DVD-ROM Drive Information

(on selected models)

The DVD-ROM drive allows you to view and create your own CDs and DVDs. You

can purchase an optional DVD viewer software to view DVD titles.

Regional Playback Information

Playback of DVD movie titles involves decoding MPEG2 video, digital AC3 audio

and decryption of CSS protected content. CSS (sometimes called copy guard) is

the name given to the content protection scheme adopted by the motion picture

industry to satisfy a need to protect against unlawful content duplication.

Although the design rules imposed on CSS licensors are many, one rule that is

most relevant is playback restrictions on regionalized content. In order to facilitate

geographically staggered movie releases, DVD video titles are released for specic

geographic regions as dened in “Region Denitions” below. Copyright laws require

that all DVD movies be limited to a particular region (usually coded to the region at

which it is sold). While DVD movie content may be released for multiple regions, CSS

design rules require that any system capable of playing CSS encrypted content must

only be capable of playing one region.

IMPORTANT! The region setting may be changed up to ve times using the viewer

software, then it can only play DVD movies for the last region setting. Changing the

region code after that will require factory resetting which is not covered by warranty. If

resetting is desired, shipping and resetting costs will be at the expense of the user.

Internal Modem Compliancy

The Notebook PC with internal modem model complies with JATE (Japan), FCC

(US, Canada, Korea, Taiwan), and CTR21. The internal modem has been approved

in accordance with Council Decision 98/482/EC for pan-European single terminal

connection to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). However due

to dierences between the individual PSTNs provided in dierent countries,

the approval does not, of itself, give an unconditional assurance of successful

operation on every PSTN network termination point. In the event of problems you

should contact your equipment supplier in the rst instance.

Notebook PC E-Manual

Overview

On 4th August 1998 the European Council Decision regarding the CTR 21 has

been published in the Ocial Journal of the EC. The CTR 21 applies to all non

voice terminal equipment with DTMF-dialling which is intended to be connected

to the analogue PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network).

CTR 21 (Common Technical Regulation) for the attachment requirements for

connection to the analogue public switched telephone networks of terminal

equipment (excluding terminal equipment supporting the voice telephony

justied case service) in which network addressing, if provided, is by means of

dual tone multi-frequency signalling.

Network Compatibility Declaration

Statement to be made by the manufacturer to the Notied Body and the vendor:

“This declaration will indicate the networks with which the equipment is designed

to work and any notied networks with which the equipment may have inter-

working diculties.”

Statement to be made by the manufacturer to the user: “This declaration will

indicate the networks with which the equipment is designed to work and any

notied networks with which the equipment may have inter-working diculties.

The manufacturer shall also associate a statement to make it clear where network

compatibility is dependent on physical and software switch settings. It will also

advise the user to contact the vendor if it is desired to use the equipment on

another network.”

Up to now the Notied Body of CETECOM issued several pan-European approvals

using CTR 21. The results are Europe’s rst modems which do not require

regulatory approvals in each individual European country.

Non-Voice Equipment

Answering machines and loud-speaking telephones can be eligible as well as

modems, fax machines, auto-dialers and alarm systems. Equipment in which the

end-to-end quality of speech is controlled by regulations (e.g. handset telephones

and in some countries also cordless telephones) is excluded.

(manufacturers may state in the user guide that the equipment is only intended to

support DTMF signalling, which would make any additional testing superuous).

In The Netherlands additional testing is required for series connection and caller

ID facilities.

Interference Statement

This device complies with FCC Rules Part 15. Operation is subject to the following

two conditions:

• Thisdevicemaynotcauseharmfulinterference.

• Thisdevicemustacceptanyinterferencereceived,includinginterference

that may cause undesired operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class

B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission

(FCC) rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against

harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses,

and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance

with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular

installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television

reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment o and on, the user

is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following

measures:

• Reorientorrelocatethereceivingantenna.

• Increasetheseparationbetweentheequipmentandreceiver.

• Consultthedealeroranexperiencedradio/TVtechnicianforhelp.

WARNING! The use of a shielded-type power cord is required in order to meet

FCC emission limits and to prevent interference to the nearby radio and television

reception. It is essential that only the supplied power cord be used. Use only shielded

cables to connect I/O devices to this equipment. You are cautioned that changes or

modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could

void your authority to operate the equipment.

RF Exposure Information (SAR)

This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.

This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for

exposure to radio ferquency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications

Commission of the U.S. Government.

The exposure standard employs a unit of measurement known as the Specic

Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are

conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the EUT

transmitting at the specied power level in dierent channels.

The highest SAR value for device as reported to the FCC is 1.21 W/kg when placed

next to the body.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported

SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR

information on this device is on le with the FCC and can be found under the

Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/eot/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID:

QDS-BRCM1082.

RF Exposure information (SAR) - CE

This device meets the EU requirements (1999/519/EC) on the limitation of

exposure of the general public to electromagnetic elds by way of health

protection.

The limits are part of extensive recommendations for the protection of the

general public. These recommendations have been developed and checked by

independent scientic organizations through regular and thorough evaluations

of scientic studies. The unit of measurement for the European Council’s

recommended limit for mobile devices is the “Specic Absorption Rate” (SAR),

and the SAR limit is 2.0 W/Kg averaged over 10 gram of body tissue. It meets

the requirements of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation

Protection (ICNIRP).

For next-to-body operation, this device has been tested and meets the ICNRP

exposure guidelines and the European Standard EN 50566 and EN 62209-2. SAR is

measured with the device directly contacted to the body while transmitting at the

highest certied output power level in all frequency bands of the mobile device.

Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure Information

The radiated output power of the Wireless Device is below the Industry Canada
