Important Notice
Due to the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of data can never be guaranteed.
Data may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors) or be totally lost. Although significant delays or losses of
data are rare when wireless devices such as the router are used in a normal manner with a
well-constructed network, the router should not be used in situations where failure to transmit or receive
data could result in damage of any kind to the user or any other party, including but not limited to personal
injury, death, or loss of property. NOVUS accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from
delays or errors in data transmitted or received using the router, or for failure of the router to transmit or
receive such data.
Safety Precautions
General
The router generates radio frequency (RF) power. When using the router care must be taken on safety
issues related to RF interference as well as regulations of RF equipment.
Do not use your router in aircraft, hospitals, petrol stations or in places where using cellular products is
prohibited.
Be sure that the router will not be interfering with nearby equipment. For example: pacemakers or
medical equipment. The antenna of the router should be away from computers, office equipment,
home appliance, etc.
An external antenna must be connected to the router for proper operation. Only uses approved
antenna with the router. Please contact authorized distributor on finding an approved antenna.
Always keep the antenna with minimum safety distance of 26.6 cm or more from human body. Do not
put the antenna inside metallic box, containers, etc.
RF exposure statements
1. For mobile devices without co-location (the transmitting antenna is installed or located more than
20cm away from the body of user and nearby person)
FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement
1. This Transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
2. This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20
centimeters between the radiator and your body.
Note: Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while the aircraft is on the ground and the door is
open. Router may be used at this time.
Using the router in vehicle
Check for any regulation or law authorizing the use of cellular in vehicle in your country before
installing the router.
The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the route while in control of a vehicle.
Install the router by qualified personnel. Consult your vehicle distributor for any possible interference
of electronic parts by the router.
The router should be connected to the vehicle’s supply system by using a fuse-protected terminal in
the vehicle’s fuse box.
Be careful when the router is powered by the vehicle’s main battery. The battery may be drained after
extended period.
Protecting your router
To ensure error-free usage, please install and operate your router with care. Do remember the follow:

AirGate-3G
NOVUS AUTOM ATI ON 2/119
Do not expose the router to extreme conditions such as high humidity / rain, high temperatures, direct
sunlight, caustic / harsh chemicals, dust, or water.
Do not try to disassemble or modify the router. There is no user serviceable part inside and the
warranty would be void.
Do not drop, hit or shake the router. Do not use the router under extreme vibrating conditions.
Do not pull the antenna or power supply cable. Attach/detach by holding the connector.
Connect the router only according to the instruction manual. Failure to do it will void the warranty.
In case of problem, please contact authorized distributor.
