3Getting StartedRead Me FirstModels for U.S.A.Federal Communications Commission Radio Frequency Interference StatementNote: This equipment has been tested and found to comply withthe limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of theFCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonableprotection against harmful interference in a residential instal-lation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radiofrequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordancewith the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radiocommunications. However, there is no guarantee that interfer-ence will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipmentdoes 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 oneor 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 differentfrom that to which the receiver is connected.Consult the Panasonic Service Center or an experiencedradio/TV technician for help.WarningTo assure continued compliance, use only shielded interfacecables when connecting to a computer or peripheral. Also, anychanges or modiﬁcations not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority tooperate this equipment.This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

Manufacturers of the cellular terminal are advised to con-vey the following safety information to users and operating personnel and to incorporate these guidelines into all manuals suppliedwith the product. Failure to comply with these precautions violates safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of theproduct. 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 Computeror Handheld Computer incorporating wireless WAN modem off, if instructed to do so by the guidelines posted in sensitiveareas. Medical equipment may be sensitive to RF energy.The operation of cardiac pacemakers, other implanted medical equipment and hearing aids can be affected by interfer-ence from Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating wireless WAN modem 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 isproperly shielded. Pacemaker patients are advised to keep their Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporatingwireless WAN modem away from the pacemaker, while it is on.Switch off Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating wireless WAN modem before boarding an aircraft.Make sure it cannot be switched on inadvertently. The operation of wireless appliances in an aircraft is forbidden toprevent interference with communications systems. Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the suspension ordenial of cellular services to the offender, legal action, or both. Do not operate Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating wireless WAN modem in the presence of ﬂam-mable gases or fumes. Switch off the cellular terminal when you are near petrol stations, fuel depots, chemical plants orwhere blasting operations are in progress. Operation of any electrical equipment in potentially explosive atmospherescan constitute a safety hazard.Your Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating wireless WAN modem receives and transmits radio fre-quency energy while switched on. Remember that interference can occur if it is used close to TV sets, radios, computersor inadequately shielded equipment. Follow any special regulations and always switch off Personal Computer or Hand-held Computer incorporating wireless WAN modem wherever forbidden, or when you suspect that it may cause interfer-ence or danger. Road safety comes ﬁrst! Do not use a Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating wireless WAN modem while driving a vehicle. Do not place the computer with wireless WAN modem in an area where it could cause personalinjury 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 modem in an area over an air bag or in the vicinity where an air bag maydeploy. Air bags inﬂate with great force and if the computer with wireless WAN modem is placed in the air bag deployment area may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.IMPORTANT!Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating wireless WAN modem operate using radio signals and cellularnetworks cannot be guaranteed to connect in all conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any wirelessdevice for essential communications, for example emergency calls.Remember, in order to make or receive calls, Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating wireless WANmodem 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, 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 incorpo-rating wireless WAN modem.27-1-2

This is completely normal.Recharging will not commence if internal temperature of thebattery pack is outside of the allowable temperature range (0°C to 50 °C {32°F to 122 °F}).(Reference Manual “Battery Power”) Once the allow-able range requirement is satisﬁed, charging begins auto-matically. Note that the recharging time varies based on theusage conditions. (Recharging takes longer than usual whenthe temperature is10 °C {50 °F} or below.)If the temperature is low, the operating time is shortened.Only use the computer within the allowable temperaturerange.This computer has a high temperature mode function thatprevents the degradation of the battery in high temperatureenvironments. (Reference Manual “Battery Power”) A level corresponding to a 100% charge for high temperaturemode is approximately equivalent to an 80% charge level fornormal temperature mode.The battery pack is a consumable item. If the amount oftime the computer can be run by using a particular batterypack becomes dramatically shorter and repeated rechargingdoes not restore its performance, the battery pack should bereplaced with a new one.When transporting a spare battery inside a package, brief-case, etc., it is recommended that it be placed in a plasticbag so that its contacts are protected.Always power off the computer when it is not in use.
