User Guide NetComm Hotspot Dock (NHD1W) 2400164 Rev 1 2 2400164 NHD1W User Guide Preface Rev 1 Feb. 2012 3 Important Notice Due to the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of data can never be guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors) or be totally lost. Although significant delays or losses of data are rare when wireless devices such as the NetComm Wireless NHD1W are used in a normal manner with a well-constructed network, the NetComm Wireless NHD1W 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 limited to personal injury, death, or loss of property. NetComm Wireless accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or received using the NetComm Wireless NHD1W, or for failure of the NetComm Wireless NHD1W to transmit or receive such data. Safety and Product Care of NHD1W With reference to unpacking, installation, use and maintenance of your electronic device, the following basic guidelines are recommended: Do not use or install this product near water to avoid fire or shock hazard. For example, do not use or install this product near a bathtub, kitchen sink, laundry tub, or near a swimming pool. Also, do not expose the equipment to rain or damp areas (for example a wet basement). Do not connect the power supply cord on elevated surfaces. Allow it to lie freely. There should be no obstructions in its path and no heavy items should be placed on the cord. In addition, do not walk on, step on or mistreat the cord. Warning : Disconnect the power line from the device before servicing. To safeguard the equipment against overheating, make sure that all openings in the unit that offer exposure to air are unobstructed. Safety and Hazards of AirCard Mobile Hotspot The AirCard mobile hotspot 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 regulations. Power off the mobile hotspot 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 include 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 powders, 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 mobile hotspot can transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment. On board aircraft 4 2400164 NHD1W User Guide In addition to Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) requirements, many airline regulations state that you must suspend wireless operations before boarding an aircraft. The mobile hotspot is capable of transmitting signals that could interfere with various onboard systems and controls. Failure to observe this instruction may lead to suspension or denial of cellular telephone services to the offender, legal action, or both. Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while the aircraft is on the ground and the door is open. The mobile hotspot may be used normally at this time. While operating a vehicle The driver or operator of any vehicle should not use a wireless data device while in control of a vehicle. Doing so detracts from the driver or operator's ability to control and operate the vehicle. In some countries, using such communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offence. Caution: Unauthorized modifications or changes not expressly approved by NetComm Wireless, Inc. could void compliance with regulatory rules, and thereby your authority to use this device. Limitation of Liability The information in this manual is subject to change without notice and does not represent a commitment on the part of NetComm Wireless. NETCOMM WIRELESS AND ITS AFFILIATES SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, GENERAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS OR REVENUE ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE ANY NETCOMM WIRELESS PRODUCT, EVEN IF NETCOMM WIRELESS AND/OR ITS AFFILIATES HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR THEY ARE FORESEEABLE OR FOR CLAIMS BY ANY THIRD PARTY. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall NetComm Wireless and/or its affiliates aggregate liability arising under or in connection with the NetComm Wireless product, regardless of the number of events, occurrences, or claims giving rise to liability, be in excess of the price paid by the purchaser for the NetComm Wireless product.
