following guidelines carefully. Not following these guidelines can cause
harm to the card, yourself or other persons.
2.1 General recommendations for use
ƒ
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 may be dangerous and it will
void the warranty.
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.
2.2 Traveling
Handle the card with care while traveling. It is recommended to remove the card from the
laptop.
2.3 Ambient temperatures
Do not expose the datacard or the antenna to ambient temperatures beyond the range of
-25 and +50 degrees Celsius.
2.4 Explosive atmosphere
Turn off your PC in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your
PC could generate sparks, which could cause an explosion or fire. Areas with a
potentially explosive atmosphere are 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 your PC and accessories in the compartment of a
vehicle, which contains flammable gas, liquid, or explosives.
2.5 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.
2.6 Do not use on aircraft
Using a wireless devices on aircraft can cause interference and is illegal. Remove your
datacard if you intend to use your PC whilst in an aircraft. Do not use it when the plane is
on the ground without permission from the aircraft crew.
2.7 Do not use in hospitals
Please ensure you follow any local regulations or rules. People are often asked to switch
off all electronic devices in some areas of a hospital; this is a recommendation that
Option fully supports. Using a datacard close to sensitive electronic devices could
possibly result in interference. If you intend to use your PC in such areas, you must
remove the datacard.
2.8 Interference from radio signals
Option relies on advice from health authorities and relevant expert bodies about potential
undesired responses to radio emissions from datacards.
2.9 Immunity to interference
Electromagnetic interference is the disturbance of the normal operation of a device due to
its undesired response to radio signals from an external source. Occasionally in some
situations you may hear short sounds coming from audio equipment such as radio or
multimedia PC. However, these audible signals do not interfere with the operation of the
equipment.
The 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.
2.10 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 that is specific to the implant before using the datacard. Health
authorities in many countries have set up advisory services for medical devices and
implants including providing advice about maintaining separation distance between
datacards or other radio frequency equipment and the implant. 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.
2.11 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.
Increasing the distance between the datacard and hearing device may reduce interference.
2.12 Children
Do not allow children to play with your datacard. They could hurt themselves or others,
or could accidentally damage the datacard. Your datacard contains small parts with sharp
edges that may cause an injury or which could become detached and create a choking
hazard.
2.13 Driving
Do NOT use data card while driving; park the vehicle first.
2.14 SIM cards
To protect against damage from 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.
2.15 Accessories
Only use Option approved accessories. Do not connect with incompatible products.
When used with accessories such as external antennas Option can only guarantee safe
and correct operation of our products if the accessories are tested and approved by us.
To comply with international safety requirements; when using an Option approved
external antenna you must ensure that it is kept from the body at a distance greater than
20 cm.
2.16 Safe distance
We advise the end-user to keep a minimum distance of 20 cm between him and the
device.
The datacard has been thoroughly tested to comply with SAR requirements. These tests
simulate the absorption by the human body of radiation from the datacard.
The SAR tests were performed with the antenna at a distance of 15mm from a phantom
as required by the Vodafone Test Specification. The power maximums measured for a
mass of 10g (European bands) and a mass of 1g (American bands) are:
Band
GSM850
GSM900
GSM1800
GSM1900
FDD1
FDD2
FDD5
Averaged mass

SAR measured
The SAR limit as defined by the European Council Recommendation is 2,0 W/kg for a
mass of 10g (R&TTE Directive 1999 519 EC). The FCC guidelines [OET 65] define a
limit of 1,6 W/kg averaged over a mass of 1g. We can therefore reasonably assert that the
Option datacard complies with SAR requirements.
For day-to-day use we would advise the user to keep a minimum distance from the
antenna of 20 cm. When using an external antenna, it is advised to use the same safety
distance of 20 cm from the external antenna.
2.17 Supply voltage
The PCMCI express card has to be supplied by a limited power source according to EN
60950-1:2001.
