Precautions

Safety Precautions

The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of the operation, usage, service or
repair of any Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating EVDO. Manufacturers of the
cellular terminal are advised to convey the following safety information to users and operating personnel
and to incorporate these guidelines into all manuals supplied with the product. Failure to comply with
these precautions violates safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of the product.

Panasonic assumes no liability for customer failure to comply with these precautions.

When in a hospital or other health care facility, observe the restrictions on the use of mobiles.
Switch Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating EVDO off, if instructed to do so

by the guidelines posted in sensitive areas. Medical equipment may be sensitive to RF energy.

The operation of cardiac pacemakers, other implanted medical equipment and hearing aids
can be affected by interference from Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporat­ing EVDO placed close to the device. If in doubt about potential danger, contact the physi­cian or the manufacturer of the device to verify that the equipment is properly shielded.
Pacemaker patients are advised to keep their Personal Computer or Handheld Computer

incorporating EVDO away from the pacemaker, while it is on.

Switch off Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating EVDO before boarding
an aircraft. Make sure it cannot be switched on inadvertently. The operation of wireless
appliances in an aircraft is forbidden to prevent interference with communications systems.
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the suspension or denial of cellular ser-

vices to the offender, legal action, or both.

Do not operate Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating EVDO in the presence
of flammable gases or fumes. Switch off the cellular terminal when you are near petrol stations,
fuel depots, chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress. Operation of any

electrical equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres can constitute a safety hazard.

Your Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating EVDO receives and trans­mits radio frequency energy while switched on. Remember that interference can occur if it is
used close to TV sets, radios, computers or inadequately shielded equipment. Follow any
special regulations and always switch off Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incor­porating EVDO wherever forbidden, or when you suspect that it may cause interference or

danger.

Road safety comes first! Do not use a Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating
EVDO while driving a vehicle. Do not place the computer with EVDO in an area where it could
cause personal injury to the driver or passengers. It is recommended to stow the unit in the boot or
secure stowage area while driving.
Do not place the computer with EVDO in an area over an air bag or in the vicinity where an air bag
may deploy.
Air bags inflate with great force and if the computer with EVDO is placed in the air bag deployment

area may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.

IMPORTANT!
Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating EVDO operate using radio signals
and cellular networks cannot be guaranteed to connect in all conditions. Therefore, you
should never rely solely upon any wireless device for essential communications, for ex­ample emergency calls.

Remember, in order to make or receive calls, Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incor­porating EVDO must be switched on and in a service area with adequate cellular signal strength.
Some networks do not allow for emergency calls if certain network services or phone fea­tures are in use (e.g. lock functions, fixed dialing etc.). You may need to deactivate those

features before you can make an emergency call.

Some networks require that a valid SIM card be properly inserted in Personal Computer or
Handheld Computer incorporating EVDO. 27-E-1-1

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 Panasonic Service Center or an ex­perienced radio/TV technician for help.

Warning

To assure continued compliance, use only shielded
interface cables when connecting to a computer or
peripheral. Also, any changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to oper-

ate this equipment.

FCC RF Exposure Warning:

This equipment is provided with PC Card slot
that could be used with wireless transmitters,
which will be specifically recommended when
they become available.
Other third-party wireless transmitters have not

been RF exposure evaluated for use with this
computer and may not comply with FCC RF ex­posure requirements.
This equipment complies with FCC radiation ex­posure limits set forth for an uncontrolled envi­ronment.
This equipment has been approved for portable
operation, and if provided with EVDO transmit­ter, requires LCD side panel spacers to provide
minimum 1.5 cm spacing between antenna lo­cated within the LCD side panel, and all person’s
body (excluding extremities of hands, wrist and
feet) during wireless modes of operation.
This equipment may use multiple installed trans­mitters, which may be capable of simultaneous
transmission.
This equipment is provided with external an­tenna connector(s) for connection to optional Car
Mounter or Port Replicator for mobile external
mounted antenna(s). External antenna(s) must
be professionally installed and cannot exceed
recommended maximum antenna gain as de­scribed in individual provided supplement in­structions for wireless transmitters. Also, user
must maintain minimum 20 cm spacing between
external antenna(s) and all person’s body (ex­cluding extremities of hands, wrist and feet) dur­ing wireless modes of operation. 25-M-1-1

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 re-

ceived, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
