Due to 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 Sierra Wireless modem are used
in a normal manner with a well-constructed network, the Sierra Wireless modem should not be used
in situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any kind to the user or
any other party, including but not limited to personal injury, death, or loss of property. Sierra Wireless
accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or
received using the Sierra Wireless modem, or for failure of the Sierra Wireless modem to transmit or
receive such data.

7. Safety Recommendations (For
Information Only)
For the safe and efficient operation of your GSM application based on the WMP module, please read
the following information carefully.
7.1. RF Safety
7.1.1. General Information
Your GSM terminal is based on the GSM standard for cellular technology. The GSM standard is
spread all over the world. It covers Europe, Asia and some parts of America and Africa. This is the
most used telecommunication standard.
Your GSM terminal is actually a low power radio transmitter and receiver. It sends out and receives
radio frequency energy. When you use your GSM application, the cellular system which handles your
calls controls both the radio frequency and the power level of your cellular modem.
7.1.2. Exposure to RF Energy
There has been some public concern about possible health effects of using GSM terminals. Although
research on health effects from RF energy has focused on the current RF technology for many years,
scientists have begun research regarding newer radio technologies, such as GSM. After existing
research had been reviewed, and after compliance to all applicable safety standards had been tested,
it has been concluded that the product was fitted for use.
If you are concerned about exposure to RF energy there are things you can do to minimize exposure.
Obviously, limiting the duration of your calls will reduce your exposure to RF energy. In addition, you
can reduce RF exposure by operating your cellular terminal efficiently by following the below
guidelines.
7.1.3. Efficient Terminal Operation
For your GSM terminal to operate at the lowest power level, consistent with satisfactory call quality:
If your terminal has an extendible antenna, extend it fully. Some models allow you to place a call with
the antenna retracted. However your GSM terminal operates more efficiently with the antenna fully
extended.
Do not hold the antenna when the terminal is « IN USE ». Holding the antenna affects call quality and
may cause the modem to operate at a higher power level than needed.
7.1.4. Antenna Care and Replacement
Do not use the GSM terminal with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with
the skin, a minor burn may result. Replace a damaged antenna immediately. Consult your manual to
see if you may change the antenna yourself. If so, use only a manufacturer-approved antenna.
Otherwise, have your antenna repaired by a qualified technician.

could damage the terminal and may contravene local RF emission regulations or invalidate type
approval.
7.2. General Safety
7.2.1. Driving
Check the laws and the regulations regarding the use of cellular devices in the area where you have
to drive as you always have to comply with them. When using your GSM terminal while driving,
please:
give full attention to driving,
pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.
7.2.2. Electronic Devices
Most electronic equipment, for example in hospitals and motor vehicles is shielded from RF energy.
However RF energy may affect some improperly shielded electronic equipment.
7.2.3. Vehicle Electronic Equipment
Check your vehicle manufacturer representative to determine if any on-board electronic equipment is
adequately shielded from RF energy.
7.2.4. Medical Electronic Equipment
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) to
determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy.
Turn your terminal OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in the area instruct you to
do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using RF monitoring equipment.
7.2.5. Aircraft
Turn your terminal OFF before boarding any aircraft.
Use it on the ground only with crew permission.
Do not use it in the air.
To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use your terminal while the aircraft
is on the ground. To prevent interference with cellular systems, local RF regulations prohibit using
your modem while airborne.

7.2.6. Children
Do not allow children to play with your GSM terminal. It is not a toy. Children could hurt themselves or
others (by poking themselves or others in the eye with the antenna, for example). Children could
damage the modem, or make calls that increase your modem bills.
7.2.7. Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your unit OFF when in a « blasting area » or in
areas posted: « turn off two-way radio ». Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to
set off explosives.
7.2.8. Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your terminal OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your
application or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion
or fire resulting in bodily injuries or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include
fuelling areas such as petrol stations; below decks 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 terminal or accessories.
Before using your terminal in a vehicle powered by liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or
butane) ensure that the vehicle complies with the relevant fire and safety regulations of the country in
which the vehicle is to be used.
