ception, 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.
l
Increase the separation between the
l
equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on
l
a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
Consult the Panasonic Service Center or
l
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 modications not expressly approved by
the party responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
FCC RF Exposure Warning:

slot that could be used with wireless transmitters, which will be specically recommended when they become available.
Other third-party wireless transmitters
have not been RF exposure evaluated for
use with this computer and may not com-
ply with FCC RF exposure requirements.
<Only for model with wireless LAN/wireless
WAN/Bluetooth>
This equipment complies with FCC radia-
l
tion exposure limits set forth for an uncon-
trolled environment.
This equipment may not be co-located or
l
operated with any other antenna or trans-
mitter.
This device meets the government’s re-
l
quirements for exposure to radio waves.
This device is designed and manufactured
not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by
the Federal Communications Commission
of the U.S. Government.
The exposure standard for wireless device
l
employs a unit of measurement known as
the Specic Absorption Rate, or SAR. The
SAR limit set by the FCC is
1.6 W/kg.
* Tests for SAR are conducted using stan-
dard operating positions accepted by the
FCC with the device transmitting at its
highest certied power level in all tested
frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the
highest certied power level, the actual
SAR level of the device while operating
can be well below the maximum value.
This is because the device is designed
to operate at multiple power levels so as
to use only the poser required to reach
the network. In general, the closer you
are to a wireless base station antenna,
the lower the power output.
