Handling Precautions
To avoid damage due to the accumulation of static charge, use proper precautions when handling any cellular device. Although input protection circuitry has been incorporated into the devices to minimize the effect of static build-up, use proper precautions to avoid exposure to electronic discharge during handling and mounting the device.
Radio Frequency (RF) Safety
Due to the possibility of radio frequency (RF) interference, it is important that you follow any special regulations regarding the use of radio equipment. Follow the safety advice given below.
Operating your device close to other electronic equipment may cause interference if the equipment is inadequately protected. Observe any warning signs and manufacturers' recommendations. Different industries and businesses restrict the use of cellular devices. Respect restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants, or where blasting operations are in process. Follow restrictions for any environment where you operate the device. Do not place the antenna outdoors. Switch OFF your wireless device when in an aircraft. Using portable electronic devices in an aircraft may endanger aircraft operation, disrupt the cellular network, and is illegal. Failing to observe this restriction may lead to suspension or denial of cellular services to the offender, legal action, or both. Switch OFF your wireless device when around gasoline or diesel-fuel pumps and before filling your vehicle with fuel. Switch OFF your wireless device in hospitals and any other place where medical equipment may be in use.
Sécurité relative aux appareils à radiofréquence (RF)
À cause du risque d'interférences de radiofréquence (RF), il est important de respecter toutes les réglementations spéciales relatives aux équipements radio. Suivez les conseils de sécurité ci-dessous.
Utiliser l'appareil à proximité d'autres équipements électroniques peut causer des interférences si les équipements ne sont pas bien protégés. Respectez tous les panneaux d'avertissement et les recommandations du fabricant. Certains secteurs industriels et certaines entreprises limitent l'utilisation des appareils cellulaires. Respectez ces restrictions relatives aux équipements radio dans les dépôts de carburant, dans les usines de produits chimiques, ou dans les zones où des dynamitages sont en cours. Suivez les restrictions relatives à chaque type d'environnement où vous utiliserez l'appareil. Ne placez pas l'antenne en extérieur. Éteignez votre appareil sans fil dans les avions. L'utilisation d'appareils électroniques portables en avion est illégale: elle peut fortement perturber le fonctionnement de l'appareil et désactiver le réseau cellulaires. S'il ne respecte pas cette consigne, le responsable peut voir son accès aux services cellulaires suspendu ou interdit, peut être poursuivi en justice, ou les deux. Éteignez votre appareil sans fil à proximité des pompes à essence ou de diesel avant de remplir le réservoir de votre véhicule de carburant.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Éteignez votre appareil sans fil dans les hôpitaux ou dans toutes les zones où des appareils médicaux sont susceptibles d'être utilisés.
Interference with Pacemakers and Other Medical Devices
Potential interference
Radio frequency energy (RF) from cellular devices can interact with some electronic devices. This is electromagnetic interference (EMI). The FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure EMI of implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from cellular devices. This test method is part of the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) standard. This standard allows manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from cellular device EMI.
The FDA continues to monitor cellular devices for interactions with other medical devices. If harmful interference occurs, the FDA will assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.
Precautions for pacemaker wearers
If EMI occurs, it could affect a pacemaker in one of three ways:
Stop the pacemaker from delivering the stimulating pulses that regulate the heart's rhythm. Cause the pacemaker to deliver the pulses irregularly. Cause the pacemaker to ignore the heart's own rhythm and deliver pulses at a fixed rate.
Based on current research, cellular devices do not pose a significant health problem for most pacemaker wearers. However, people with pacemakers may want to take simple precautions to be sure that their device doesn't cause a problem.
Keep the device on the opposite side of the body from the pacemaker to add extra distance between the pacemaker and the device. Avoid placing a turned-on device next to the pacemaker (for example, don't carry the device in a shirt or jacket pocket directly over the pacemaker).
Device Maintenance
Do not attempt to disassemble the device. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
When maintaining your device:
Do not misuse the device. Follow instructions on proper operation and only use as intended. Misuse could make the device inoperable, damage the device and/or other equipment, or harm users. Do not apply excessive pressure or place unnecessary weight on the device. This could result in damage to the device or harm to users. Do not use this device in explosive or hazardous environments unless the model is specifically approved for such use. The device may cause sparks. Sparks in explosive areas could cause explosion or fire and may result in property damage, severe injury, and/or death. Do not expose your device to any extreme environment where the temperature or humidity is high. Such exposure could result in damage to the device or fire. Refer to the device specifications regarding recommended operating temperature and humidity. Do not expose the device to water, rain, or spilled beverages. It is not waterproof. Exposure to liquids could result in damage to the device.

This device uses a cellular radio with dual carrier firmware meaning that it can be used on different carrier networks (not simultaneously). The device can be used on either the Verizon or AT&T/other networks. The device is configured for AT&T/others by default. The device is configured for Verizon by default. To check that your device is configured for the desired network:
AT#FWSWITCH? If response is: #FWSWITCH: 0 The device is configured for AT&T/other networks. If response is: #FWSWITCH: 1 The device is configured for Verizon.
To switch carrier networks: From AT&T to Verizon:
AT#FWSWITCH=1,1 From Verizon to AT&T:
AT#FWSWITCH=0,1
Note: For the Link status (LS) LED to function, you must issue the command AT#GPIO=1,0,2 any time you use the firmware switch command (AT#FWSWITCH=0 or AT#FWSWITCH=1).
