Safety Precautions
The modem generates radio frequency (RF) power. When using the modem care must be taken
on safety issues related to RF interference as well as regulations of RF equipment.
Do not use your phone in aircraft, hospitals, petrol stations or in places where using GSM
products is prohibited.
Be sure that the modem will not be interfering with nearby equipment. For example: pacemakers or medical equipment. The antenna of the modem should be away from computers, office
equipment, home appliance, etc.
Always keep the antenna with minimum safety distance of 26.6 cm or more from human body.
Do not put the antenna inside metallic box, containers, etc.
Using the modem in vehicle
Check for any regulation or law authorizing the use of GSM in vehicle in your country before
installing the modem
Install the modem by qualified personnel. Consult your vehicle dealer for any possible interference of electronic parts by the modem.

Optional Battery (880mAH)
The battery provides an automatic backup supply to continue normal operation when power
fails.
The battery is recharged and maintained when power is present
Battery life depends on many parameters however as a theoretical guideline, battery life will
be;
2 years on continuous standby
2 hours on continuous GPRS Data communication
4 hours on continuous conversation state
Somewhere in between in practice!

Battery
Optional External Antenna
Using an external antenna can provide a better signal reception than the internal antenna.
Unplug the Antenna Connection. Use Cable adaptor CBA-UFLSMA-1 to provide an SMA
Bulkhead connector into which many alternative GSM antennas may connect
