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

Safety and Hazards DonotoperatetheSierraWirelessmodem:

•Inareaswhereblastingisinprogress

•Whereexplosiveatmospheresmaybepresent

•Nearmedicalequipment

•Nearlifesupportequipment,oranyequipmentthatmay

besusceptibletoanyformofradiointerference.Insuch

areas,theSierraWirelessmodemMUSTBEPOWERED

OFF.TheSierraWirelessmodemcantransmitsignalsthat

couldinterferewiththisequipment.

DonotoperatetheSierraWirelessmodeminanyaircraft,

whethertheaircraftisonthegroundorinflight.Inaircraft,the

SierraWirelessmodemMUSTBEPOWEREDOFF.When

operating,theSierraWirelessmodemcantransmitsignalsthat

couldinterferewithvariousonboardsystems.

Note: Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while the

aircraft is on the ground and the door is open. The Sierra Wireless

modem may be used at this time.

Thedriveroroperatorofanyvehicleshouldnotoperatethe

SierraWirelessmodemwhileincontrolofavehicle.Doingso

willdetractfromthedriveroroperatorʹscontrolandoperation

ofthatvehicle.Insomestatesandprovinces,operatingsuch

communicationsdeviceswhileincontrolofavehicleisan

1.8 Mbps(uplinktothenetwork).Averagedataratesare

450‐800 Kbps(downlinkfromthenetwork)and

300‐400 Kbps(uplinktothenetwork).Actualspeed

dependsonthenetworkconditions.

Theconnectionis“active”whendatatransmissionis

occurring.Ifdatatransmissionstopsforaperiodoftime

(determinedbythenetwork),theconnectionbecomes
