Federal Communications Commission Radio
Frequency Interference Statement
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the 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 off 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.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the Panasonic Service Center or an experienced ra-
dio/TV technician for help.
Warning
To assure continued compliance, use only shielded interface
cables when connecting to a computer or peripheral. Also, any
changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate this equipment.
FCC RF Exposure Warning:
• This computer is provided with PC Card slots that could be
used with wireless transmitter(s), which will be specifically
recommended, when they become available. Other third-party
wireless transmitter(s) have not been RF exposure evaluated
for use with this computer and may not comply with FCC RF
exposure requirements.
• This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits
set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
• This equipment must be installed and operated in accordance
with provided instructions and minimum 1.5 cm spacing must
be provided between antenna and all person’s body (exclud-
ing extremities of hands, wrist and feet) during wireless modes
of operation.
• This equipment may use multiple installed transmitters, which
may be capable of simultaneous transmission.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.

About Bluetooth
Communications are conducted via a Bluetooth antenna.
Do not do anything to block the radio waves, for example by obstructing the antenna
segment with your hand.
Communication speeds and distances may vary depending on surrounding condi-
tions, such as the other device sending or receiving communications and the instal-
lation environment.
It is a characteristic of radio waves that communication speeds will tend to decrease
as the communication distance increases. We recommend that communications be-
tween Bluetooth devices be conducted in as close proximity as possible.
Communication speeds may decrease if a microwave oven is being used nearby.
