FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated
with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low
power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low
levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used.
Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to
low level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health
effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such
findings have not been confirmed by additional research. PC-TN10W has been tested
and found to comply with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines
on radio frequency energy (RF) exposure. The maximum SAR levels tested for the PCTN10W has been shown to be 0.560W/kg at Body.
About the Modem
This equipment complies with Part 68 of FCC rules. On the bottom of this equipment
is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and
ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this information
must be provided to the telephone company.
The modem jack of this equipment complies with Sub-part F of Part 68 of FCC rules.
The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be connected to the
telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not
ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the
RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be
connected to the line, as determined by the total RENs contact the telephone company
to determine the maximum REN for the calling areas.
If the terminal equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone
company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be
required. But if advance notice isn't practical, the telephone company will notify the
customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC if you believe it necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or
procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens, the
telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make the necessary
modifications in order to maintain uninterrupted service.
If trouble is experienced with this equipment, please contact Sharp Electronics Corp.
for repair and (or) warranty information (refer to the provided Consumer Limited
ii
Warranty sheet). If the trouble is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone
company may request you remove the equipment from the network until the problem is
resolved.
The equipment cannot be used on public coin service provided by the telephone
company. Connection to Party Line Service is subject to state tariffs. (Contact the
state public utility commission, public service commission or corporation commission
for information.)
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to
use a computer or other electronic device, including fax machines, to send any message
unless such message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each
transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent and
an identification of the business or other entity, or other individual sending the message
and the telephone number of the sending machine or such business, other entity, or
individual. (The telephone number provided may not be a 900 number or any other
number for which charges exceed local or long-distance transmission charges.) To
program this information, refer to the manual of the communication software.

Using Glide Pad
Your computer is equipped with an integrated pointing device called a glide pad. Using
the glide pad, you can move the pointer, select an item from a menu, and perform other
tasks in the same way you would with a mouse.
Pointer
2
Glide Pad
• Do not hit or scratch the surface of the glide pad with pointed objects
(such as a ballpoint pen, the provided tablet pen or others).
• Do not operate the glide pad with a moist finger. This may cause the
glide pad to operate incorrectly.
Using Glide Pad
Take a moment to become familiar with how the glide pad works.
Place Your Fingertip
Place your left or right hand next to the glide pad, resting your wrist naturally in a
relaxed manner. Place your thumb or finger on the glide pad.
Move Your Fingertip
The rectangular pad of the glide pad acts like a miniature duplicate of the display. As
you slide your fingertip across the pad in primary landscape mode, for instance, the
pointer on the screen moves in the same direction across the screen. The glide pad is
very sensitive, so you do not have to exert much pressure on the pad. The glide pad
will respond to a light touch from your fingertip.
2-4
Click, Double-click, and Right-click
To click or double-click, you can use the left button just like that of a mouse. Instead of
clicking or double-clicking the left button, you can also just tap gently or tap twice
quickly anywhere on the rectangular pad. For right-clicking, you must use the right
button.
Drag and Drop
You can move an item by using “drag and drop” below:
1. Position the pointer over the item.
2. Press the left button; do not release it.
3. Holding it down, move the pointer. The item moves together with the pointer.
4. Release the button when the item reaches its destination.
Or you can tap the pad twice and hold it instead of pressing the left button in the
step 2.
Scroll
You can scroll through information in a list or in a document by using the glide pad. To
view information vertically, place your finger on the most right part of the glide pad
and slide your finger up and down. To view horizontally, place your finger on the
bottom part of the glide pad and slide your finger to the left or the right. This procedure
works only in limited applications.
Changing Configuration
In the Mouse Properties dialog box, you can change the configuration of the glide
pad, such as swapping left and right buttons, changing the pointer size, etc. Doubleclick
icon on the taskbar.
