EQUIPMENT ATTACHEMENT LIMITATIONS

“NOTICE: The Industry Canada label identiﬁ es certiﬁ ed equipment. This certiﬁ cation means that the equipment meets telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements document(s). The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction. Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations. Repairs to certiﬁ ed equipment should be coordinated by a representative designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment. Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas. Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.” “NOTICE: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.” REN: See bottom of the computer

Le Ministère n’assure toutefois pas que le matériel fonctionnera à la satisfaction de l’utilisateur. Avant d’installer ce matériel, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer qu’il est permis de le raccorder aux installations de l’entreprise locale de télécommunication. Le matériel doit également être installé en suivant une méthode acceptée de raccordement. L’abonné ne doit pas oublier qu’il est possible que la conformité aux conditions énoncées ci-dessus n’empêche pas la dégradation du service dans certaines situations. Les réparations de matériel homologué doivent être coordonnées par un représentant désigné par le fournisseur. L’entreprise de télécommunications peut demander à l’utilisateur de débrancher un appareil à la suite de réparations ou de modiﬁ cations effectuées par l’utilisateur ou à cause de mauvais fonctionnement. Pour sa propre protection, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer que tous les ﬁ ls de mise à la terre de la source d’énergie élec- trique, des lignes téléphoniques et des canalisations d’eau métalliques, s’il y en a, sont raccordés ensemble.

Cette précaution est particulièrement importante dans les régions rurales. Avertissement: L’utilisateur ne doit pas tenter de faire ces raccordements lui-même; il doit avoir recours à un service d’inspection des installations électriques, ou à un électricien, selon le cas.” “AVIS: L’indice d’équivalence de la sonnerie (IES) assigné à chaque dispositif terminal indique le nombre maximal de terminaux qui peuvent être raccordés à une interface. La terminaison d’une interface téléphonique peut consister en une combinaison de quelques dispositifs, à la seule condition que la somme d’indices d’équivalence de la sonnerie de touts les dispositifs n’excède pas 5.” IES: Voir sous le fond de l’ordinateur

Do not use the screen when dust or dirt (e.g., oil) is on the screen. Otherwise foreign particles on the screen/digi-

tizer pen can scratch the screen surface or obstruct the digitizer pen operation.



Use the digitizer pen only for touching the screen. Using it for any other purpose may damage the digitizer pen and

result in scratches on the screen.



The digitizer uses electromagnetic induction and may not work properly near strong electrical ﬁ eld or magnetic ﬁ eld

such as:



Near AM radio base station or relay station antennas



Near CRT displays that generate strong electromagnetic ﬁ eld noise

Move the digitizer away from such locations so it will work properly.



The pointer cannot follow the digitizer pen movement if you move the digitizer pen too quickly.



When the battery indicator does not light on

The battery indicator may not light on even if the AC adaptor and the battery pack are correctly connected to the computer, due to the following reasons.



The AC adaptor’s protection function may be working. In this case, pull out the AC cord and wait for more than

1 minute before reconnecting the AC cord.



When the battery is fully charged and the computer is not operating (i.e., it is turned off or in sleep mode), the pow-

er supply from the AC adaptor stops and power consumption is inhibited (except when the Wake Up from LAN or the Power On by LAN function is enabled). In this case, the indicator will light green upon connecting the AC adaptor, but only for a moment.
