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 modem are used in a normal manner with a well-constructed

network, the Sierra Wireless modem 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 modem, or for failure

of the Sierra Wireless modem to transmit or receive such data.

Safety and

Hazards

Do not operate the Sierra Wireless modem 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 modem MUST BE IN AIRPLANE

MODE OR POWERED OFF. The Sierra Wireless modem can transmit signals that

could interfere with this equipment.

Do not operate the Sierra Wireless modem in any aircraft, whether the aircraft is on

the ground or in flight. In aircraft, the Sierra Wireless modem MUST BE IN

AIRPLANE MODE OR POWERED OFF. When operating, the Sierra Wireless modem

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 modems may be used at this time.

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

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.
