3Getting StartedUseful InformationTroubleshootingAppendixRead Me FirstFederal Communications Commission Radio Fre-quency Interference StatementNote: 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 rea-sonable 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 accor-dance 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 televi-sion reception, which can be determined by turning the equip-ment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:zReorient or relocate the receiving antenna.zIncrease the separation between the equipment and receiver.zConnect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit differ-ent from that to which the receiver is connected.zConsult the Panasonic Service Center or an experi-enced radio/TV technician for help.WarningTo assure continued compliance, use only shielded inter-face 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:<Only for model with wireless LAN/wireless WAN/Bluetooth>zThis equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.zThis equipment has been approved for mobile opera-tion, and unless otherwise advised in separate supple-mental instructions for individual wireless transmitter(s), requires minimum 20 cm spacing be provided between antenna(s) and all person’s body (excluding extremities of hands, wrist and feet) during wireless modes of oper-ation.zThis equipment is provided with PC Card slot that could be used with wireless transmitters, which will be specifi-cally recommended when they become available.Other third-party wireless transmitters have not been RF exposure evaluated for use with this computer and may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements.25-M-4-3 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 opera-tion.Responsible Party: Panasonic Corporation of North AmericaOne Panasonic WaySecaucus, NJ 07094Tel No:1-800-LAPTOP5 (1-800-527-8675)6-M-1FCC Regulation Notice for modemThis equipment contains a FCC approved modem.1. This equipment complies with CFR47 Part 68 rules. On the computer is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If required, this information must be provided to the tele-phone company.2. An FCC compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided 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 Instruc-tions 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 con-nected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company.4. If your telephone equipment cause harm to the tele-phone network, 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 notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.5. The telephone company may take changes in its facili-ties, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens the telephone company 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 Panasonic Corporation of North 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 equip-ment until the problem is resolved.7.
