2Chapter 1 Regulatory notices for notebook computers
Federal Communications Commission notice
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 to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
●
connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or television technician for help.
●
Modifications
The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications made to this device that
are not expressly approved by HP may void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Cables
To maintain compliance with FCC Rules and Regulations, connections to this device must be made
with shielded cables having metallic RFI/EMI connector hoods.
Federal Communications Commission notice3

Products with wireless LAN devices or HP Mobile Broadband Modules
This device must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
WARNING!Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation 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 is minimized during normal operation of tablet PCs and
notebook computers.
During normal operation of tablet PCs and notebook computers with displays equal to or less than
30.5 cm (12 inches): To avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits,
human proximity to the antennas should not be less than 2.5 cm (1 inch). To identify the location of
the wireless antennas, refer to the computer user guides included with your computer.
During normal operation of notebook computers with displays greater than 30.5 cm (12 inches): To
avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the
antennas should not be less than 20 cm (8 inches), including when the computer display is closed. To
identify the location of the wireless antennas, refer to the computer user guides included with your
computer.
CAUTION:When using IEEE 802.11a wireless LAN, this product is restricted to indoor use, due to
its operation in the 5.15- to 5.25-GHz frequency range. The FCC requires this product to be used
indoors for the frequency range of 5.15 GHz to 5.25 GHz to reduce the potential for harmful
interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems. High-power radar is allocated as the primary user
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 to this device.

Products with wireless modules (EMF)
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY
RADIATION.
The wireless module in your notebook computer is a radio transmitter and receiver. The device is
designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) recommended by international
guidelines (ICNIRP). These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines that establish permitted levels
of RF radiation for the general population. The guidelines were developed by independent scientific
6Chapter 1 Regulatory notices for notebook computers
organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The device also meets
the European R&TTE directives, including the protection of the health and the safety of the user and
any other person.
The exposure standard for mobile devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR).* The SAR was obtained by testing the device at standard operating positions
with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The
actual SAR of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value, because the device
operates at multiple power levels and uses only the power required to reach the network.
When installed in the notebook computer, this device meets RF exposure guidelines when the
antennas are positioned at a minimum distance from the body. In order to transmit data or messages,
this device requires a quality connection to the network. In some cases, transmission of data or
messages may be delayed until such a connection becomes available. Be sure that the
recommended distance is observed until the transmission is complete.
*The non-FCC, international guidelines state that the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public
is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of body tissue. The guidelines incorporate a
substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any
variations in measurements. SAR values may vary depending on national reporting requirements and
the network band.
This equipment incorporates a radio transmitting and receiving device. In normal use, a separation
distance of 20 cm ensures that radio frequency exposure levels comply with the Australian and New
Zealand Standards.
European telephone network declaration (Modem/Fax)
The product herewith complies with the requirements of the R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC (Annex II)
and carries the CE marking accordingly. However, due to differences between the individual PSTNs
provided in different countries/regions, the approval does not, of itself, give an unconditional
assurance of successful operation on every PSTN network termination point. In the event of
problems, you should contact your equipment supplier in the first instance.
This equipment has been designed to work with analogue DTMF Networks. This equipment may
have internetworking difficulties in PSTN networks that only support Pulse Dialing. Please consult
with your network operator for further assistance.
Ergonomics notice
Germany (English text)
When a mobile computer is used at the office workstation for display work tasks where the Visual
Display Unit (VDU) Directive 90/270/EEC is applicable, an adequate external keyboard is required.
Depending on the application and task, an adequate external monitor may also be necessary to attain
working conditions comparable to a workstation setup.
Ref: EK1-ITB 2000 (voluntary GS certification)
Mobile computers bearing the "GS" approval mark meet the applicable ergonomic requirements.
Without external keyboards, they are suitable only for short-time use of VDU tasks.
During mobile use with disadvantageous illumination conditions (e.g. direct sun light) reflections may
occur, which result in reduced readability.
European Union regulatory notices7
Germany (Deutscher text)
Wird ein mobiler Computer für Bildschirmarbeitsaufgaben verwendet, wo die Richtlinie 90/270/EEG
(Bildschirmarbeitsrichtlinie) anzuwenden ist, wird eine geeignete externe Tastatur notwendig.
Abhängig von der Anwendung und der Aufgabe kann ein geeigneter externer Monitor erforderlich
sein, um vergleichbare Arbeitsbedingungen zu einem stationären Arbeitsplatz zu erreichen.
Ref: EK1-ITB 2000 (freiwillige GS Zertifizierung)
Mobile Computer, welche das "GS" Zeichen tragen, entsprechen den ergonomischen Anforderungen
und sind nur für kurzzeitige Benutzung von Bildschirmarbeitsaufgaben geeignet.
Bei mobiler Nutzung mit ungünstigen Lichtverhältnissen (z.B. direkte Sonneneinstrahlung) kann es zu
Reflexionen und damit zu Einschränkungen der Lesbarkeit der dargestellten Zeichen kommen.
