2. General Precautions
The MTX-StarEnergy-E modem as a standalone item is designed for indoor use only. For outdoor use it
must be integrated into a weatherproof enclosure. Do not exceed the environmental and electrical limits
as specied in General Information Chapter.
• Avoid exposing the device to lighted cigarettes, naked ames or to extreme hot or cold
temperatures.
• Never try to dismantle the device yourself. There are no components inside the modem that
can be serviced by the user. If you attempt to dismantle the device, you may invalidate the
warranty.
• The MTX-StarEnergy-E terminal must not be neither installed nor located in areas where the
surface temperature of the plastic case could exceed 85°C.
• Check that voltage and power available at installation is within range specied for modem. It
can be found on this guide and labeled on modem.
• Do not install any modem that is obviously damaged or suspected of having been damaged.
In order to provide strain relief and to avoid transmitting excessive vibration to the device during installation,
all cables connected to the MTX-StarEnergy-E modem must be secured or clamped immediately adjacent
to the device’s connectors.
• To protect the power supply cables, and in order to comply with the re safety requirements,
when the unit is powered from a battery or a high current supply, a fast 1.25A fuse should be
connected in line with the positive supply.
• No compatible component or product must be connected to the MTX-StarEnergy-E terminal.
NOTE: MTX-StarEnergy-E distributors and sales ofces may refuse warranty claims where evidence
of product misuse is found.
3. SIM Card Precautions
Before handling the SIM card in your application, ensure that you are not charged with static electricity.
Use proper precautions to avoid electrostatic discharges.
• When the SIM card hatch is opened, the SIM card connectors lie exposed under the SIM card
holder.
CAUTION: Do not touch these connectors! If you do, you may release an electrical discharge that
could damage the modem or the SIM card.

[e-mail] | webdyn.com
V1.03 subject to changes | Webdyn © by Flexitron Group

• When designing your application, the SIM card’s accessibility should be taken into account. We
always recommend that you have the SIM card protected by a PIN code. This will ensure that
the SIM card cannot be used by an unauthorized person.
4. Antenna Precautions
If the antenna is to be mounted outside the device, consider the risk of lightning. Follow the instructions
provided by the antenna manufacturer.
• Never connect more than one modem to a single antenna. The modem can be damaged by
radio frequency energy from the transmitter of another modem.
• Like any mobile station, the antenna of the modem emits radio frequency energy. To avoid
EMI (electromagnetic interference), you must determine whether the application itself, or
equipment in the application’s proximity, needs further protection against radio emission and
the disturbances it might cause. Protection is secured either by shielding the surrounding
electronics or by moving the antenna away from the electronics and the external signal cable.
• The modem and antenna may be damaged if either of them come into contact with ground
potentials other than the one in your application. Beware: ground potentials are not always
what they appear to be.
5. Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure and SAR
Your wireless modem device is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver (transceiver). When it is turned
on, it emits low levels of radio frequency energy (also known as radio waves or radio frequency elds).
Governments around the world have adopted comprehensive international safety guidelines, developed by
scientic organizations such as ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection)
and IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.), through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientic studies. These guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave exposure for
the general population. The levels include a safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health, and to account for any variations in measurements.
Specic Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency energy
absorbed by the body when using a transceiver. The SAR value is determined at the highest certied
power level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level of the transceiver while operating can be
well below this value. This is because the transceiver is designed to use the minimum power required to
reach the network.
The MTX-StarEnergy-E wireless modem device has been approved for applications where the antenna is
located more than 20cm from the body of the user. In all other congurations the user is responsible for
meeting the local SAR regulations.
Users of the MTX-StarEnergy-E wireless modem device are responsible for ensuring that they meet the
SAR regulatory requirements of the countries in which they intend to operate the device and that their
documentation contains the relevant SAR declaration, certication information and user guidance as
appropriate.

6. Personal Medical Devices
Wireless modem devices may affect the operation of cardiac pacemakers, hearing aids and certain
other implanted equipment. If a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) is maintained between the
MTXGTW II-S modem radiating antenna and a pacemaker, the risk of interference is limited. If the user’s
application is likely to be situated in the vicinity of personnel, a suitable warning should be contained in
the equipment manual to this effect.
