3. Wireless LAN
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. FC-N21S has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set
forth for an uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65. Please
refer to the SAR test report that was uploaded at FCC website.
The following safety precautions should be observed:
Do not touch or move antenna while the unit is transmitting or receiving.
Do not hold any component containing the radio such that the antenna is very close or touching any exposed parts of the body,
especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.
Do not operate the radio or attempt to transmit data unless the antenna is connected; if not, the radio may be damaged.
Use in specific environments:
The use of wireless devices in hazardous locations is limited by the constraints posed by the safety directors of such
environments.
The use of wireless devices on airplanes is governed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
The use of wireless devices in hospitals is restricted to the limits set forth by each hospital.
Antenna use:
High-gain, wall-mount, or mast-mount antennas are designed to be professionally installed and should be located at a
minimum distance of 30 cm (12 inches) or more from the body of all persons.
Please contact your professional installer, VAR, or antenna manufacturer for proper installation requirements.
Explosive Device Proximity Warning
WARNING Do not operate a portable transmitter (such as a wireless network device) near unshielded blasting caps or
in an explosive environment unless the device has been modified to be qualified for such use
Antenna Warning
WARNING FC-N21S series are not designed for use with high-gain directional antennas.

The LCD display is manufactured based on extremely high-precise technology. However, dot drops (such as negligible black
points and red, blue or green points always illuminating) may appear on a part of the screen. In addition, color and/or
brightness irregularities may appear depending on view angles. These are caused by characteristics of LCD displays and do not
indicate any defects.
8:
The touch panel is unavailable under USB locking.
9:
The base dot drop rate is calculated in sub-pixels according to the standard of ISO13406-2.
See http://www.express.nec.co.jp/products/pc/lcddot.html for details.
10: The feature allows an external display for desktop screen to be different from the LCD display of FC-N21S.
11: 16.77 million color display is accomplished by the dithering feature of graphic accelerator.
12: FC-N21S has the resolution and the number of colors. However, FC-N21S cannot realize them depending on the resolution and
refresh rate of the connected display. The LCD display on FC-N21S and the external display connected to FC-N21S can
display the same screen. However, if the enlarged display feature is not used, display data may not extend to all over the

Chapter 2 Installation Guide
This chapter describes the notes on installations and connections of FC-N21S and peripherals. See this chapter to install FC-N21S and
peripherals appropriately.
2.1 PROPER OPERATION OF FC-N21S
To operate FC-N21S properly, follow the notes described below.
(1) Notes on installation place
Install FC-N21S in a place where it can be operated properly. See "2.2 Notes on Use of FC-N21S in FA Environment" for details.
(2) Notes on operation
1.
Before connecting or disconnecting cables to/from peripherals (excluding USB devices and PC and SD cards), confirm that the
power of FC-N21S is OFF. Connecting or disconnecting the relevant cable to/from a peripheral with the power of FC-N21S being
ON may cause a malfunction or fault to occur.
2.
After turning off the power of FC-N21S, wait for five seconds or longer before the power is turned on again. Turning on the
power just after turn-off without a certain interval may cause a malfunction or fault to occur.
3.
Clean FC-N21S periodically.
(3) Notes on storage and use environment of FC-N21S
1.
FC-N21S is a VCCI Class B information technology equipment (or information equipment mainly intended to be used in
household environments) conforming to the reference level of the Voluntary Control Council for Interference by Information
Technology Equipment (VCCI).
However, if FC-N21S is used near a radio, TV and/or wireless device, FC-N21S may cause poor receptions.
On the other hand, a device generating intense magnetic field is located near FC-N21S, noises may have bad influence on
FC-N21S to operate inappropriately. If this occurs, take FC-N21S away from such a device.
2.
To use FC-N21S in an FA environment, always make FC-N21S meet the conditions described in "1.3 Environmental
Specification (Main Unit)".
(4) Notes on cable connections
1.
Use cables authorized by NEC.
To connect FC-N21S with peripheral devices, use respective cables with connector shapes and signal alignments meeting those of
FC-N21S and the peripheral devices.
2.
Neither pull cables intensely and nor put objects on cables.
Install peripheral devices at locations where cables connected to the devices may not be pulled excessively. Avoid using FC-N21S
if cables are stretched intensely and/or objects are put on cables.
3.
Insert connectors to mating ones securely.
Inserting connectors loosely may cause FC-N21S and peripheral devices not to operate at all or operate invalidly.
(5) Notes on handling and use of HDD
Hard disk drives are precision devices.
FC-N21S can protect the built-in hard disk drive with buffer materials. However, note the following to protect data.
1.
Do not apply shocks and vibrations exceeding over those defined in the environmental specification to FC-N21C.
2.
Keep hard disk in the hard disk drive from being subject to strong shocks if the drive is removed from FC-N21S.
2.2 NOTES ON USE OF FC-N21S IN FA ENVIRONMENT
Note the following particularly to allow FC-N21S to be used in FA environments.
(1) Dust-proof and drip-proof and performance
FC-N21S is designed to have high seal performance to prevent liquid and dust from being entered into it from any directions.
FC-N21S can be used outdoor if it rains and handled with wet and/or dirt hands.
With optional dust-proof and drop-proof cables (FC-N015/FC-N016), FC-N21S has drip-proof and dust-proof performance
conforming to IP54 if it connects with one or more external devices.
Dust-proof performance:
Protection class IP5x means that a device of the class cannot completely avoid entry of dust but the dust do not interrupt the
defined operations and safety of the device.
To make dust-proof performance effective, the connector, HDD, battery and memory covers must be closed appropriately.
Drip-proof performance:
Protection class Ipx4 means that a device of the class is not affected by spray from every angle (by a spray nozzle).
FC-N21S should be provided with maintenance including water wiping and drying so that FC-N21S does not be left wet for a
long period.
To make drop-proof performance effective, the connector, HDD, battery and memory covers must be closed appropriately.
Place and operate FC-N21S with its bottom facing downward.
Use optional drop-proof cables as those connected to the power connector and LAN and serial ports. Use
connectors connected to other ports with their connector covers closed securely.
(2) Operating temperature range
FC-N21S of wide temperature type can operate in the temperature range between -20ºC and 50ºC while FC-N21S of other types
operate in temperature range between 5ºC and 45ºC.
To allow FC-N21S to be used in the wide temperature range (–20 to 50ºC), the main unit, HDD and battery should all be available in
the wide temperature range.
In environment at a high temperature, the main unit may be heated. If so, wear gloves not to make your hands contact with the unit
directly.
To suppress heat generation, the performance of FC-N21S may be restricted automatically.
In environment at a low temperature, the battery driving time is shortened.
In addition, the LCD display can make responses slower.
FC-N21S in the tablet mode or the battery charging state and the AC adapter should be used in ambient
temperature range 5 to 40ºC.
(3) Shock resistance
The chassis of FC-N21S is made of magnesium die-casting alloy and equipped with a hard disk drive subjected to shock resistance.
FC-N21S is designed to have the strength of enduring the test in which it is dropped from a height of 90 cm to plywood or concrete
floor.
The shock resistance of FC-N21S does not guarantee no damages and faults.
FC-N21S damaged by shocks may reduce its dust-proof and drop-proof performance as well as the shock
resistance. Accordingly, it is recommend to repair damaged FC-N21S.
(4) Vibration resistance
(5) Continuous operation of FC-N21S for long period
If FC-N21S is operated continuously for a long period, deterioration of life parts in FC-N21S may be accelerated. Therefore, NEC
may charge the repair of FC-N21S defected due to continuous operation for a long period within the warranty period.
In particular, NEC recommends use of a silicon disk drive for FC-N21S operated continuously for a long period.
If a hard disk drive (HDD) is used, leave the HDD rested periodically to reduce deterioration caused by continuous operation.
Operation sample:
The power management may be set by OS (Windows) to halt the HDD automatically if accessing to hard disks does not occur for
a certain period:
Period set at shipment: 30 minutes (when FC-N21S is connected to AC power)
Recommended period: 3 minutes (when FC-N21S is connected to AC power)

