Regulatory Information
Safety Notices
Do not operate your device in any area where medical equipment, life support
equipment, or near any equipment that may be susceptible to any form of
radio interference. In such areas, the host communications device must be
turned o. The MiFi may transmit signals that could interfere with this
equipment.
On an aircraft, either on the ground or airborne
In addition to FAA requirements, many airline regulations state that you must
suspend wireless operations before boarding an airplane. Please ensure that
both MiFi and the host device are turned o and that the MiFi USB Cable is
removed from the USB ports prior to boarding aircraft in order to comply with
these regulations. MiFi can transmit signals that could interfere with various
onboard systems and controls.

The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate a wireless data device
while in control of a vehicle. Doing so will detract from the driver or operator's
control and operation of that vehicle. In some countries, operating such
communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an oense.

• Never leave the device in an unattended vehicle due to uncontrollable tempera-
tures that may be outside the desired temperature for this device.
