For U.S.A.

Federal Communications Commission Radio Frequency 

Interference Statement

Note: 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.

Warning

To assure continued compliance, use only shielded interface 

cables when connecting to a computer or peripheral.  Also, any 

changes or modifications 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. Operation 

is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and

(2) This device must accept any interference received, including 

interference that may cause undesired operation.

FCC RF Exposure Warning:

l

<Only for model with wireless LAN>

This product is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in 

the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency range. FCC requires this prod-

uct to be used indoors for the frequency range 5.15 to 5.25 GHz 

to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel 

Mobile Satellite systems. High power radars are allocated as 

primary users of the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz and 5.65 to 5.85 GHz

FCC Regulation Notice for modem 

This equipment contains a FCC approved modem.

1.  This equipment complies with CFR47 Part 68 rules.  

On the computer is a label that contains, among other infor-

mation, the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence 

number (REN) for this equipment. If required, this informa-

tion must be provided to the telephone company.

2.  An FCC compliant telephone cord and modular plug is 

provided with this equipment. This equipment is designed to 

be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring 

using a compatible modular jack which is Part 68 compliant. 

See Installation Instructions for details.

3.  The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which 

may be connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs 

on the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in 

response to an incoming call. In most, but not all area, 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.

4.  If your telephone equipment cause harm to the telephone 

network, the telephone company will notify you in advice that 

temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But 

if advice notice isn’t practical, the telephone company will 

notify the customer 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.

5.  The telephone company may take changes in its facilities, 

equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the 

operation of the equipment. If this happens the telephone 

company will provide advance notice in order for you to 

make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted 

service.

6.  If trouble is experienced with this equipment, for repair or 

warranty information, please contact Panasonic Corpora-

tion of North America at DIAL TOLL FREE 1-800-LAPTOP5 

(1-800-527-8675). If the equipment is causing harm to the 

telephone network, the telephone company may request that 

you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.

7.  There are no user serviceable parts contained in this equip-

ment.

8.  This equipment may not be used on coin service provided 

by the telephone company. Connection to party lines is sub-

ject to state tariffs.

9.  The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it 

unlawful for any person to use a computer or other electron-

ic device to send any message via a telephone fax machine 

unless such message clearly contains in a margin at the top 

or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the 

transmission, the date and time it is sent and an identifica-

tion of the business or other entry, or other individual send-

ing the message and the telephone number of the sending 

machine or such business, other entity, or individual. In 

order to program this information into your fax software, you 

should refer to the manual of the Fax software being used.

10. According to the FCC’s electrical safety advisory, we rec-

ommend that you may install an AC surge arrestor in the 

AC outlet to which this equipment is connected. Telephone 

companies report that electrical surges, typically lightning 

transients, are very destructive to customer terminal equip-

ment connected to AC power sources and that this is a 

major nationwide problem.

 

“Caution : To reduce the risk of fire, use only No.26 AWG or 

larger (e.g., 24 AWG) UL listed or CSA certified telecommunica-

tion line cord.”

 

“ATTENTION : Pour réduire le risque d’incendie, utiliser unique-

ment des conducteurs de télécommunications 26 AWG ou de 

section supérieure (p.ex. 24 AWG) UL énumérés ou CSA certi-

fié.”
