                                                                                                   Preface



Important        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
Notice           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 limited to personal injury,
                 death, or loss of property. Sierra Wireless accepts no responsibility for damages
                 of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or received using
                 the Sierra Wireless modem, or for failure of the Sierra Wireless modem to
                 transmit or receive such data.


Safety and       Do not operate the Sierra Wireless modem in areas where blasting is in progress,
                 where explosive atmospheres may be present, near medical equipment, near life
Hazards
                 support equipment, or any equipment which may be susceptible to any form of
                 radio interference. In such areas, the Sierra Wireless modem MUST BE
                 POWERED OFF. The Sierra Wireless modem can transmit signals that could
                 interfere with this equipment.
                 Do not operate the Sierra Wireless modem in any aircraft, whether the aircraft is
                 on the ground or in flight. In aircraft, the Sierra Wireless modem MUST BE
                 POWERED OFF. When operating, the Sierra Wireless modem can transmit
                 signals that could interfere with various onboard systems.

                 Note: Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while the aircraft is on the
                 ground and the door is open. Sierra Wireless modems may be used at this time.


                 The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the Sierra Wireless
                 modem while in control of a vehicle. Doing so will detract from the driver or
                 operator's control and operation of that vehicle. In some states and provinces,
                 operating such communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offence.

                 represent a commitment on the part of Sierra Wireless. SIERRA WIRELESS AND

                 LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS OR REVENUE
                 ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE ANY SIERRA WIRELESS
                 PRODUCT, EVEN IF SIERRA 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 Sierra Wireless and/or its
                 affiliates aggregate liability arising under or in connection with the Sierra 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 Sierra Wireless
                 product.

                     This chapter provides suggestions for troubleshooting problems that
                     may arise when using your mobile hotspot.


                     Reset the Mobile Hotspot
                     You can reset the Mobile hotspot to the factory setting on the device.
                     This is useful if you have lost your Wi-Fi Passphrase.

                     To reset the mobile hotspot on the device:
                     1. On the touchscreen, tap Settings > Software > Factory Reset.
                     2. Follow the instructions that appear.
                     3. After the device has reset, reconnect Wi-Fi devices.


                     Alerts
                     Temperature-related alerts
                     The mobile hotspot is designed to work over a wide temperature
                     range. (See Environmental Specifications on page 23 for details.)
                     The mobile hotspot will shut down automatically if it goes out of the
                     supported temperature range.
                     Move the device to an area where the temperature is more suitable
                     and, if the mobile hotspot is too warm, make sure the area is well-
                     ventilated and air can circulate around the device.

                     Note: The battery may not recharge if the mobile hotspot is outside the
                     operating temperature range.

          6: Regulatory and Safety Information                                                    6
                     Notice
                     Because of the nature of wireless communications, transmission 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
                     AirCard 770S Mobile Hotspot are used in a normal manner with a
                     well-constructed network, the AirCard 770S Mobile Hotspot 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.
                     Sierra Wireless and its affiliates accept no responsibility for damages
                     of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or
                     received using the AirCard 770S Mobile Hotspot, or for failure of the
                     AirCard 770S Mobile Hotspot to transmit or receive such data.


                     Safety and Hazards
                     The 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 inter-
                         ference. In such areas the mobile hotspot can transmit signals
                         that could interfere with this equipment.
                     •   On board aircraft
                         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 com-
                            munications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offence.

                        Caution: Unauthorized modifications or changes not expressly approved by Sierra
                        Wireless, Inc. could void compliance with regulatory rules, and thereby your authority to
                        use this device.



                        Proper Battery Use and Disposal

                        Note: Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard.


                        To ensure safe and responsible battery use:
