Information to the User
<Only for model with wireless LAN/Bluetooth>
This product and your Health
This product, like other radio devices, emits radio frequency electromagnetic energy.
The level of energy emitted by this product however is far much less than the electro-
magnetic energy emitted by wireless devices like for example mobile phones.
Because this product operates within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety
standards and recommendations, we believe this product is safe for use by consum-
ers. These standards and recommendations reect the consensus of the scientic
community and result from deliberations of panels and committees of scientists who
continually review and interpret the extensive research literature.
In some situations or environments, the use of this product may be restricted by the
proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of the organization. These
situations may for example include:
<Ne s’applique qu’aux modèles avec technologie LAN sans l>
Cet appareil (pour réseaux locaux radioélectriques) dans les bandes de fréquences
5150-5250 MHz est réservé à une utilisation à l’intérieur an de réduire le risque
d’interférence avec les systèmes satellites mobiles bicanaux.
Les radars forte puissance sont désignés comme étant les premiers utilisateurs (c’est-
à-dire qu’ils ont la priorité) des bandes de fréquences 5250-5350 MHz et 5650-5850
MHz. Ces stations radars peuvent provoquer des interférences et/ou des dommages
à ce périphérique.
30-Ca-2-1
This device has been designed to operate with the WWAN antenna having a maxi-
mum gain of 1.50 dB for the cellular band and 3.50 dB for the PCS band. WWAN
antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada.
The Required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain
should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not
more than that required for successful communication.
Cet appareil est conçu pour opérer avec une antenne WWAN (réseau étendu sans l)
dont le gain maximum est xé à 1.50 pour la bande cellulaire et à 3.50 pour la bande
de service de communications personnelles (PCS). Les règlements d’Industrie Cana-
da interdisent l’utilisation d’une antenne WWAN dont le gain serait supérieur à cette
limite. L’antenne doit avoir une impédance de 50 ohms.
An de réduire le risque d’interférence radioélectrique aux autres utilisateurs des
bandes de fréquences, le type d’antenne et son gain doivent être tels que la puis-
sance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (PIRE) n’est pas plus élevée que le niveau
requis pour assurer la communication.

Getting Started
A lithium ion battery that is recyclable powers the product
you have purchased.
Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on how to
recycle this battery.
L’appareil que vous vous êtes procuré est alimenté par
une batterie au lithium-ion.
Pour des renseignements sur le recyclage de la batterie,
veuillez composer le 1-800-8-BATTERY 48-M-1
the rst time. When the AC adaptor is
connected to the computer, charging
begins automatically.
l
Should the battery leak and the uid
get into your eyes, do not rub your
eyes. Immediately ush your eyes with
clear water and see a doctor for medi-
cal treatment as soon as possible.
NOTE
l The battery pack may become
warm during recharging or normal
use. This is completely normal.
l Recharging will not commence if
internal temperature of the battery
pack is outside of the allowable
temperature range (0 °C to 50 °C
{32°F to 122 °F}).
(è Reference Manual “Battery
Power”) Once the allowable range
requirement is satised, charging
begins automatically. Note that the
recharging time varies based on the
usage conditions. (Recharging
takes longer than usual when the
temperature is 10 °C {50 °F} or
below.)
l In high-temperature environments,
the battery takes longer to fully
recharge and the operating time is
shorter. Only use the computer
within the allowable temperature
range.
l This computer has a high tempera-
ture mode function that prevents
the degradation of the battery in
high temperature environments.
(è Reference Manual “Battery
Power”) A level corresponding to a
100% charge for high temperature
mode is approximately equivalent to
an 80% charge level for normal
temperature mode.
l The battery pack is a consumable
item. If the amount of time the
computer can be run by using a
particular battery pack becomes
dramatically shorter and repeated
recharging does not restore its
performance, the battery pack
should be replaced with a new one.
l When transporting a spare battery
inside a package, briefcase, etc., it
is recommended that it be placed in
a plastic bag so that its contacts are
protected.
l Always power off the computer
when it is not in use. Leaving the
computer on when the AC adaptor
is not connected will exhaust the
remaining battery capacity.

Risk of Explosion if Battery is replaced
by an Incorrect Type.
