Emergency Calls
Please contact your service provider for the
information about the availability of Emergency
Calls.
The MOBICARD M88i supports Emergency Calls
with or without a SIM card inserted. However the
M88 must be plugged into a computer, powered
up and have a headset plugged into it. If you are
outside the coverage are of a GSM network, then
Emergency Calls will not work. Do not rely on the
M88i as your sole means of contacting Emergency
Services.
The procedure for generating an Emergency Call
will depend on the application/service currently in
use and the network you are connected to. It is
recommended that you familiarize yourself with
the appropriate procedures required to generate
an Emergency Call. When connected to an
Emergency Operator, you should have details of
your
telephone number and location on hand.
M88i Safety Information
The M88 is designed to operate only when
plugged into a PCMCIA Type II PC card slot,
within the confines of a computer. The M88i
derives its power from the computer. Operation
outside this environment, and/or with an
alternative power supply, may infringe the type
approval granted for this product, as well as
potentially voiding the safety advice given
below, and consequently should not be
undertaken.
The correct installation procedure for the card
must be adhered to at all times. The module
operates at SELV limits, and it is the installer's
responsibility to make sure that all hazardous
voltages have been isolated from the SELV
circuitry, and that all safety requirements have
been met to the appropriate standards.

Further, it is the installers responsibility to ensure
that the safety isolation barriers of the intended
host equipment are not compromised by the
installation of the card.
The M88i radiates radio frequency signals in the
1900 MHz frequency band.
Unlike a mobile phone the transmitter on the M88i
would not normally be used close to the head and
therefore high field strength is not usually
encountered. Using the M88i is similar to using a
mobile with a handsfree kit. However, take care to
avoid placing any part of your body in proximity to
the antenna on the M88i, while the M88i is
operating.
