The following section is a general overview of considerations while operating a wireless device.
Additional limitations, cautions, and concerns for specific countries are listed in the specific country
sections (or country group sections). The wireless devices in your system are only qualified for use in
Radio and Telecom Terminal Equipment Directive 1999/5/EC as per
- CTR21 (if fitted with a modem device)
- ETS 300 328-2 (if fitted with a 2.4 GHz band embedded wireless device)
- ETS 301 489-17 (if fitted with a 2.4 GHz band embedded wireless device)
European radio approval information (for products fitted with EU-approved radio devices)
This Product is a Notebook computer; low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF)
wireless communication devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz band, may be present (embedded) in your
notebook system which is intended for home or office use. This section is only applicable if these devices
are present. Refer to the system label to verify the presence of wireless devices.
Wireless devices that may be in your system are only qualified for use in the European Union or
associated areas if a CE mark with a Notified Body Registration Number and the Alert Symbol is on the

, care should be taken to minimize human contact during normal operation. As a general guideline,
a separation of 20 cm (8 inches) between the wireless device and the body, for use of a wireless device
near the body (this does not include extremities) is typical. This device should be used more than 20 cm
restrictions on wireless devices. Examples of common restrictions are listed below:
1. Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere with equipment on commercial aircraft.
Current aviationregulations require wireless devices to be turned off while traveling in an airplan.
802.11B (also known as wirelessEthernet or Wifi) and Bluetooth communication devices are
examples of devices that provide wireless communication.
2. In environments where the risk of interference to other devices or services is harmful or
perceived as harmful, theoption to use a wireless device may be restricted or eliminated.

use of wireless devices may be restricted or eliminated. Whenin environments where you are
uncertain of the sanction to use wireless devices, ask the applicable authority forauthorizationprior
to use or turning on the wireless device.
3. Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless devices. Since your system is equipped
with awireless device, when traveling between countries with your system, check with the local
Radio Approvalauthorities prior to any move or trip for any restrictions on the use of a wireless
device in the destination country.
