2 SECURITY
IMPORTANT FOR THE EFFICIENT AND AFE OPERATION OF YOUR G M-MODEM, READ THI
INFORMATION BEFORE U E!
Your cellular engine AMBA3G-E is one of the most exciting and innovative electronic
products ever developed. With it you can stay in contact with your office, your home,
emergency services and others, wherever service is provided.
This chapter contains important information for the safe and reliable use of the
AMBA3G-E modem. Please read this chapter carefully before starting to use the
cellular engine AMBA3G.
2.1 General information
Your AMBA3G-E device utilizes the G M standard for cellular technology. G M is a
newer radio frequency („RF“) technology than the current FM technology that has
been used for radio communications for decades. The G M standard has been
established for use in the European community and elsewhere. Your AMBA3G-E is
actually a low power radio transmitter and receiver. It sends out and receives radio
frequency energy. When you use your modem, the cellular system handling your calls
controls both the radio frequency and the power level of your cellular modem.
2.2 Exposure to RF ener y
There has been some public concern about possible health effects of using a G M
modem. Although research on health effects from RF energy has focused for many
years on the current RF technology, scientists have begun research regarding newer
radio technologies, such as G M. After existing research had been reviewed, and after
compliance to all applicable safety standards had been tested, it has been concluded
that the product is fit 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 modem efficiently by following the guidelines below.
2.3 Drivin
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 data call if
driving conditions so require. When applications are prepared for mobile use they
should fulfil road-safety instructions of the current law!
2.4 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.

Page 9

AMBA3G-E U ER’ GUIDE VER ION 1.0.1
2.5 Vehicle electronic equipment
Check your vehicle manufacturer’s representative to determine if any on board
electronic equipment is adequately shielded from RF energy.
2.6 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 AMBA3G-E 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.
2.7 Aircraft
Turn your AMBA3G-E 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.
2.8 Children
Do not allow children to play with your AMBA3G-E device. 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.
2.9 Blastin 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 crew often uses remote
control RF devices to set off explosives.
2.10 Potentially explosive atmospheres
Turn your AMBA3G-E device OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere. It is rare, but your modems or their accessories could generate sparks.
parks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury 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 modem or accessories.
Before using your modem 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.

2.11 Non-ionizin radiation
The AMBA3G-E comes with an internal antenna. Therefore, care should be taken to
install the modem in such a position that no part of the human body will normally rest
within 20 cm of any part of the modem. It is also recommended to use the modem not
close to medical devices as for example hearing aids and pacemakers.
