Manual
Please read this document carefully prior to using the
3G Mini-Card Gobi2000 modem in your Fujitsu
LifeBook.
Important notice
Because of the nature of wireless communications,
transmission and reception of data can never be guar-
anteed. 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 3G Mini-Card modem are used in a normal
manner with a well-constructed network, the card
should not be used in situations where failure to trans-
mit or receive data could result in damage of any kind
to the user or any other party, including but not lim-
ited to personal injury, death, or loss of property.
Sierra Wireless and its affiliates accept no responsibil-
ity for damages of any kind resulting from delays or
errors in data transmitted or received using the 3G
Mini-Card modem, or for failure of the modem to
transmit or receive such data.

Safety and hazards
The 3G Mini-Card modem 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 3G Mini-Card modem
when instructed to do so or when you suspect that it
may cause interference or danger.
Where explosive atmospheres may be present
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are not
always clearly marked. Such areas include gas sta-
tions, fuel depots, chemical transfer or storage facili-
ties, 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
In areas where medical equipment may be susceptible
to any form of radio interference. In such areas the 3G
Mini-Card modem 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 3G Mini-Card modem is capable of
transmitting signals that could interfere with various
onboard systems and controls.

Failure to observe this instruction may lead to suspen-
sion 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 3G Mini-Card modem may be used nor-
mally 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.
Important safety/compliance
information for North American users
Caution: Unauthorized modifications or changes not
expressly approved by Sierra Wireless, Inc. could void
compliance with regulatory rules, and thereby your
authority to use this equipment.
The design of the 3G Mini-Card modem complies
with U.S. Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) and Industry Canada (IC) guidelines respecting
safety levels of radio frequency (RF) exposure for
portable devices, which in turn are consistent with the
following safety standards previously set by Cana-
dian, U.S. and international standards bodies:
• ANSI / IEEE C95.1-1999, IEEE Standard for
Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to

Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3kHz to
300 GHz
• National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurements (NCRP) Report 86, -1986, Biologi-
cal Effects and Exposure Criteria for Radio Fre-
quency Electromagnetic Fields
• Health Canada, Safety Code 6, 1999, Limits of
Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromag-
netic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to
300 GHz
• International Commission on Non-Ionising Radia-
tion Protection (ICNIRP) 1998, Guidelines for lim-
iting exposure to time-varying electric, magnetic,
and electromagnetic fields (up to 300 GHz)
Caution: The 3G Mini-Card modem has been evalu-
ated for compliance with FCC/IC RF exposure limits
in this laptop configuration. This 3G Mini-Card
modem must not be collocated or operated in con-
junction with any other antenna or transmitter other
than the transmitters that have been approved with
this laptop. Use of this device in any other configura-
tion may exceed the FCC RF Exposure compliance
limit.

FCC Radio Frequency
Exposure statement
The available scientific evidence does not show that
any health problems are associated with using low
power wireless devices. There is no proof, however,
that these low power wireless devices are absolutely
safe. Low power wireless devices emit low levels of
radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range
while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can pro-
duce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to
low-level RF that does not produce heating effects
causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies
of low-level RF exposure have not found any biologi-
cal effects. Some studies have suggested that some
biological effects might occur, but such findings have
not been confirmed by additional research. The
UMTS WWAN and the WLAN radio devices have
been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled equip-
ment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Expo-
sure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65.
