CAUTION Internal components of the GoBook MAX (IX550) computer will be damaged if exposed to contaminants. When
dust covers, the PC card door, or the bottom access panel are open on the computer, shield the unit from all contaminants
such as liquids, rain, snow, and dust.
CAUTION "To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements this device must be operated with a minimum separation
distance of 20.0cm (8.0 inches) between the user/nearby persons and the antenna, with the antenna in the vertical upright
position, which is the intended operating position of the antenna when using the Sierra Wireless AirCard 555/550 CDMA

"The antenna location is fixed in the upper left edge of the display screen and is not to be relocated"
"The equipment has been approved to [Commission Decision "CTR21"] for pan-European single terminal connection to the
Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). However, due to differences between individual PSTNs provided in different
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 first instance.
