Regulations and safety notices

FCC statement

This device 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 device 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 device does cause harmful interference to radio or television 

reception, which can be determined by turning the device 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 device and receiver.

•

Connect the device into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which 

the receiver is connected.

•

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help.

Notice: Shielded cables

All connections to other computing devices must be made using shielded cables 

to maintain compliance with FCC regulations.

Notice: Peripheral devices

Only peripherals (input/output devices, terminals, printers, etc.) certified to 

comply with the Class B limits may be attached to this equipment. Operation 

with non-certified peripherals is likely to result in interference to radio and TV 

reception.

Caution

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could 

void the user's authority, which is granted by the Federal Communications 

Commission, to operate this computer.

Notice: Canadian users

TBR 21

This equipment has been approved [Council Decision 98/482/EC - "TBR 21"] for 

single terminal connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). 

However, due to differences between the individual PSTNs provided in different 

countries, the approval does not, of itself, give an unconditional assurance of 

successful operation on every PSTN termination point. In the event of problems, 

you should contact your equipment supplier in the first instance. For more 

information about applicable countries, please refer to "Regulations and safety 

notices" on page 37

Notice for Australia

For safety reasons, only connect headsets with a telecommunications 

compliance label. This includes customer equipment previously labelled 

permitted or certified.

Notice for New Zealand

1

The grant of a Telepermit for any item of terminal equipment indicates 

only that Telecom has accepted that the item complies with minimum 

conditions for connection to its network. It indicates no endorsement of 

the product by Telecom, nor does it provide any sort of warranty. Above 

all, it provides no assurance that any item will work correctly in all respects 

with another item of Telepermitted equipment of a different make or 

model, nor does it imply that any product is compatible with all of 

Telecom's network services.

2

This equipment is not capable, under all operating conditions, of correct 

operation at the higher speeds for which it is designed. Telecom will accept 

no responsibility should difficulties arise in such circumstances.

3

Some parameters required for compliance with Telecom's Telepermit 

requirements are dependent on the equipment (PC) associated with this 

device. The associated equipment shall be set to operate within the 

following limits for compliance with Telecom's Specifications:

a

There shall be no more than 10 call attempts to the same number 

within any 30 minute period for any single manual call initiation, and

b

The equipment shall go on-hook for a period of not less than 30 

seconds between the end of one attempt and the beginning of the 

next call attempt.

4

Some parameters required for compliance with Telecom's Telepermit 

requirements are dependent on the equipment (PC) associated with this 

device. In order to operate within the limits for compliance with Telecom's 

specifications, the associated equipment shall be set to ensure that 

automatic calls to different numbers are spaced such that there is not less 

than 5 seconds between the end of one call attempt and the beginning 

of another.

40

English

5

This equipment shall not be set up to make automatic calls to Telecom's 

111 Emergency Service.

6

This device is equipped with pulse dialing while the Telecom standard is 

DTMF tone dialing. There is no guarantee that Telecom lines will always 

continue to support pulse dialing.

7

Use of pulse dialing, when this equipment is connected to the same line as 

other equipment, may give rise to bell tinkle or noise and may also cause a 

false answer condition. Should such problems occur, the user should NOT 

contact the telecom Fault Service.

8

This equipment may not provide for the effective hand-over of a call to 

another device connected to the same line.

9

Under power failure conditions this appliance may not operate. Please 

ensure that a separate telephone, not dependent on local power, is 

available for emergency use.

LCD pixel statement

The LCD unit is produced with high-precision manufacturing techniques. 

Nevertheless, some pixels may occasionally misfire or appear as black or 

red dots. This has no effect on the recorded image and does not constitute 

a malfunction.

The FCC RF safety requirement

The radiated output power of the wireless LAN Mini PCI Card and Bluetooth 

card is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the 

notebook PC series shall be used in such a manner that the potential for human 

contact during normal operation is minimized as follows:

1

Users are requested to follow the RF safety instructions on wireless option 

devices that are included in the user's manual of each RF option device.

Caution: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance 

requirements, a separation distance of at least 20 cm (8 inches) 

must be maintained between the antenna for the integrated 

wireless LAN Mini PCI Card built in to the screen section and all 

persons.

Note: The wireless Mini PCI adapter implements a transmission 

diversity function. The function does not emit radio frequencies 

simultaneously from both antennas. One of the antennas is 

selected automatically or manually (by users) to ensure good 

quality radiocommunication.

42

English

2

This device is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to 

5.25 GHz frequency range. FCC requires this product to be used indoors for 

the frequency range 5.15 to 5.25 GHz to reduce the potential for harmful 

interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite systems.

3

High power radar are allocated as primary users of the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz 

and 5.65 to 5.85 GHz bands. These radar stations can cause interference 

with and/or damage this device.

4

An improper installation or unauthorized use may cause harmful 

interference to radio communications. Also any tampering of the internal 

antenna will void the FCC certification and your warranty.
