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 ex-
ample 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 organi-
zation or environment (e.g. airports), you are encouraged to ask for authorization to use this
product prior to turning on the product.
Regulatory Information
We 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 modification
will be the responsibility of the user. We and its authorized resellers or distributors are not liable
for damage or violation of government regulations that may arise from failing to comply with

Communication is performed through the wireless LAN antenna. Do not block the antenna
area with your hand or otherwise interfere with the passage of the radio signals.
CAUTION
NOTE
The communication speeds and distances differ depending on the devices that support
the wireless LAN, the installation environment and other ambient conditions.
One characteristic of radio waves is that their transmission rate tends to drop as the
communication distance increases. It is recommended that the devices supporting the
wireless LAN be used in close vicinity to each other.
The rate may drop while a microwave oven is being used.

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 instruc-
tions, 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 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 is
connected.
Consult the Panasonic Service Center or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
