APPENDIX A: Legal Information

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 the countries identified by the Radio Approval
Marks on the system rating label. If the country you will be using the wireless device
in, is not listed, please contact your local Radio Approval agency for requirements.
Wireless devices are closely regulated and use may not be allowed.
The power output of the wireless device or devices that may be embedded in your
notebook is well below the RF exposure limits as known at this time. Because the
wireless devices (which may be embedded into your notebook) emit less energy than
is allowed in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, Gateway
believes these devices are safe for use. Regardless of the power levels, care should
be taken to minimize human contact during normal operation.
Measurements have been performed to show that the RF exposure is below what is
considered safe limits; however care should be taken to make sure the user or
bystanders keep the transmitter away from their body when the wireless device is
transmitting. The transmitting antenna installed in the top third of the lid should
be used in a manner to maintain 8 inches (20 cm) from user’s or bystander’s bodies.
The wireless devices installed in this system are intended to be used indoors. In some
areas, use of these devices outdoors is prohibited.
Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices.
United States of America
Warning
In environments where the risk of interference to other
devices or services is harmful or perceived as harmful, the option to
use a wireless device may be restricted or eliminated. Airports,
Hospitals, and Oxygen or flammable gas laden atmospheres are
limited examples where use of wireless devices may be restricted or
eliminated. When in environments where you are uncertain of the
sanction to use wireless devices, ask the applicable authority for
authorization prior to use or turning on the wireless device.
Warning
If your notebook came equipped with an internal embedded
wireless device, do not operate the wireless device unless all covers
and shields are in place and the notebook is fully assembled.
Caution
Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify them
in any way. Modification to a wireless device will void the
authorization to use it. Please contact Gateway for service.
Caution
Only use drivers approved for the country in which the device
will be used. See the Gateway System Restoration Kit, or contact
Gateway Customer Care for additional information.
Important
Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless
devices. Since your notebook is equipped with a wireless device,
when traveling between countries with your notebook, check with
the local Radio Approval authorities prior to any move or trip for
any restrictions on the use of a wireless device in the destination
country.
Caution
Wireless devices are not user-serviceable. Do not modify them
in any way. Modification to a wireless device will void the
authorization to use it. Contact Gateway for service.
