Becauseofthenatureofwireless communications,trans‐
missionandreceptionofdatacanneverbeguaranteed.Data
maybedelayed,corrupted(thatis,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 

Safety and hazards
ThemodemMUSTBEPOWEREDOFFinallareasthatmay
besusceptibletoradiointerference,inparticular:
• Prohibitedareas
Obeyallsignsandnoticesandfollowallrulesandregula‐
tions.Poweroffthemodemwheninstructedtodosoor
whenyoususpectthatitmaycauseinterferenceor
danger.
• Inareaswhereblastingisinprogress
• Whereexplosiveatmospheresmaybepresent
Areaswithapotentiallyexplosiveatmospherearenot
alwaysclearlymarked.Suchareasinclud egasstations,
fueldepots,chemicaltransferorstoragefacilities,areas
whereblastingisinprogress,areaswheretheaircontains
chemicalsorparticles
suchasgrain,dust,ormetalpow‐
ders,andanyotherareawhereyouwouldnormallybe
advisedtoturnoffyourcellularphoneorvehicleengine.
• Nearmedicalorlife‐supportequipment
Medicalequipmentmaybesusceptibletoanyformof
radiointerference.Insuchareasthemodemcantransmit
signalsthatcouldinterferewiththisequipment.
