Personal ComputerSupplementary Instructions®This Supplementary Instructions manual explains how to get started with a wireless LAN andpoint out cases where the operation of the computer will differ from that in the Operating Instruc-tions and the Reference Manuals.CF-R1/CF-T1 Series with Wireless LAN1Information to the UserThis product and your HealthThis product, like other radio devices, emits radio frequency electromagnetic energy. The levelof energy emitted by this product however is far much less than the electromagnetic energyemitted by wireless devices like for example mobile phones.Because this product operates within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety standardsand recommendations, we believe this product is safe for use by consumers. These standardsand 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 ofthe building or responsible representatives of the organization. These situations may for ex-ample include:Using this product on board of airplanes, orIn 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 organi-zation or environment (e.g. airports), you are encouraged to ask for authorization to use thisproduct prior to turning on the product.Regulatory InformationWe are not responsible for any radio or television interference caused by unauthorized modifi-cation of this product. The correction of interference caused by such unauthorized modificationwill be the responsibility of the user. We and its authorized resellers or distributors are not liablefor damage or violation of government regulations that may arise from failing to comply withthese guidelines.Illustrations in this ManualWindows 2000 : Information for Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Professional users.Windows XP : Information for Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional users.Communication is performed through the wireless LAN antenna. Do not block the antennaarea with your hand or otherwise interfere with the passage of the radio signals.CAUTIONNOTEThe communication speeds and distances differ depending on the devices that supportthe wireless LAN, the installation environment and other ambient conditions.One characteristic of radio waves is that their transmission rate tends to drop as thecommunication distance increases. It is recommended that the devices supporting thewireless LAN be used in close vicinity to each other.The rate may drop while a microwave oven is being used.Wireless LAN Antenna
2Federal Communications Commission Radio Frequency Interference StatementNote: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digitaldevice, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonableprotection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, usesand can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruc-tions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee thatinterference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interfer-ence 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 isconnected.Consult the Panasonic Service Center or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.WarningTo assure continued compliance, use only shielded interface cables when connecting to a computer orperipheral. Also, any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible forcompliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
