Information to the User

This product and your Health

This product, like other radio devices, emits radio frequency electromagnetic energy. The level

of energy emitted by this product however is far much less than the electromagnetic energy

emitted by wireless devices like for example mobile phones.

Because this product operates within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards

and recommendations, we believe this product is safe for use by consumers. These standards

and recommendations reflect the consensus of the scientific community and result from delib-

erations of panels and committees of scientists who continually review and interpret the exten-

sive research literature.

In some situations or environments, the use of this product may be restricted by the proprietor

of the building or responsible representatives of the organization. These situations may for

example include:

Using this product on board of airplanes, or

In any other environment where the risk of interference to other devices or services is per-

ceived or identified as harmful.

If you are uncertain of the policy that applies on the use of wireless devices in a specific

organization or environment (e.g. airports), you are encouraged to ask for authorization to use

this product prior to turning on the product.

Wireless LAN Antenna

NOTE

Wireless LAN communications are done via an antenna.

Please do not shield this antenna with the hand, etc. This

will negatively effect the performance of your wireless

LAN communications.

Check the marking on the computer.)

CF-28 with Wireless LAN (CF-WWL282) & Modem Port

CF-28 with Wireless LAN (CF-WWL282) & LAN Port

1. This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On

the computer is a label that contains, among other informa-

tion, the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence

number (REN) for this equipment. If required, this informa-

tion must be provided to the telephone company.

2. An FCC compliant telephone cord and modular plug is pro-

vided with this equipment. This equipment is designed to be

connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using

a compatible modular jack which is Part 68 compliant. See

Installation Instructions for details.

3. The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which

may be connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on

the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in

response to an incoming call. In most, but not all area, the

sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of

the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as

determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone

company.

4. If your telephone equipment cause harm to the telephone net-

work, the telephone company will notify you in advice that

temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if

advice notice isn’t practical, the telephone company will no-

tify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be ad-

vised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you

believe it is necessary.

5. The telephone company may take changes in it’s facilities,

equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the op-

eration of the equipment. If this happens the telephone com-

pany will provide advance notice in order for you to make

necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.

6. If trouble is experienced with this equipment, for repair or

warranty information, please contact Matsushita Electric

Corporation of America at DIAL TOLL FREE 1-800-

LAPTOP5 (1-800-527-8675). If the equipment is causing

harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may

request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem

is resolved.

7. There are no user serviceable parts contained in this equipment.

8. This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by

the telephone company. Connection to party lines is subject

to state tariffs.

9. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it

unlawful for any person to use a computer or other electronic

device to send any message via a telephone fax machine un-

less such message clearly contains in a margin at the top or

bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the

transmission, the date and time it is sent and an identification

of the business or other entry, or other individual sending the

message and the telephone number of the sending machine

or such business, other entity, or individual. In order to pro-

gram this information into your fax software, you should re-

fer to the manual of the Fax software being used.

10.According to the FCC’s electrical safety advisory, we recom-

mend that you may install an AC surge arrestor in the AC outlet

to which this equipment is connected. Telephone companies

report that electrical surges, typically lightning transients, are

very destructive to customer terminal equipment connected to

AC power sources and that this is a major nationwide problem.

“Caution: To reduce the risk of fire, use only No.26 AWG or larger telecom-

munication line cord.”

“ATTENTION: Pour réduire le risque d’incendie, utiliser uniquement des

conducteurs de télécommunications 26 AWG ou de section supérieure.”

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 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