3.2 TURNING ON/OFF POWER
This section describes how to turn on or off the power of FC-N21S and power saving features (including suspend (standby) and pause
states).
Take special note on turning off the power. If you turn off the power of FC-N21S improperly, not only data and programs but also the
machine itself may be broken.
3.2.1 Power States and Operations
3.2.1.1 Power states
The power states of FC-N21S is divided into four states, or power-off, power-on, suspend (standby) and pause states. These states are
changed as follows:
Turn on power.
Suspend
(Standby)
Turn off power.
Power-off or
pause state
Return from
pause state
Power-on
state
Suspend
(standby) state
Resume
Enter into pause
state
(1) Power-off state
In the power-off state, FC-N21S is not used at all due to shutdown of Windows or another exit operation.
(2) Power-on state
In the power-on state, FC-N21S is used normally.
(3) Suspend (standby) state
In the suspend (standby) state, working data is saved in memory temporarily and power consumption is suppressed by suspending
the motors for the hard disk drive and other devices and entering the LCD display into power saving state only with supply of
power for keeping memory data.
Because working data is saved in memory, FC-N21S can immediately return to the original state at recovery from the suspend
(standby) state.
* Some OSs cannot enter FC-N21S into the suspend (standby) state.
(4) Pause state
Specifying the pause state allows the power of FC-N21S to be turned off after all memory data is saved in the hard disk drive. If
the power is turned on again, FC-N21S is recovered to the same state as that at the power-off. Due to the power-off, it takes a
longer time for recovery from the pause state than for recovery from the suspend (standby) state.
* Some OSs cannot enter FC-N21S into the pause state.
The power lamp changes its illuminating states depending on power states.

1.
Turning on power (in either of the following two ways)
Press the power switch.
Connect the AC cable to FC-N21S (if "power state at AC power-on" of BIOS is set to "ON")
WARNING
Do not use this product if dusts are accumulated on the AC power cord plug.
With dust accumulated power plug, the electrical discharge (tracking) occurs between plug pins
and it may cause a fire.
Always hold the plugs of the AC cord in its removal. Do not pull the cord.
Breaking of wire may cause a fire.
Do not pull the AC cord forcibly or put any heavy object on it.
Breaking of wire may cause a fire and/or electric shock.

To avoid improper operations, FC-N21S is so designed that the power is turned on only by pressing the
power switch for 1 to 2 sec consciously.
If FC-N21S is activated only by the battery, it takes 1 to 2 sec to turn on LEDs after depression of the power
switch. This is because FC-N21S is so designed as to prevent battery power from being consumed by
turning off all powers including the standby power in the power-off state. This does not occur in use of
"WakeOnLAN", since the standby power remains to sense LAN signals.
2.
Turning off power (in either of the following two ways)
Press the power switch.
Select [Turn Off Computer] in the Windows Start menu and click [Turn off].
3.
Entering FC-N21S into suspend (standby) state (in any of the following three ways)
