SAFETY
FIRST
Please read all the safety notices before using this
device.
Do not use the Telstra Mobile Wi-Fi 4G near fuel or
chemicals or in any prescribed areas such as service
stations, reneries, hospitals, and aircraft. Obey all
warning signs where posted.
RADIO FREQUENCY SAFETY INFORMATION
The Telstra Mobile Wi-Fi 4G has an internal antenna.
For optimum performance with minimum power
consumption, do not shield the device or cover with
any object. Covering the antenna affects signal quality,
and may cause the Telstra Mobile Wi-Fi 4G to operate
at a higher power level than needed, and may shorten
battery life.
RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY
Your Telstra Mobile Wi-Fi 4G is a low-power radio
transmitter and receiver. When switched on it
intermittently transmits radio frequency (RF) energy
(radio waves). The transmit power level is optimised
for best performance and automatically reduces
when there is good reception. Maximum power is only
used at the edge of network coverage so under most
circumstances, the power output is very low. Under
poor network conditions the Telstra Mobile Wi-Fi 4G
transmits at a higher power, may get hot and have
signicantly shorter battery life.
