Do not hold the antenna when the modem is „IN USE“. Holding the antenna affects
call quality and may cause the modem to operate at a higher power level than
needed.
2.4 Antenna care and replacement
Do not use the modem 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.
Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications
or attachments could damage the modem and may contravene local RF emission
regulations or invalidate type approval.
2.5 Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular devices in the area where you
drive. Always obey them. Also, when using your modem while driving, please pay full
attention to driving, pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions so require. When applications are prepared for mobile use they
should fulfill road-safety instructions of the current law!
2.6 Electronic devices
Most electronic equipment, for example in hospitals and motor vehicles is shielded
from RF energy. However, RF energy may affect some malfunctioning or improperly
shielded electronic equipment.
2.7 Vehicle electronic equipment
Check your vehicle manufacturer’s representative to determine if any on board
electronic equipment is adequately shielded from RF energy.
2.8 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 STEPPII-55/56-LT device 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.
2.9 Aircraft
Turn your STEPPII-55/56-LT 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
modem while the plane is on the ground. To prevent interference with cellular
systems, local RF regulations prohibit using your modem whilst airborne.
