RF EXP OSUR E AND EL ECTR ICAL S AFETY
The use of this modem in any other type of host configuration that may not comply with
the RF exposure requirements should be avoided. During operation, a minimum of 20 cm
(8 inches) should be maintained between the antenna, whether extended or retracted,
and the user’s/bystander’s body (excluding hands, wrists, feet, and ankles) to ensure RF
exposure compliance in accordance with ARPANSA guidelines. The modem is not
designed, nor intended, for use in applications within 20 cm (8 inches) of the body of the
user. Continued operational compliance of the modem relies upon it being used with
an AS/NZS 60950.1 approved SELV power supply.
Cautions
This modem has been tested and found to comply with the limits pursuant to relevant
ACMA Standards. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in an appropriate installation. This modem generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not used in accordance with instructions, can
cause detrimental interference to other radio communication networks and devices.
Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could impair performance, damage the modem, or result in violation of RF
exposure regulations.
There is no guarantee that electromagnetic interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If the modem does cause detrimental interference in radio and television
reception, which can be verified by turning the modem on and off, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
▪ Re-orient or relocate the receiving radio or TV antenna
▪ Increase the separation between the modem and the receiver
▪ Contact RF Industries Maxon Technical Support for assistance.

Changes or modifications to the modem that are implemented without the express
consent of RF Industries Pty. Ltd. void the product warranty and terminate the user’s
authority to use the modem.

General Safety
RF Interference Issues: Avoid possible radio frequency (RF) interference by carefully
following safety guidelines below:
▪ Switch OFF the modem when in an aircraft. The use of cellular devices in an
aircraft is illegal. It may endanger the operation of the aircraft and/or disrupt the
cellular network. Failure to observe this instruction may lead to suspension or
denial of cellular services to the offender, legal action, orboth.
▪ Switch OFF the modem in the vicinity of gasoline or diesel fuel pumps or before
filling a vehicle with fuel.
▪ Switch OFF the modem in hospitals and any other places where medical
equipment may be in use.
▪ Respect restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical
plants, or in areas of blasting operations.
▪ There may be hazards associated with the operation of your modem in the
vicinity of inadequately protected personal medical devices such as hearing aids
and pacemakers. Please consult the manufacturers of the medical device to
determine if it is adequately protected.
▪ Operation of the modem in the vicinity of other electronic equipment may cause
interference to the equipment if it is inadequately protected. Observe any
warning signs and manufacturers’ recommendations.
▪ The modem contains sensitive electronic circuitry. Do not expose the modem to
any liquids, high temperatures or shock. The modem is not waterproof. Please
keep it dry and store it in a cool, dry place.
▪ Only use original accessories or accessories that are authorized by the
manufacturer. Using unauthorized accessories may affect your modem’s
performance, damage your modem and violate related national regulations.
▪ Always handle the modem with care. There are no user serviceable parts inside
the modem. Unauthorised dismantling or repair of the modem will void the
warranty.

NOTE:
* The product needs to be supplied by a limited power source or the power
supply provided. Otherwise, safety will not be ensured.
* Do not affix the modem in an open area where it is liable to lightning-strike
hazard.
Vehicle Safety
▪ Do not use the modem whilst driving.
▪ Respect national regulations on the use of cellular devices in vehicles. Road safety
always comes first.
▪ If incorrectly installed in a vehicle, the operation of the modem could interfere
with the correct functioning of vehicle electronics. To avoid such problems, ensure
that the installation has been carried out by qualified personnel.
▪ Verification of the protection and interference-free performance of vehicle
electronics should be a part of the installation procedure
Potentially Unsafe Areas
Posted Facilities: Turn off the modem in any facility or area when posted notices require
you to do so.
Blasting Areas: Turn off the modem where blasting is in progress. Observe restrictions and
follow any regulations or rules.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres: Turn off the modem when you are in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere. Obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas
could cause an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly marked.

They include:
▪ Fuelling areas such as gas or petrol stations
▪ Below deck on boats
▪ Transfer or storage facilities for fuel or chemicals
▪ Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas, such as propane or butane
▪ Areas when the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal
powders
▪ Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off machinery of
any kind
Concentrated Electromagnetic Activity: Avoid using the modem within areas of high
electromagnetic wave activity or within enclosed metallic structures e.g. lifts.
