IMPORTANT!
Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating wireless WAN modem 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
modem 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 func-
tions,xed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 incorpo-
rating wireless WAN modem. 27-1-2

External Antenna
FCC RF Exposure Warning:
This equipment is provided with external antenna connector(s)
for connection to optional Car Mounter or Port Replicator for
mobile external mounted antenna(s). External antenna(s)
must be professionally installed and cannot exceed recom-
mended maximum antenna gain as described in individual
provided supplement instructions for wireless transmitters.
The maximum allowable antenna gain for the external WWAN
base whip antenna for the cellular band is 7.0 dBi and PCS
band is 3.5 dBi. Also, user must maintain minimum 20 cm
spacing between external antenna(s) and all person’s body
(excluding extremities of hands, wrist and feet) during wire-
less modes of operation. 32-M-1-1
<For Canada>
This device has been designed to operate with the WWAN
antenna having a maximum gain of 7.0 dB for the cellular band
and 3.5 dB for the PCS band. WWAN Antenna having a higher
gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada.
The Required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the an-
tenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent
isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that re-
quired for successful communication.

NOTE
l The battery pack may become warm during recharging or
normal use. This is completely normal.
l Recharging will not commence if internal temperature of the
battery pack is outside of the allowable temperature range (0
°C to 50 °C {32°F to 122 °F}).
(è Reference Manual “Battery Power”) Once the allow-
ablerangerequirementissatised,chargingbeginsauto-
matically. Note that the recharging time varies based on the
usage conditions. (Recharging takes longer than usual when
the temperature is
10 °C {50 °F} or below.)
l If the temperature is low, the operating time is shortened.
Only use the computer within the allowable temperature
range.
l This computer has a high temperature mode function that
prevents the degradation of the battery in high temperature
environments. (è Reference Manual “Battery Power”) A

mode is approximately equivalent to an 80% charge level for
normal temperature mode.
l The battery pack is a consumable item. If the amount of
time the computer can be run by using a particular battery
pack becomes dramatically shorter and repeated recharging
does not restore its performance, the battery pack should be
replaced with a new one.
l When transporting a spare battery inside a package, brief-
case, etc., it is recommended that it be placed in a plastic
bag so that its contacts are protected.
l Always power off the computer when it is not in use. Leaving
the computer on when the AC adaptor is not connected will
exhaust the remaining battery capacity.
