Important notice
This device, like any wireless device, operates using radio signals which cannot guarantee the
transmission and reception of data in all conditions. While the delay or loss of signal is rare, you
should not rely solely on any wireless device for emergency communications or otherwise use
the device in situations where the interruption of data connectivity could lead to death,
personal injury, property damage, data loss, or other loss. NetComm Wireless accepts no
responsibility for any loss or damage resulting from errors or delays in transmission or
reception, or the failure of the CloudMesh Satellite to transmit or receive such data.
