Important Notice
Because of the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of data can never
be guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors) or be totally lost. Although
significant delays or losses of data are rare when wireless devices such as the PC Card-Model
PC3220 CDMA modem are used in a normal manner with a well constructed network, they
should not be used in situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage
of any kind to the user or another party, including but not limited to personal injury, death or loss
of personal property. No responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in
data transmitted or received using the PC Card-Model PC3220 CDMA modem, or for failure of
the PC Card-Model PC3220 to transmit or receive such data.
Safety and Hazards
Do not operate the PC Card-Model PC3220 in areas where blasting is in progress, where
explosive atmospheres may be present, near medical equipment, life support equipment, or any
equipment which may be susceptible to any form of radio interference. In such areas the PC
Card-Model PC3220 MUST BE POWERED OFF.
It can transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment.
Do not operate the PC Card- Model PC3220 in any aircraft whether the aircraft is on the ground
or in flight. In aircraft, the PC Card- Model PC3220 MUST BE POWERED OFF. When operating
it can transmit signals that could interfere with various onboard systems.
The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the PC Card- Model PC3220 while in
control of a vehicle. Doing so will detract from the driver or operator’s control and operation of that
