Cautions on Preventing Data Loss (Hard Disk Management)

LCD Bad Pixels

The limits of LCD
manufacturing
technology permit a
maximum of 4 abnormal
or bad pixels, which
does not affect the
system performance.
This system may have
the same level of
abnormal or bad pixels
as any other company’s
products.

Cleaning the LCD

When cleaning the
LCD panel, use only
computer specific
cleaners with a soft
cloth, and lightly wipe in
one direction.
Pressing down hard may
damage the LCD.

To prevent data loss due to damage to the hard disk
drive, please backup your data frequently.

Take care not to damage
the data on a hard disk
drive.

■ A hard disk drive is so
sensitive to external
impact that an external
impact may cause loss of
data on the surface of the
disk.

■ Take extra care, because
moving the computer
or an impact on the
computer when it is
turned on may damage
the data of the hard disk
drive.

■ The company is not
liable for the loss of
any data caused by
customer such as the
carelessness usage
or bad environmental
condition.

Causes that may damage
the data of a hard disk
drive and the hard disk
drive itself.

■ The data may be lost
when an external impact
is applied to the disk
while disassembling
or assembling the
computer.

■ The data may be lost
when the computer is
turned off or reset by
a power failure while
the hard disk drive is
operating.

■ The data may be lost and
irrecoverable due to a
computer virus infection.

■ The data may be lost if
the power is turned off
while running a program.

Regulatory Compliance Statements

Wireless Guidance

Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication devices),
operating in the 2.4 GHz Band, may be present (embedded) in your notebook system. The
following section is a general overview of considerations while operating a wireless device.

Additional limitations, cautions, and concerns for specific countries are listed in the specific
country sections (or country group sections). The wireless devices in your system are only
qualified for use in the countries identified by the Radio Approval Marks on the system rating
label. If the country you will be using the wireless device in, is not listed, please contact your
local Radio Approval agency for requirements. Wireless devices are closely regulated and
use may not be allowed.

The RF field strength of the wireless device or devices that may be embedded in your
notebook are well below all international RF exposure limits as known at this time. Because
the wireless devices (which may be embedded into your notebook) emit less energy than is
allowed in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, manufacturer believes
these devices are safe for use. Regardless of the power levels, care should be taken to
minimize human contact during normal operation.

This transmitter must not be collocated or operate in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter except the installed Bluetooth transmitter.

Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices. Examples of common
restrictions are listed below:

24

■ Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere with equipment on

commercial aircraft. Current aviation regulations require wireless devices to be
turned off while traveling in an airplane.

802.11B (also known as wireless Ethernet or Wifi) and Bluetooth communication
devices are examples of devices that provide wireless communication.

■ In environments where the risk of interference to other devices or services is

harmful or perceived as harmful, the option to use a wireless device may be
restricted or eliminated. Airports, Hospitals, and Oxygen or flammable gas
laden atmospheres are limited examples where use of wireless devices may be

European Telecommunication
Information (for products fitted with
EU-approved modems)

CTR 21 – Attachment requirements for pan­European approval for connection to the
analogue Public Switched Telephone Networks
(PSTNs) of TE (excluding TE supporting
voice telephony services) in which network
addressing, if provided, is by means of Dual
Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) signaling.

Although this equipment can use
either loop disconnect (pulse) or DTMF
(tone) signaling, only the performance
of the DTMF signaling is subject to
regulatory requirements for correct
operation.

It is therefore strongly recommended
that the equipment is set to use DTMF
signaling for access to public or private
emergency services. DTMF signaling
also provides faster call setup.

This equipment has been approved to Council
Decision 98/482/EEC-“CTR 21” for Pan­European single terminal connection to the
Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).

However, due to differences between the
individual PSTNs provided in different countries,
the approval does not, of itself, give an
unconditional assurance of successful operation
on every PSTN termination point. In the event
of problems, you should contact manufacturer
Technical Support.

Marking by the symbol indicates compliance
of this equipment to the Radio and Telecom
