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 instructions, 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 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:
•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.
FCC Caution: To assure continued compliance, follow the attached installation instructions and use only
shielded interface cable when connecting to computer or peripheral devices. Any changes or
modifications not expressly approved by Panasonic Corp. of North America could void the user’s
authority to operate this device.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and
maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference
to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power
(e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.

Do not alter the unit or modify any parts. Alteration or
modification can cause fire or electric shock.
CHOKING HAZARD
Keep the penpoint and battery out of reach of children
to prevent swallowing.
Use only the specified type of battery. Using the
incorrect type of battery can result in overheating/
burning or leakage of battery acid.
Make sure that the battery is installed with the correct
polarity as indicated on the battery holder. Incorrectly
installed batteries may burst or leak, resulting in
injuries.
Do not use the damaged batteries. Using damaged
batteries may result in leaking.
Do not short, heat, break or throw in a fire, as it may
result in the battery leaking, generating heat, or
bursting.
When disposing of the battery, cover the battery
contacts with insulation (ex. tape). Direct contact with
other batteries may result in leaking, fire, or explosion.
Do not solder the battery, as it may result in the battery
leaking, generating heat, or bursting.
Remove empty batteries immediately to avoid battery
fluid leakage.
Avoid contact of battery fluid with eyes, skin or
clothing, as this may result in irritation or injury. In
these cases, do not rub the affected area, and rinse
thoroughly with clean water.
Do not use near medical equipment.
(Do not bring into a surgery room, intensive care unit,
critical care unit, etc.)
Electromagnetic waves generated by this device can
affect equipment, and can cause equipment to
malfunction.
Do not use near automatic doors, smoke detectors
and other automatically controlled equipment.
Electromagnetic waves generated by this device can
affect equipment, and can cause equipment to
malfunction.
Use at least 22 cm (9 in.) away from pacemakers.
Electromagnetic waves generated by this device can
affect the operation of pacemakers.
When the unit is not used over an extended period of
time, take the batteries out of the unit. Otherwise, the
batteries may leak. Do not use the leaked batteries.
CAUTION
Safety Precautions

Precautions
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user’s authority to operate this device.
About Using the Battery
If a battery is used improperly, the battery may leak,
causing corrosion of the unit, or it may burst. To
prevent this, always follow the precaution given below.
•If the electronic pen ceases to function because the
battery has run out, remove it immediately and
dispose of it according to local regulations. Leaving a
drained battery in the electronic pen may result in
leakage.
Other Information
Usage Note
Operating the electronic pen and the electronic
pen adapter near electrical appliances may cause
interference. Move away from the electrical
appliances such as TVs, radios, cordless phone,
or wireless devices.
MEDICAL
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical
devices, such as pacemakers, to determine if they
are adequately shielded from external RF (radio
frequency) energy. (The unit operates in the
frequency range of 2.405 GHz to 2.480 GHz, and
the power output level is 1 milliwatts.) Do not use
the unit in health care facilities if any regulations
posted in the area instruct you not to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using
equipment that could be sensitive to external RF
(radio frequency) energy.
A nickel metal hydride battery that is
recyclable powers the product you have
purchased.
Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for
information on how to recycle this
battery.
No responsibility will be taken by our company
with respect to consequences resulting from the
use, damage or both of the equipment.

•Do not push down hard on the Pen tip.
•If there is surface contamination of the electronic pen, wipe it off with a soft cloth.
For heavy contamination, wipe it off with a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap solution after squeezing water
out of the cloth, and then dry the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Ingress of water droplets may cause a failure.
•Do not drop the electronic pen because it may get broken or malfunction.
•Do not use the pen tip if foreign material is adhering to it or if it is deformed or damaged.
Doing so may dirty or scratch the screen.
•Do not store the electronic pen with its pen tip pressed. If it is stored in an ordinary pen stand, the pen
tip will be kept pressed and that may weaken the internal spring or damage the pen tip.
•Because it is protruding, be careful not to bump or catch any object on the pen tip of the electronic
pen. Also if this part is covered, the electronic pen will not function correctly.
•Do not use the electronic pen for other purposes than operating the Interactive Plasma Display.
