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

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

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

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

English

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.

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.
