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. Exces-sive 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 connected to a line, as deter-mined 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.

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 Wireless WAN 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 Wireless WAN 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 Wireless WAN away from the pacemaker, while it is on.Switch off Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating Wireless WAN 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 Wireless WAN 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 Wireless WAN 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 Wireless WAN 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 Wireless WAN while driving a vehicle. Do not place the computer with Wireless WAN 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 Wireless WAN 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 Wireless WAN is placed in the air bag deployment area may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.Safety Precautions
5Getting StartedUseful InformationTroubleshootingAppendixIMPORTANT!Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating Wireless WAN 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 Wireless WAN 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 Wireless WAN.Industry Canada (IC) Notice for modemThis equipment contains an Industry Canada approved modem unit.The Industry Canada label is affixed on the modem unit.EQUIPMENT ATTACHEMENT LIMITATIONS“NOTICE: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equip-ment. This certification means that the equipment meets tele-communications network protective, operational and safety requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equip-ment Technical Requirements document(s). The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local tele-communications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. The cus-tomer should be aware that compliance with the above condi-tions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a rep-resentative designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alter-ations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas. Caution: Users should not attempt to make such con-nections themselves, but should contact the appropriate elec-tric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.”“NOTICE: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface.
