Operating environment for using wireless function

(Optional)

Warning! For safety reasons, turn off all wireless or radio transmitting

devices when using your machine under the following conditions. These

devices may include, but are not limited to: wireless LAN (WLAN), Bluetooth

and/or 3G.

Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area, and always

switch off your device when its use is prohibited or when it may cause

interference or danger. Use the device only in its normal operating positions.

This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used normally, and it and its

antenna are positioned at least 1.5 centimeters (5/8 inches) away from your

body. It should not contain metal and you should position the device the above-

stated distance from your body.

To successfully transmit data files or messages, this device requires a good

quality connection to the network. In some cases, transmission of data files or

messages may be delayed until such a connection is available.

Ensure that the above separation distance instructions are followed until the

transmission is completed.

Parts of the device are magnetic. Metallic materials may be attracted to the

device, and persons with hearing aids should not hold the device to the ear with

the hearing aid. Do not place credit cards or other magnetic storage media near

the device, because information stored on them may be erased.

Medical devices

Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones, may

interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical devices.

Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine if

they are adequately shielded from external RF energy or if you have any

questions. Switch off your device in health care facilities when any regulations

posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities

may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF transmissions.

Pacemakers. Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation

of 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) be maintained between wireless devices and a

pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These

recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and

recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers

should do the following:

•Always keep the device more than 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) from the

pacemaker.

•Not carry the device near your pacemaker when the device is switched on.

If you suspect interference, switch off your device, and move it.

viii

Hearing aids. Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing

aids. If interference occurs, consult your service provider.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic

systems in motor vehicles such as electronic fuel injection systems, electronic

antiskid (antilock) braking systems, electronic speed control systems, and air bag

systems. For more information, check with the manufacturer, or its

representative, of your vehicle or any equipment that has been added. Only

qualified personnel should service the device, or install the device in a vehicle.

Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate any

warranty that may apply to the device. Check regularly that all wireless

equipment in your vehicle is mounted and operating properly. Do not store or

carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same compartment

as the device, its parts, or enhancements. For vehicles equipped with an air bag,

remember that air bags inflate with great force. Do not place objects, including

installed or portable wireless equipment in the area over the air bag or in the

air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly

installed, and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

Using your device while flying in aircraft is prohibited. Switch off your device

before boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless teledevices in an aircraft may be

dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone

network, and may be illegal.

Potentially explosive environments

Switch off your device when in any area with a potentially explosive

atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Potentially explosive

atmospheres include areas where you would normally be advised to turn off

your vehicle engine. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire

resulting in bodily injury or even death. Switch off the device at refueling points

such as near gas pumps at service stations. Observe restrictions on the use of

radio equipment in fuel depots, storage, and distribution areas; chemical plants;

or where blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive

atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include below deck

on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using liquefied

petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), and areas where the air contains

chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal powders.

Caution for Listening

To protect your hearing, follow these instructions.

•Increase the volume gradually until you can hear clearly and comfortably.

•Do not increase the volume level after your ears have adjusted.

•Do not listen to music at high volumes for extended periods.

•Do not increase the volume to block out noisy surroundings.

•Decrease the volume if you can't hear people speaking near you.
