Emergency Calls
Please contact your service provider for the
information about the availability of Emergency
Calls.
The MOBICARD M88 supports Emergency Calls
with or without a SIM card inserted. However the
M88 must be plugged into a computer or handheld
device, 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 M88 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.
M88 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 or handheld device. The
M88 derives its power from the computer or
handheld power supply. 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 M88 radiates radio frequency signals in the 900
MHz and 1800 MHz frequency bands.
The following recommendations are in line with
guidelines concerning public exposure to radio
frequency electromagnetic energy, issued by various
European and International agencies.
Unlike a mobile phone the transmitter on the M88
would not normally be used close to the head and
therefore high field strength is not usually
encountered. Using the M88 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 M88, while the M88 is operating.

as other customer information.
Your SIM card must be enabled for all of the
services you want to use, such as Voice, Data, and
GPRS.
To insert the SIM card:

accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. Is this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the
unit off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
 Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
 Increase the separation between the
equipment and the receiver.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is a value that
corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy
absorbed by the user of a wireless device. The
Federal Communications Commission of the United
States Government sets SAR limits. The maximum
allowed SAR value of 1.6W/kg allows for a
substantial safety margin, designed to assure the
safety of all persons. Tests for SAR values are
conducted using FCC approved operating positions
at the highest possible power levels. The actual
SAR value while using this device is likely to be
well below the maximum value.
The highest reported SAR levels for this wireless
PCMCIA card are in full compliance with the FCC
limits. SAR compliance is limited to the accessories
shipped with this product.
