(for Information Only)
see if you may change the antenna yourself. If so, use only a manufacturer-approved antenna.
Otherwise, have your antenna repaired by a qualified technician.
Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications or attachments
could damage the terminal and may contravene local RF emission regulations or invalidate type
approval.
22.2. General Safety
22.2.1. Driving
Check the laws and the regulations regarding the use of cellular devices in the area where you have
to drive as you always have to comply with them. When using your GSM terminal while driving,
please:
give full attention to driving,
pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.
22.2.2. Electronic Devices
Most electronic equipment, for example in hospitals and motor vehicles, is shielded from RF energy.
However, RF energy may affect some improperly shielded electronic equipment.
22.2.3. Vehicle Electronic Equipment
Check your vehicle manufacturer representative to determine if any on-board electronic equipment is
adequately shielded from RF energy.
22.2.4. Medical Electronic Equipment
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as pacemakers, hearing aids, etc...)
to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy.
Turn your terminal OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in the area instruct you to
do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using RF monitoring equipment.
22.2.5. Aircraft
Turn your terminal OFF before boarding any aircraft.
Use it on the ground only with crew permission.
Do not use it in the air.
To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use your terminal while the aircraft
is on the ground. To prevent interference with cellular systems, local RF regulations prohibit using
your modem while airborne.
