Federal Communications Commission Radio Frequency Interference

Statement

NOTE:

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 into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is

connected.

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

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Please note:

The use of a non-shielded interface cable with this equipment is prohibited.

Wireless LAN Module Statement

FCC CAUTION:

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

If the ML910

RUGGED NOTEBOOK computer has the Intel 3945abg module (802.11abg) installed, operation on the 5.15-5.25GHz frequency band is restricted to indoor use only. The FCC requires indoor use for the 5.15-5.25GHz band to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite Systems.

When the internal ML910

RUGGED NOTEBOOK 802.11abg module is configured to the Motorola default state, it will only transmit on the 5.15-5.25GHz band when associated with an access point (AP) that uses the 5.15-5.25GHz band and such applications should only be used indoors.

Use in the 802.11a frequency range is limited to client-AP association. Client-client association (AD HOC mode) is not supported.

FCC External Antenna Placement

When the Motorola WMC6300 or WMC7300 PCMCIA radio modems are integrated in the PCMCIA slot of the ML910

RUGGED NOTEBOOK, the external antenna must be

placed as shown in the picture below to comply with FCC RF exposure requirements.

FCC RF Exposure Statement

This equipment complies with FCC RF exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20cm between the radiator and all persons. See page 1-10 of the Users Guide for antenna locations.

To assure continued compliance, any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

FCC RF Exposure Warning

IMPORTANT NOTE:

To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the antennas used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter other than those

approved for use in Motorola series ML910

CAUTION:

BEFORE USING ML910 CONTAINS IMPORTANT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USAGE AND RF ENERGY AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION FOR COMPLIANCE WITH RF ENERGY EXPOSURE LIMITS IN APPLICABLE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS.

RUGGED NOTEBOOK, READ THIS SECTION WHICH

Compliance with RF Energy Exposure Standards

NOTE:

ML910 where users are not necessarily aware of the potential for exposure and may not exercise control over their exposure. This product safety section includes useful information about RF exposure and helpful instructions on how to control your RF exposures. For additional information on exposure requirements or other training information, visit http://www.motorola.com/rfhealth

Radio Frequency Interference Requirements and SAR

The FCC with its action in ET Docket 93-62 has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC certified equipment. All wireless modules meets the Human Exposure limits found in OET Bulletin 65, 2001 and IEEE Std C95.1™-2005. Proper operation of this radio according to the instructions found in this manual will result in exposure substantially below the FCC’s recommended limits. The following safety precautions should be observed:

RUGGED NOTEBOOK is intended for general population, consumer or similar use;

• Do not touch or move antenna while the unit is transmitting or receiving.

• Do not operate the radio or attempt to transmit data unless the antenna is connected; if not, the radio may be damaged.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility

NOTE:

Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility.

Facilities

To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your ML910

RUGGED NOTEBOOK and/or integrated radios in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.

Aircraft

When instructed to do so, turn off your ML910 integrated radios when on board an aircraft. Any use of a ML910

NOTEBOOK or radio must be in accordance with applicable regulations per airline crew instructions.

Medical Devices

Pacemakers

Keep the antennas of ML910 from any person’s body. Along with ensuring compliance with the RF energy exposure limits (as instructed in the RF Energy Exposure section previously), this separation distance meets or exceeds the distance recommendation of pacemaker manufacturers and the FCC to avoid interference with pacemakers.

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless radios may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.

Driver Safety

Always abide by the laws and regulations on the use of computers and/or integrated radios in the area where you drive.

When using ML910

RUGGED NOTEBOOK and/or radio while driving, please:

• Give full attention to driving and to the road.

• Pull off the road and park before using the equipment if driving conditions so

require.

Operational Warnings

For Vehicles with an Air Bag

Do not place a ML910 bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a ML910 NOTEBOOK is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, ML910 RUGGED NOTEBOOK may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn off your ML910 potentially explosive atmosphere. Do not remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire

RUGGED NOTEBOOK in the area over an air bag or in the air

resulting in bodily injury or even death. The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above include fuelling areas such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted.

Blasting Caps and Areas

To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off ML910 NOTEBOOK when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted: "Turn off two-way radio". Obey all signs and instructions.

Operational Cautions

Antennas

Do not use the integrated radios of any ML910 damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.

Batteries

All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if conductive materials such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touch exposed terminals. The conductive material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.
