Do not rely on this device for emergency communicationsOnly use approved accessoriesDo not try and disassembleAvoid contact with liquid, keep dryDo not to use this device whilst walking across a road or cyclingAvoid Extreme TemperaturesRF ExposureYour device contains a radio transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives and transmits RF energy. When your device is in use, the system handling your connection controls the power level at which your device transmits.Specic Absorption Rate (SAR)Your wireless device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organisation ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specic Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for wireless devices is 2 W/kg. The highest SAR value for this device when tested complied with this limit.Product Safety InformationPlease read this safety information before you use the device.

The highest SAR value reported to the FCC for this device type was compliant with this limit.This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.Caution: Changes or modications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: •Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.Safety ManualVodafone Mobile Wi-FiDistractionDrivingFull attention must be given to driving at all times in order to reduce the risk of an accident.
