- Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly marked. Potential locations can include gas
stations, below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or
butane), areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders, and any other area where you
would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Near Medical and life support equipment.
- Do not operate your PCI module in any area where medical equipment, life support equipment, or near any equipment that may
be susceptible to any form of radio interference. In such areas, the host communications PCI module must be turned off. The
PCI module may transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment.
On an aircraft, either on the ground or airborne.
- In addition to FAA requirements, many airline regulations state that you must suspend wireless operations before boarding an
airplane. Please ensure that the host PCI module is turned off and your PCI module is removed from the card slot prior to
boarding aircraft in order to comply with these regulations. The PCI module can transmit signals that could interfere with
various onboard systems and controls.
While operating a vehicle.
- The driver or mobile network operator of any vehicle should not operate a wireless data device while in control of a vehicle.
Doing so will detract from the driver or mobile network operator’s control and operation of that vehicle. In some countries,
operating such communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offense.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).
- Electrical and electronic devices are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). The Connection Manager will attempt to
reinitialize the PCI module should a substantial electrostatic discharge reset the PCI module. If the software is not operational
after an ESD occurrence, then restart the PCI module.
