Introduction
This guide shows you how to set up your SMSFinder and how to send a
short message. For detailed information, product specifications, and
more, see the User Guide, available on the SMSFinder CD and the
Multi-Tech Web site.
Safety Warnings
Ethernet Port Caution
The Ethernet port is not designed to be connected to a Public
Telecommunications Network.
Handling Precautions
All devices must be handled with certain precautions to avoid damage
due to the accumulation of static charge. Although input protection
circuitry has been incorporated into the devices to minimize the effect of
this static build up, proper precautions should be taken to avoid
exposure to electrostatic discharge during handling and mounting.
Caution: Maintain a separation distance of at least 20 cm (8
inches) between the transmitter’s antenna and the body of the
user or nearby persons. The modem is not designed for, nor
intended to be, used in applications within 20 cm (8 inches) of the
body of the user.
