STATEMENTS REGARDING THE WIRELESS LAN CARD

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. 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 WD05740 has been tested
and found to comply with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines on radio frequency energy (RF)
exposures. The maximum SAR levels tested for the WD05740 has been shown to be 0.563W/kg at body.
This device should not be co-located or operated with any other antenna or transmitter.
In addition, use of the equipment other than PDA may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidlines.

FCC AND INDUSTRY CANADA INFORMATION (U.S.A , CANADA)

Important Precautions

Read the following before operating the Disklavier.

Warning

• Do not locate the Disklavier in a place subject to
excessive heat, low temperatures, or direct sunlight.
This could be a fire hazard and may damage the finish
and internal parts.

• Excessive humidity or dust can lead to fire or electric
shock.

• Connect the plug on the Disklavier power cable to a
compatible AC outlet. Failure to do so will present a
fire and electric shock hazard. If the power cable plug
is not compatible with your AC outlet, consult your
dealer.

• Do not plug several devices into the same AC outlet.
This can overload the AC outlet, and lead to fire and
electric shock hazard. It may also affect the
performance of some devices.

• Do not place heavy objects on the power cable. A
damaged power cable is a potential fire and electric
shock hazard. If the power cable runs under a carpet,
make sure heavy objects, including the Disklavier, are
not placed on top of the cable.

• If the power cable is damaged (i.e. cut or a bare wire is
exposed), ask your dealer for a replacement. Using the
Disklavier in this condition is a fire and shock hazard.

• When disconnecting the power cable from an AC
outlet, always pull by the plug. Never pull the cable.
Damaging the cable in this way is a potential fire and
electric shock hazard.

• The cover of the unit should be removed only by
qualified service technicians.

• Do not place liquid containers such as vases, potted
plants, glasses, cosmetic bottles, medicines, etc., on top
of the Disklavier.

• Do not try to modify the Disklavier, as this could lead
to fire or electric shock hazard.

• When moving the Disklavier to another location, turn
off the power, remove the power plug from the AC
outlet, and remove all cables connected to external
devices.

Cautions

• Turn off all audio devices when connecting to the
Disklavier. Refer to the user’s guide for each device.
Use the correct cables and connect as specified.

• Set the volume level on all the devices to minimum
before applying power.

• Do not play the Disklavier at a high volume for
extended periods; you may damage your hearing. This
is especially important when using headphones. If you
think your hearing ability is impaired, consult your
doctor.

• If the Disklavier is worked extremely hard — that is,
prolonged playback of very “busy” songs — the
Disklavier’s thermal relay may trip. The thermal relay
will automatically reset when the Disklavier has cooled
down.

• If you notice any abnormality — such as smoke, odor,
or noise — turn off the Disklavier immediately, and
remove the power plug from the AC outlet. Consult
your dealer for repair.

ii

• If a foreign object or water gets inside the Disklavier
turn it off immediately, and remove the power plug
from the AC outlet. Consult your dealer.

• If you plan not to use the Disklavier for a long period
of time (such as when you are on vacation), disconnect
the electrical mains.

• Always remove the power plug from the AC outlet
before cleaning the Disklavier. Leaving the power plug
connected presents a risk of electric shock.

• Do not use benzene, thinner, cleaning detergent, or a
chemical cloth to clean the Disklavier.

• Do not place metal objects with rubber feet on top of
the Disklavier. The color and finish of the Disklavier
can be damaged.

• Do not place heavy objects on the Disklavier. Doing so
can damage the Disklavier.

• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the Disklavier. However,
if you discover a stain, carefully use a soft damp cloth
to remove it.

Interference

• The Disklavier uses high-frequency digital circuits that
may cause interference to radios and TVs placed close
to it. If interference does occur, relocate the affected
equipment.

Handling Rechargeable
Battery

• Only use the “EA-BL08” rechargeable battery.

• When charging, be sure to use the Pocket Controller
only with the “EA-70” AC adaptor.

• Do not dispose of the battery in a fire.

• Also keep the battery away from open flames.

• Never attempt to disassemble the battery pack.

• Do not short-circuit the terminals as they will become
very hot and will damage the battery.

• Do not drop or subject the battery to shock.

• After storing the battery for a long period of time, be
sure to charge the battery completely prior to use.

• Charge the battery properly, according to the details
described in this manual.

• Fluid from a leaking battery accidentally entering an
eye could result in serious injury. Should this occur,
wash with clean water and immediately consult a
doctor.

• Should fluid from a leaking battery come into contact
with your skin or clothes, immediately wash with clean
water.
