Important Notice Because of the nature of wireless communications, trans-

mission 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 network card are

used in a normal manner with a well-constructed network, the

Sierra Wireless network card 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, Inc. accepts no responsibility for damages of

any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or

received using the Sierra Wireless network card, or for failure

of the Sierra Wireless network card to transmit or receive such

data.

Safety and Hazards Do not operate the Sierra Wireless AirCard®710/750 wireless

network card 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 Sierra Wireless network card MUST BE POWERED

OFF. The Sierra Wireless network card can transmit signals

that could interfere with this equipment.

Do not operate the Sierra Wireless network card in any aircraft,

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

Sierra Wireless network card MUST BE POWERED OFF.

When operating, the Sierra Wireless network card 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 network

cards may be used at this time.

The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the

Sierra Wireless network card 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.

FCC RF Exposure

Information

In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission

(FCC) of the United States with its action in Report and Order

FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for human

exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy

emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are

AirCard 710/750 Network Card User Guide

iv 2130135

consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S.

and international standards bodies. The design of this wireless

network card complies with the FCC guidelines and these

international standards.

Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized

antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call

quality, damage the phone, or result in violation of FCC

regulations.

This device has been tested for FCC RF exposure require-

ments in a laptop PC. To comply with FCC RF exposure

requirements the AirCard 710/750 PCS GSM modem card

must be operated with a minimum separation distance of

2.0 cm (0.8 inch) (for the AirCard 710) between the user/

nearby persons and the antenna.

For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC

web site at www.fcc.gov
