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 to an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.

WARNING: Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation
The radiated output power of this device is below the FCC radio
frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the device should be used
in such a manner that the potential for human contact is minimized
during normal operation of tablet PCs and notebooks.
During normal operation of tablet PCs: To avoid the possibility of
exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity
to the antennae should not be less than 2.5 cm (1 inch).
During normal operation of notebooks: To avoid the possibility of
exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to
the antennae should not be less than 20 cm (8 inches), including when
the computer display is closed.
Ä
CAUTION: When using IEEE 802.11a wireless LAN, this product is
restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15- to 5.25-GHz
frequency range. The FCC requires this product to be used indoors
for the frequency range of 5.15 GHz to 5.25 GHz to reduce the
potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.
High power radar is allocated as the primary user of the 5.25- to
5.35-GHz and 5.65- to 5.85-GHz bands. These radar stations can
cause interference with and/or damage to this device.

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may
be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone
line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an
incoming call. In most but not all locations, 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 determined by the total
RENs, contact the local telephone company. For products
approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of
the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX.
The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point
(e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is
separately shown on the label.
If this HP equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the
telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary
discontinuance of service may be required. But, if advance notice
isn’t practical, the telephone company will notify you 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.
The telephone company may make changes to its facilities,
equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the
operation of the equipment. If this happens, the telephone
