The radiated output power of this device is
below the FCC radio frequency exposure
limits. Nevertheless, the device should be
used in such a manner that the potential for
human contact during normal operation is
minimized. To avoid the possibility of
exceeding the FCC radio frequency
exposure limits, human proximity to the
antennae should be not less than 20 cm
(8 inches) during normal operation, including
when the notebook display is closed.
*The antennae are not visible from the outside of the notebook. For
optimal transmission, keep the areas immediately around the antennae
free from obstructions.
