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.
