Foreword
Introduction
This document describes the hardware of the TRICASCADE® SG500M2-X 5G M.2 Module products. It helps you quickly retrieve interface specifications, electrical and mechanical details, and information on the requirements to be considered for integrating further components.
Safety Information
The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, such as usage, service or repair of any cellular terminal or mobile incorporating with SG500M2-X 5G M.2 Module. Manufacturers of the cellular terminal should send the following safety information to users and operating personnel, and incorporate these guidelines into all manuals supplied with the product. If not so, TRICASCADE assumes no liability for customers’ failure to comply with these precautions.
Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to reduce the risk of an accident. Using a mobile while driving (even with a hands free kit) causes distraction and can lead to an accident. Please comply with laws and regulations restricting the use of wireless devices while driving.
Switch off the cellular terminal or mobile before boarding an aircraft. The operation of wireless appliances in an aircraft is forbidden to prevent interference with communication systems. If the device offers an Airplane Mode, then it should be enabled prior to boarding an aircraft.Please consult the airline staff for more restrictions on the use of wireless devices on boarding the aircraft.
Wireless devices may cause interference on sensitive medical equipment, so please be aware of the restrictions on the use of wireless devices when in hospitals, clinics or other healthcare facilities.
Cellular terminals or mobiles operating over radio signals and cellular network cannot be guaranteed to connect in all possible conditions (for example, with unpaid bills or with an invalid (U) SIM card). When emergent help is needed in such conditions, please remember using emergency call. In order to make or receive a call, the cellular terminal or mobile must be switched on in a service area with adequate cellular signal strength.
The cellular terminal or mobile contains a transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and transmits radio frequency signals. RF interference can occur if it is used close to TV set, radio, computer or other electric equipment.
In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all posted signs to turn off wireless devices such as your phone or other cellular terminals. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fueling areas, below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal powders, etc.
