Products with HP Mobile Broadband ModulesTHIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCYRADIATION.The HP Mobile Broadband Module in your notebook is a radio transmitter and receiver. The device isdesigned not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) recommended by internationalguidelines (ICNIRP). These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines that establish permitted levelsof RF radiation for the general population. The guidelines were developed by independent scientificorganizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The device also meetsthe European R&TTE directives, including the protection of the health and the safety of the user andany other person.The exposure standard for mobile devices employs a unit of measurement known as the SpecificAbsorption Rate (SAR).* The SAR was obtained by testing the device at standard operating positionswith the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Theactual SAR of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value, because the deviceoperates at multiple power levels and uses only the power required to reach the network.When installed in the notebook computer, this device meets RF exposure guidelines when theantennas are positioned at a minimum distance from the body. In order to transmit data or messages,this device requires a quality connection to the network. In some cases, transmission of data ormessages may be delayed until such a connection becomes available. Be sure that therecommended distance is observed until the transmission is complete.*The non-FCC, international guidelines state that the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the publicis 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of body tissue. The guidelines incorporate asubstantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for anyvariations in measurements. SAR values may vary depending on national reporting requirements andthe network band.This equipment incorporates a radio transmitting device. In normal use, a separation distance of 20cm ensures that radio frequency exposure levels comply with the Australian and New ZealandStandards.Ergonomics noticeGermanyMobile computers bearing the "GS" approval mark meet the ergonomic requirements and are suitableonly for short-time use of VDU tasks. When a mobile computer is used for display work tasks wherethe Visual Display Unit (VDU) Directive 90/270/EEC is applicable, an adequate external keyboard isrequired. Depending on the application and task, an adequate external monitor may also benecessary to attain working conditions comparable to a workstation setup.Ref: EK1-ITB 2000:2008This device is intended for use at visual display workplaces in compliance with BildscharbV, only withexternal keyboard and adequate external monitor.During mobile use with disadvantageous illumination conditions (e.g. direct sun light) reflections mayoccur which result in reduced readability.6 Chapter 1 Regulatory notices

Mobile Computer, welche das "GS" Zeichen tragen, entsprechen den ergonomischen Anforderungenund sind nur für kurzzeitige Benutzung von Bildschirmarbeitsaufgaben geeignet. Wird ein mobilerComputer für Bildschirmarbeitsaufgaben verwendet, wo die Richtlinie 90/270/EEG(Bildschirmarbeitsrichtlinie) anzuwenden ist, wird eine geeignete externe Tastatur notwendig.Abhängig von der Anwendung und der Aufgabe kann ein geeigneter externer Monitor erforderlichsein, um vergleichbare Arbeitsbedingungen zu einem stationären Arbeitsplatz zu erreichen.Ref: EK1-ITB 2000:2008Das Gerät ist für die Benutzung am Bildschirmarbeitsplatz gemäß BildscharbV nur mit externerTastatur und geeignetem Monitor vorgesehen.Bei mobiler Nutzung mit ungünstigen Lichtverhältnissen (z.B. direkte Sonneneinstrahlung) kann es zuReflexionen und damit zu Einschränkungen der Lesbarkeit der dargestellten Zeichen kommen.Japan noticesWireless LAN 802.11b devicesWireless LAN 802.11g devicesJapan notices 7

The use of these devices onboard aircraftis illegal, may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, and may disrupt the cellular network.Failure to observe this instruction may lead to suspension or denial of cellular services to theoffender, or legal action, or both.Users are reminded to restrict the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants, and whereblasting operations are in progress.As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for satisfactory operation ofthe equipment and for the safety of personnel, no part of the human body should be allowed to cometoo close to the antennas during operation of the equipment.This device has been designed to comply with applicable requirements for exposure to radio waves,based on scientific guidelines that include margins intended to assure the safety of all people,regardless of health and age. These radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurementknown as the specific absorption rate (SAR). Tests for SAR are conducted using standardizedmethods, with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all used frequency bands.The SAR data information is based on CENELEC's standards EN50360 and EN50361, which use thelimit of 2 watts per kilogram, averaged over 10 grams of tissue.8 Chapter 1 Regulatory notices
