20 cm (8 inches) from the body when wireless devices are on and transmitting.

Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices. Examples of common restrictions include:

• When in environments where you are uncertain of the sanction to use wireless devices, ask the applicable

authority for authorization prior to use or turning on the wireless device.

• Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless devices. Since your system is equipped with a

wireless device, when traveling between countries with your system, check with the local Radio Approval
authorities prior to any move or trip for any restrictions on the use of a wireless device in the destination
country.

• Wireless devices are not user-serviceable. Do not modify them in any way. Modification to a wireless device

will void the authorization to use it. Please contact the manufacturer for service.

iv

Cable Notice

The use of shielded I/O cables is required when connecting this equipment to any and all optional peripheral or
host devices. Failure to do so may cause interference and violate FCC and international regulations for
electromagnetic interference.
