3Getting StartedRead Me FirstModels for U.S.A.Federal Communications Commission Radio Frequency Interference StatementNote: 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 instal-lation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interfer-ence will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does 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 one or more of the following measures:l Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.l Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.l Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.l 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 or peripheral. Also, any changesormodicationsnotexpresslyapprovedbythepartyresponsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate 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 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 modem 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 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 is properly shielded. Pacemaker patients are advised to keep their Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating wireless 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 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modeminthepresenceofam-mable 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 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, computers or 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rst!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 personal injury to the driver or passengers.

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 level corresponding to a 100% charge for high temperature 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.Read Me First
