1.1. Safety Information   
 
The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, such as usage, service 
or  repair  of  any  cellular  terminal  or  mobile  incorporating  EM120R-GL&EM160R-GL  modules. 
Manufacturers of the cellular terminal should notify users and operating personnel of the following safety 
information  by  incorporating  these  guidelines  into  all  manuals  of  the  product.  Otherwise,  Quectel 
assumes no liability for customers’ failure to comply with these precautions. 
 
Full attention must be paid to driving at all times in order to reduce the risk of an 
accident.  Using  a  mobile  while  driving  (even  with  a  handsfree  kit)  causes 
distraction and can lead to an accident. Please comply with laws and regulations 
restricting the use of wireless devices while driving. 
Switch off the cellular terminal or mobile before boarding an aircraft. The operation 
of  wireless  appliances  in  an  aircraft  is  forbidden  to  prevent  interference  with 
communication systems. If there is an Airplane Mode, it should be enabled prior to 
boarding an aircraft. Please consult the airline staff for more restrictions on the use 
of wireless devices on an aircraft.  
Wireless  devices  may  cause  interference  on  sensitive  medical  equipment,  so 
please  be  aware  of  the  restrictions  on  the  use  of  wireless  devices  when  in 
hospitals, clinics or other healthcare facilities.   
Cellular terminals  or  mobiles  operating  over  radio signals  and  cellular  network 
cannot  be guaranteed  to  connect  in  all possible conditions  (for  example,  with 
unpaid bills or with an invalid (U)SIM card). When emergent help is needed in such 
conditions,  use  emergency call.  In order  to make  or receive  a call, the cellular 
terminal or mobile must be switched on in a service area with adequate cellular 
signal strength. 
The cellular terminal or mobile contains a transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it 
receives and transmits radio frequency signals. RF interference can occur if it is 
used close to TV set, radio, computer or other electric equipment. 
In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all posted signs to turn 
off wireless devices such as mobile phone or other cellular terminals. Areas with 
potentially explosive atmospheres include fueling areas, below decks on boats, 
fuel  or  chemical  transfer  or  storage  facilities,  areas  where  the  air  contains 
chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal powders.
