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 (RF) energy 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. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. The LocationFreeTV has been tested and found to comply with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines on RF energy exposures. The maximum SAR levels tested for the LF-X1 has been show to be 0.87 W/kg at Body. LF-X5 has been show to be 1.25 W/kg at Body.

* This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in

conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

* When using the unit with 802.11a (5GHz), use in doors.

What is a LocationFreeTV?

The LocationFreeTV is an LCD television system that embodies the LocationFreeTM concept—the ability to enjoy TV, videos, DVDs, Internet browsing, mail, and digital photos wherever you happen to be. Whether you use it at home through a wireless or wired LAN connection, or away from home with the NetAV function, the LocationFreeTV allows you to enjoy video images and other media from a variety of locations. At home, when you set up the base station in a central room, you are free to roam anywhere within its wireless transmission range carrying only the monitor. Away from home, you can access your TV, videos, and DVDs by using the system’s NetAV function to connect to your base station through the Internet. You can enjoy browsing the Internet, composing and reading mail, and viewing your digital albums. You can also register other monitors to a base station. This allows you to use NetAV from the other registered monitors.

z Tips

• The LocationFreeTV is composed of a monitor and a base station that communicate with each other over a wireless connection. The monitor must be within about 100 feet (30 meters)* of the base station in order to send and receive transmissions clearly.

* Signal strength will differ based on operating

environment.

• When the monitor is in communication with the base station, the upper of the screen displays the indicator. (Only when using in Home-Wireless LAN.)

• The monitor operates on a rechargeable battery. Recharge the battery using the AC power adapter (supplied). (For the LF-X1, the monitor can be recharged while in use, but not for the LF-X5.)

• When the power is turned on, the base station continuously emits a wireless signal.

Note

The LocationFreeTV transmits on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz* wireless channels. In the average home, this gives it a coverage range of about 100 feet (30 meters). If other devices in the vicinity emit electrical waves, such as a wireless LAN device or microwave oven, the strength of the wireless signal may decrease. The materials used in the construction of a building’s walls and floors may also affect the signal strength. * At time of purchase, the LocationFreeTV is set to

the 2.4 GHz wireless channel.

Notes

• When storing the battery long-term, use up any remaining charge, then remove the battery and store it in a cool place. In addition, fully charge the battery and use up the entire charge at least once a year, before returning the battery to storage.

• Like other rechargeable batteries, the supplied lithium-ion battery gradually loses its ability to charge with repeated use. When battery life decreases significantly, it is time to buy a new battery. The battery can be charged about 300 times before it needs replacement.

• Depending on the type of battery, the battery charge may run out and cause the power to shut off before the indicator appears.

• There are public wireless access you can connect to with “No Encryption”, but the data you send and receive is unencrypted and may be intercepted. Be sure to take note of this when using the web and e-mail.

About Wireless Security

Since communication via the wireless LAN function is established by radio waves, the wireless signal may be susceptible to interception. To decrease this danger, the LocationFreeTV supports various security functions. Be sure to correctly configure the security settings in accordance with your intended purpose and network environment.

Wireless LAN security function of the LocationFreeTV

• No encryption Because raw data is transmitted, there is a danger of interception. This setting is not available for wireless LAN communication between the base station and the monitor.

•WEP WEP is the wireless LAN security technology specified by IEEE802.11. It applies encryption to communications. There are two types of encryption key length; 64-bit key and 128-bit key. The 128-bit encryption key assures a higher security level. A decryption technique exists, however, so using the same encryption key for an extended period of time is not recommended.

• WPA-PSK with TKIP encryption WPA is a security technology developed to correct for the deficiencies of WEP. The LocationFreeTV utilizes WPA together with TKIP encryption. WPA-PSK with TKIP encryption assures the highest security level among the technologies supported by the LocationFreeTV.

Setup and Connections

Security settings of the LocationFreeTV

• The security for wireless LAN communication between the base station and the monitor is set to WEP as the factory default. To increase the security level, switch to WPA-PSK. Note, however, that the communication stability may differ depending on which technology you use, WEP or WPA-PSK.

What’s NetAV

ADVANCE: Making Use of NetAV

This section describes how to set up the NetAV server on the base station and the NetAV client on the monitor.

What’s NetAV

While you are away from home with your monitor, you can connect it to your base station via the Internet, enjoy TV, and control the VCR or the DVD player in your home. This is the “NetAV” function. By connecting it to a public wireless access, you can enjoy NetAV at a cafe via the Internet. You can also enjoy NetAV at a hotel by connecting it to the Internet via wired LAN.

Notes

• To use NetAV, you must perform the following settings beforehand on the base station, router, and other peripheral devices. Without configuring the necessary settings, you will not be able to use the NetAV function when you take the monitor away from home.

• You cannot use NetAV when connected to the Internet via an analog phone line that uses a dial-up router.

Connecting to the Internet using the NetAV function

Configuring the monitor settings allows you to connect to the Internet using the NetAV function from a wireless or wired LAN away from home. NetAV settings must be configured when connecting by either Wireless or Wired LAN. In addition, when connecting wirelessly you must configure [Wireless Monitor Settings], and when connecting by Wired LAN you must configure [Wired Monitor Settings].

Notes

• When using NetAV, the base station power must be turned on.

• You must set up NetAV in advance while you are at home and the monitor has a wireless connection to the base station (Home-Wireless mode). If you cannot connect to the base station in Home-Wireless mode while away from home, you cannot change the base station settings.

z Tips

• NetAV transmits video via the Internet. Currently, we recommend the network throughput higher than 300 kbps (both uploading and downloading). If the connection speed is too slow, the picture and sound may cut out or be affected by noise, etc.

• Because the monitor does not have a PPPoE function, you may need to configure the router settings when using the monitor at a location other than your home.

• If a firewall is set, you cannot use NetAV.

Setup and Connections

Line types not supported by NetAV

• Analog phone line using a dial-up router

• Cellular phones
