Safety Information
This section outlines important liability and safety guidelines

Important Notice
Because of the nature of wireless communications, trans-
mission and reception of data can never be guaranteed. Data
may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors) or totally be lost.
Although significant delays or losses of data are rare when
wireless devices such as the PC Card-Model AirCard 580
CDMA modem are used in a normal manner with a well
constructed network, they should not be used in situations
where failure to transmit or receive data could result in
damage of any kind to the user or another party, including but
not limited to personal injury, death or loss of personal
property. No responsibility for damages of any kind resulting
from delays or errors in data transmitted or received using the
PC Card-Model AirCard 580 CDMA modem, or for failure of
the PC Card-Model AirCard 580 to transmit or receive such
data.
