Important

Notice Due to the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of data

can never be guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors) or be

totally lost. Although significant delays or losses of data are rare when wireless

devices such as the Sierra Wireless AirLink MP are used in a normal manner with

a well-constructed network, the Sierra Wireless AirLink MP should not be used in

situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any

kind to the user or any other party, including but not limited to personal injury,

death, or loss of property. Sierra Wireless accepts no responsibility for damages

of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or received using

the Sierra Wireless AirLink MP, or for failure of the Sierra Wireless AirLink MP to

transmit or receive such data.

Safety and

Hazards Do not operate the Sierra Wireless AirLink MP in areas where blasting is in

progress, where explosive atmospheres may be present, near medical

equipment, near life support equipment, or any equipment which may be

susceptible to any form of radio interference. In such areas, the Sierra Wireless

AirLink MP MUST BE POWERED OFF. The Sierra Wireless AirLink MP can

transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment.

Do not operate the Sierra Wireless AirLink MP in any aircraft, whether the aircraft

is on the ground or in flight. In aircraft, the Sierra Wireless AirLink MP MUST BE

POWERED OFF. When operating, the Sierra Wireless AirLink MP can transmit

signals that could interfere with various onboard systems.

Note: Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while the aircraft is on the

ground and the door is open. Sierra Wireless AirLink MP may be used at this time.

The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the Sierra Wireless

AirLink MP while in control of a vehicle. Doing so will detract from the driver or

operator's control and operation of that vehicle. In some states and provinces,

operating such communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offence.

Limitation of

Liability The information in this manual is subject to change without notice and does not

represent a commitment on the part of Sierra Wireless. SIERRA WIRELESS AND

ITS AFFILIATES SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL

DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, GENERAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL,

PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,

LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS OR REVENUE

ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE ANY SIERRA WIRELESS

PRODUCT, EVEN IF SIERRA WIRELESS AND/OR ITS AFFILIATES HAS BEEN

ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR THEY ARE

FORESEEABLE OR FOR CLAIMS BY ANY THIRD PARTY.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Sierra Wireless and/or its

affiliates aggregate liability arising under or in connection with the Sierra Wireless

product, regardless of the number of events, occurrences, or claims giving rise to

liability, be in excess of the price paid by the purchaser for the Sierra Wireless

product.
