1 Warnings and Precautions
Before using HUAWEI Fixed Wireless Terminal (hereinafter referred to FWT),
please read the following cautions and let your children know these, so that you
can use your FWT correctly and safely.
Basic Cautions
According to the packing list, check items in the package box to make sure they
are complete and undamaged.
Before installing and using FWT, read the user manual carefully.
Electronic Device
Switch your FWT off near high-precision electronic devices. The FWT may
affect the performance of these devices.
Such devices include hearing aids, pacemakers, fire alarm systems, automatic
gates, and other automatic-control devices. If you are using an electronic medical
device, consult the device manufacturer and confirm whether the radio wave
affects the operation of this electronic device.
Hospital
Pay attention to the following points in hospitals or health care facilities:
yDo not take your FWT into the operating room (OR), intensive care unit (ICU), or
coronary care unit (CCU).
ySwitch your FWT off near medial devices.
yObserve any instructions wherever the use of wireless device is prohibited.
Traffic Safety
yDo not use your FWT while driving. Secure the FWT on its holder. Do not place the
FWT on the seat or other places where it can get loose in a sudden stop or collision.
yObserve the rules and regulations of airline companies. Switch your FWT off before
boarding an aircraft.

4
Operating Environment
yDo not place magnetic storage media such as magnetic cards and floppy disks near the
FWT. Radiation from the FWT may erase the information stored on them.
yDo not put your FWT, battery, or other accessories in containers with strong magnetic
field, such as the induction cooker and microwave oven. Otherwise, circuit failure, fire,
or explosion may result.
yDo not leave your FWT, battery, or power adapter in a high-temperature place or use
them in a place with flammable gas. Otherwise, malfunction of the products, fire, or
explosion may result.
yBecause FWT needs to eliminate heat during working, put the FWT and the power
supply in a ventilated and shadowy place. Never airproof the FWT or put something on it
or place it near water, fire as well as inflammable and explosive materials.
yBecause FWT contains precision devices, you should put it in a dry place and away from
moist materials.
yBefore cleaning FWT, please turn off the FWT, and then disconnect the power supply
and take out the battery. Before moving FWT, please disconnect the external power
supply
yDo not subject your FWT, battery, and power adapter to serious collision or shock.
Otherwise, battery leakage, FWT malfunction, overheats, fire, or explosion may result.
yDo not place sharp metal objects such as pins near the earpiece. The earpiece may attract
these objects and hurt you when you are using the FWT.
yDo not place the FWT in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area.
Otherwise, the FWT may hurt you owing to the strong force when the air bag inflates.
yPut your FWT, battery, and power adapter in places beyond the reach of children. Do not
allow children to use the FWT, battery, or power adapter without guidance.
yDo not touch the antenna when a call is going on. Touching the antenna may affect call
quality and cause the FWT to operate at a power level higher than needed.
yThe network signal condition will directly affect the quality and stability of the call.
Consequently, you should place FWT in a place where it can receive network signal well.
Do not put FWT in a building with an iron or metal roof. The distance between FWT and
other metal materials (such as metal brackets or metal doors and windows) should be
greater than 25cm and the distance between FWTs should be greater than 30cm.
yDo not open the chassis in any case and the device should be maintained by a qualified
maintenance department.
yWithout permission, you are not allowed to modify the architecture and security design
of FWT. You must bear any consequence resulted from the operation without permission
yYour FWT is designed to conform to the authoritative international radio frequency (RF)
specifications. Use FWT accessories approved by Huawei only.
yThe antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance
of at least 20cm from all persons.
Emergency Call
You can use your FWT for emergency calls. However, connections in all
conditions cannot be guaranteed. You should never rely solely on the FWT for

Table 1-5 5
essential communications.
Battery
yIf the battery fluid gets into eyes, do not rub them. Wash with clean water and seek
medical assistance immediately.
yIf the battery fluid contacts skin or cloth, wash with clean water immediately to avoid
irritation to the skin.
yDo not dispose of the battery in fire. Otherwise, the battery may ignite or explode.
yWhen installing the battery on your FWT, do not push the battery by force lest battery
fluid leak out or the battery crack.
yDo not connect two poles of the battery with metallic materials such as cables.
yDo not disassemble the battery or solder the battery poles. Otherwise fluid leakage,
overheat, fire, or explosion may result.
yIf there is battery leakage, smoke, or strange smell, stop using the battery and keep it
away from open flame to avoid fire or explosion.
yDisconnect the power adapter and take out the spare battery when FWT is not used for a
long time.
yDo select its self-contained complete battery and power adapter, otherwise, FWT may be
spoiled. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions
yDispose of the battery according to local laws or regulations.
Power Adapter
yUse AC power as specified for the power adapter. Any violation of this rule may result in
fire or malfunction of the power adapter.
yDo not short-circuit the power adapter. Short-circuiting the power adapter may cause fire
or malfunction of the power adapter.
yRemove the dust on the power plug regularly.
yDo not use worn-out power cords. Otherwise, electric shock, short-circuiting of the
power adapter, or fire may result.
yDo not put the power adapter near the container filled with liquid such as water. If the
liquid comes into the power adapter, electrical leakage or other faults may result.
yIf the liquid such as water comes into the power adapter accidentally, remove the plug of
the power adapter from the socket immediately.
yDisconnect the power adapter from the socket before cleaning or maintaining it.
Otherwise, electric shock or short-circuiting of the battery or power adapter may result.
yEnsure the plug of the power adapter is properly inserted into the power socket when
charging the battery. Improper insertion may result in electric shock, fire, or explosion.
yDo not place any heavy object on the power cord of the power adapter. Do not damage,
change, or pluck the power cord.
