Important

Notice 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.

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. Sierra Wireless modems 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

operator's control and operation of that vehicle. In some states and provinces,

operating such communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offence.

Limitation of

Liability The information in this manual is subject to change without notice and does not

represent a commitment on the part of Sierra Wireless. SIERRA WIRELESS AND

ITS AFFILIATES SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL

DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, GENERAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL,

PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,

LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS OR REVENUE

ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE ANY SIERRA WIRELESS

PRODUCT, EVEN IF SIERRA WIRELESS AND/OR ITS AFFILIATES HAS BEEN

ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR THEY ARE

FORESEEABLE OR FOR CLAIMS BY ANY THIRD PARTY.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Sierra Wireless and/or its

affiliates aggregate liability arising under or in connection with the Sierra Wireless

product, regardless of the number of events, occurrences, or claims giving rise to

liability, be in excess of the price paid by the purchaser for the Sierra Wireless

About the AirCard USB Modem

The Sierra Wireless AirCard®USB Modem enables you to connect to

the Internet, send and receive email, connect to a corporate network

or virtual private network (VPN), or view streaming video without the

need for a network cable.

The AirCard USB Modem connects to a Type A USB port on your

computer.

If the AirCard USB Modem is TRU-Install enabled, all the required

software is available on the modem. When you set up your AirCard

USB Modem, the software is installed on your computer. You do not

need an installation CD. (Depending on your service provider, your

modem may include an installation CD.)

The AirCard USB Modem has a built-in antenna and may have a slot

that accommodates a microSDexternal memory card. Depending

on your service provider, a microSD card may be included in your

package, or you may need to purchase it separately.

Depending on the model and your service provider, your modem may

support GPS.

Your account and coverage area

Note: If you purchased the

modem from a GSM

service provider, you may

already have an account

and a SIM card.

Otherwise, your retailer

should be able to give you

the names of companies

that provide these items.

You must have an account with a GSM service provider to use the

AirCard USB Modem. To use the AirCard USB Modem’s 3G or LTE

capability, your account must be with a service provider that offers 3G

or LTE service. (The AirCard USB Modem is backwards compatible

with 2G service.)

When you obtain your account, you are given a Subscriber Identity

Module (SIM) card containing account information. You must insert

the SIM card into the AirCard USB Modem before you use it.

(Depending on your service provider, the SIM card may already be

inserted.)

When establishing a connection, your AirCard USB Modem uses the fastest

available service. Your ability to obtain service depends on these factors:

Note: The fee for service

is usually higher when you

are roaming (connected to

a network other than the

one belonging to your

service provider).

• Network coverage—You must be within the network coverage area.

• Service provider—If you are within the coverage area of a network that is

not operated by your own service provider, you can obtain service only if

there is a roaming agreement between your service provider and the network

operator.

• Account provisions—Your account may restrict your usage to certain

networks or limit the amount of time you can use the network.

• Frequency band—You cannot connect to networks operating in bands not

supported by your modem, regardless of roaming agreements or account

provisions.

Most service providers have coverage maps on their web sites.

AirCard USB Modem features

The AirCard USB Modem has a USB connector, slots for a SIM card, and (on

some models) a microSD external storage card. LEDs on the front or side of the

AirCard USB Modem provide status information.

The placement of card slots, connectors, and LEDs varies depending on your

modem model.
