Precautions
Safety Precautions
The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of the operation, usage, service or repair of any Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating GSM/
GPRS modem. Manufacturers of the cellular terminal are advised to convey the following
safety information to users and operating personnel and to incorporate these guidelines into
all manuals supplied with the product. Failure to comply with these precautions violates
safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of the product. Panasonic assumes no liability for customer failure to comply with these precautions.
When in a hospital or other health care facility, observe the restrictions on the use
of mobiles. Switch Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating GSM/
GPRS modem off, if instructed to do so by the guidelines posted in sensitive
areas. Medical equipment may be sensitive to RF energy.
The operation of cardiac pacemakers, other implanted medical equipment and
hearing aids can be affected by interference from Personal Computer or Handheld
Computer incorporating GSM/GPRS modem placed close to the device. If in
doubt about potential danger, contact the physician or the manufacturer of the
device to verify that the equipment is properly shielded. Pacemaker patients are
advised to keep their Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating
GSM/GPRS modem away from the pacemaker, while it is on.
Switch off Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating GSM/GPRS
modem before boarding an aircraft. Make sure it cannot be switched on inadvertently.
The operation of wireless appliances in an aircraft is forbidden to prevent interference
with communications systems. Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the
suspension or denial of cellular services to the offender, legal action, or both.
Do not operate Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating GSM/
GPRS modem in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Switch off the cellular terminal when you are near petrol stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or
where blasting operations are in progress. Operation of any electrical equipment
in potentially explosive atmospheres can constitute a safety hazard.
Your Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating GSM/GPRS modem receives and transmits radio frequency energy while switched on. Remember
that interference can occur if it is used close to TV sets, radios, computers or inadequately shielded equipment. Follow any special regulations and always switch off
Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating GSM/GPRS modem wherever forbidden, or when you suspect that it may cause interference or danger.
Road safety comes first! Do not use a Personal Computer or Handheld Computer
incorporating GSM/GPRS modem while driving a vehicle. Do not place the computer with GSM/GPRS modem in an area where it could cause personal injury to the
driver or passengers. It is recommended to stow the unit in the boot or secure stowage
area while driving.
Do not place the computer with GSM/GPRS modem in an area over an air bag or in the
vicinity where an air bag may deploy.
Air bags inflate with great force and if the computer with GSM/GPRS modem is
placed in the air bag deployment area may be propelled with great force and cause
serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
IMPORTANT!
Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating GSM/GPRS modem
operate using radio signals and cellular networks cannot be guaranteed to connect in all conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any wireless
device for essential communications, for example emergency calls.
Remember, in order to make or receive calls, Personal Computer or Handheld
Computer incorporating GSM/GPRS modem must be switched on and in a service area with adequate cellular signal strength.
Some networks do not allow for emergency calls if certain network services or
phone features are in use (e.g. lock functions, fixed dialing etc.). You may need to
deactivate those features before you can make an emergency call.
Some networks require that a valid SIM card be properly inserted in Personal
Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating GSM/GPRS modem.
Precautions
For U.S.A.
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 radio/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
(excluding 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
